Starts with a ride on the Mumbai local – standing at the gate – to soak in the amazing weather, as I rode across the bridge to Vashi – offering a long view of the horizon.
Followed by – a drive on the expressway – up the hill in lonavala – long stares into the valley – a game of cards, a picnic lunch, hot pakode, mist in the face, rain to soak, clouds to surround , chilly breeze, growing into a wind as you see, a hot bhutta, a phone call to tell someone they’re being missed, a text to lil, getting back into the car, for a slow drive down the hill coz you can’t see beyond 5 meters…. with open windows so you still feel the rain..
A descent from Heaven, amidst the clouds! Loads of curves- the view still blocked -a famous vada pao, an extra sweet coffee and a drive back to Vashi.
Followed by a drive on the palm beach road, a glimpse of a cute home and family and some sweet childhood pics, and next a short but lovely bike ride with the wind in my hair as the pillion, a quick spin on a sexy bike, a small walk, some small talk and a conversation amidst beautiful weather. Some growing up.
Then zip back to mama’s for another game of cards – with jeering and cheering on a high.. a lot of pulling, a dinner of pizza.. and a glimpse of India crumbling against west indies in the match. A peaceful sleep.
5:45 AM – the local again, again a pretty morning, to bring me back, to home, to my desk, to work!
Despite such a weekend, i’m saved the monday blues by my kinda work, my kinda workplace, my desk and the view from here!
