The First (?) Date.

Please read the previous part (Life is.. well,life) before you read this.

5 minute 52 second long phone conversation.
And life was pure bliss.

This weekend, she is coming to Bombay. To meet me. Ofcourse she didn't tell that to her hostel mates. She probably didn't tell them anything at all. Maybe to her best friend Betty, but none else. In her words.. "Its my life and I'll spend 400 bucks of travel money the way I want to. And, dont you dare to make an excuse.".

Excuse? No wayyyy. I would love to meet her. Second time in my life. :-)

The plan is worked out over the next few days through chatting, phone calls and for me, even in dreams. :D She'll get off at the main bus stand at Dadar, avoiding any hassles of stops in between. I'll be there to pick her up and we'll go somewhere. Yes, somewhere. We weren't able to decide about that. All in the name of planning. :-)

When the day comes, am there at the bus stand an hour earlier. Arggghhh, I hate waiting. But its alright, I brought my camera. I can always fiddle with it, take some photos of life in Bombay. Finally she comes. And after a 15 minute long discussion, we decide (more like she decided). "Lets be normal. Go to some Cafe Coffee Day or Barista and have a nice time resting and chatting." Obviously, I suggested Hiranandani, even if it was a bit far off, I loved the place especially after the Special Saturday.

And, we have a really nice time at CCD. Forgive me for my poor memory, I dont remeber what we ordered. (You can also attribute this to the confusion I have coz of the many CCD trips I've had with Susie ;-) ). Anyway, with a variety of musical tracks, (which included the super-awesome Himes :P ), CCD is a nice place to be for a meeting with the girl.

Unfortunately, there's a bad thing about all dates and meetings. They get over. I dropped her off back to Dadar, helped her onto a bus back, waved goodbye.

To have something to look forward to in life.
You know, it feels good. Really good.

p.s. Unfortunately, my camera was hijacked by Susie during the entire duration of the date, and hence, I have no photographic evidence. At all. She found the Erase-all option.
