on the high

I have been 'on the high' at work as S puts it. I still don't know how successful my initiative has been but I certainly enjoyed the process. If not anything else, I have figured out what I want to do with my life vis a vie work.January has been hectic and my long hours and travel took a toll on my back. I am home for a couple of days to recuperate.
Among my travels was a visit to goa..I was there only for a night but I made the most of it. I had some great food at a restaurant called mum's place and hung out at the beach, shooting the wind with some friends.
I also met Dan finally! He just could'nt get over how much weight I had put on. He looked the same.Just talks a lot more now.It was him talking and me listening most of the time. In college it was the other way round.He does'nt seem to have too much in his life other than work. And I felt as if he suddenly became very aware of that as he was talking to me.

new years eve

went off very well. We had a small dinner at home with a few close friends and then went out to Kiva for a few drinks with A, cleo and S and their friends. A seemed surprizingly spirited. I don't know what it was.. the drinks, new years eve or me. I like to believe it was me, of course.The dinner was a huge hit and the kids had a blast too. They put up an impromptu music concert with BOJ strumming his guitar in a very Jimi Hendrix style, Yamu singing in a very opera singer fashion standing on a stool and the other two girls at the drums with one drumstick each! they sang a few christmas carols followed by some very convent school numbers .BOJ then told Yamu.. "okay, now sing some mark knofler songs ". I wonder if Mr. Knofler is aware of what of the effect his music has on 5 yr olds.
Kiva: Well this is a little known lounge bar in our side of town. What I love about the place is the music.. very 70-80s sort of stuff, surprizing, the DJ looks hardly 20. Nice loungy meditereany ambience. good crowd.
