Eye Opener Weekend...

I was quite depressed with few things happening to me... Couldn't understand what was wrong with me.....I had promised my friend that I will be meeting him this weekend... Since I am away from home, there is lot of demand for me over the weekends..... Weekends make me feel like a STAR.... :)......Family and friends everyone wanting part of you.... But despite of everyone liking and wanting me so much, why was i feeling so depressed and low... :(

Sis dear had plans for dinner and I also had to meet Mr. Ajo... So we finally decided that we three will go for dinner together....I was physically present with them but mentally not..... I was wandering somewhere else.... I was questioning myself where am I if not here.....I knew the answer...I was missing someone.... :(....I was missing out on the conservation and discussions which were going on the dinning table.... My friend and Sis were getting wild....

Mr. Ajo, my godfather,my mentor and a wonderful friend.... He is always besides me in all the seasons of my life.... Knows what makes me low, what brings smile on my face and what all blunders I do.... :)

Looking at me he understood that I was depressed about something.... Without me having defined my problem, he had given me solution.....Gargi, just stay in the present, learn from your mistakes.... I always live in past or future... :( Not making my present happy...

After the dinner I was feeling so good, revived!!The food then tasted awesome... Being a foodie, I love to hog.... And I just long and love to share these hogging moments wid Sis, Mr. Ajo and the person I miss.... :) Love you all... Thanks for always being there.....
