Make a wish

I had some problem with internet connection and couldn't post anything on the blog for the past few days. The last post was written offline on the 30th and posted today after the net started to work. A lot of things have improved for the people in question and seems like the new year started on a good note for them with the promise of some new beginnings on the horizon.

First things first it's also my birthday today i.e 1st January but by the time I post this entry it's going to be the 2nd. I haven't had the best of the birthdays for the past few years and at most times birthday and the idea of it used to stress me out. This year was pleasantly different and leaves me optimistic about the year to come on foreign shores with much to discover!! The good part of having your birthday on New Years Day is that most people remember it and it's always nice to hear from people you haven't spoken to in ages. At the same times it is more than obvious when you know some people remember but choose not to call.

Anyways I have no regrets as the day went off without a glitch. I spent most of the 31st traveling as I had to visit someone in another city and by the time I reached home it was 6 in the evening and I was very tired. I had retired to bed thinking of calling it a night but got a call from Jughead and decided to go out to a club for a while. It was a rather sensible decision. Though I don't dance and am mortified at the idea of hitting the dance floor but the night was rather enjoyable. Jughead and his friend danced away to glory while another friend of his equally mortified by dancing gave me company in shaking a leg or two in a corner and some interesting conversation flowed along with vodka and tequila shots. By the end of it all everyone seemed to have enjoyed and found means to entertain themselves with either the music, dance, liquor, or the eye candy on the dance floor especially a group of guys who were most probably Indians visiting from England. One could make that out from their clothes, hair and the ohh so nice accent.

In the morning I went to the Gurudwara (Sikh place of worship) with a friend and spent the evening with another friend ending the day by balancing the act and going out for dinner with my family. Overall a very pleasant day without any untoward incidents and a awesome way to start the year. I am keeping my fingers crossed but I have an intuition that this year is going to be an important one in more ways that one. I surely would keep you all posted with the adventures of the Dervish in the land Down Under and elsewhere wherever he wanders to during the course of his quest!!
