If I have to award busiest(queeeeeeekest) 30 days in last 2 yrs or so, I will award it to last 30 days. ammm, I think I should consider last 40 days for it - they were more or less same. Planning and preparing for road trip to mussoorie + dhanaulti on 2nd october and the weekend was a lot more exciting than the actual drive. Leaving at 1 am and crossing the worst criminal belt in northern India - Meerut - muzzaffarnagar - saharanpur - was not so appealing to my parents and Tauji. They said everything which, in usual days, could have easily changed my mind to alter trip timings but I think excitement and happiness was so much over my head that I ignored them completely. And I did right ;) .

I had plan to leave at 1am so by the time I reach mountaints (Dehradun) I can see them grooming from pitch dark to bright blue, orange and then green. Well lucky us, we saw those beautiful mountains in all possible shades and I had not put breaks on 99% of potholes to reach on time. Before reaching Dhanaulti, we were driving 1000 feets above mussoorie (2250 mtrs approx above sea level) and we took a lonely - very lonely and forgotten kind of road. It was still a comfortable drive untill Rohit(baluja) wanted to try his hands and our luck with the car.

Imagine the next few seconds for us in car - he didn't start the car and took off the gear to neutral- controlling the stearing smoothly, he intended to park the car at a corner above a tiff.... looking cool, he suddenly shouted - Breaks nai lag rahi (breaks are not working) - and we were almost dead. If not physically, I personaly felt my heart was in my neck already and could jump out of the car before our car jump from the tiff.. Out of fear, my hands automatically pulled up the hand breaks and I couldn't believe him - smart ass was trying to apply power breaks without starting the engine. He then drove almost 20 kms after this incidence, forget about the mountains and beauty - I didn't remove my hands from hand-break for a millisecond then :)

4 days in Dhanaulti and Mussoorie were full of fun and booze --> more fun ;) lots of shooting competitions within ourselves (air riffle on baloons and cans) ---> a lot more fun. Maggie, awful Pakoras, super oily Paranthas and Tea at road side Dhabas ---> not bad! Teasing Dharminder for his marriage scheduled in february, Topa and Ashesh for the Road Side Journey they missed while coming by train, Rohit for his senseless driving, and all of us playing Tennis in PS2 all nights - I can live without sleeping for years like this...

Soon after the party was over and we were back to Delhi by Monday morning - I said to party without sleeping for years, not work! 1) it was a Monday 2) I wanted to sleep 3) it was a Monday 4) I wanted to c photographs 5) it was a Monday 6) I had lots of pending work 7) it was monday...........................it was still a Monday!

With lots of work, I had a confirm deal - crucial one for my company's existence. Working with Sam on new project during day and updating client at nights - I hardly slept during the weeek. Ashesh, KV, Topa and I met for Topa's birthday treat and I couldn't sleep on that Sunday either. 5 movies, lots of dinners, Ankita's birthday, Diwali season, Deepti's treat, My birthday, Proffessors from Scotland, Rohit's birthday(movie last night) and Dinner and drinks with Sunny, Rohit(Arora) tonight - I am extreeemely busy u c ! next time before noticing my over wieghted body, you must read this blog again !

I was looking for a good book on Indian History from last one year...Didn't really like anything - they were all very big and expensive. Finally, I have a copy now and it is by Percibal Spear (knowing Indian history from a foreginer is not so exciting but I am hoping for the best). Its Saturday night + I am back from another dinner session + I dont have any movies for tonight + no one is available to chat + I dont want this night to end..So, I shall start the book now or else it will take me one more year to do so.......
