Awesome 2008

If someone asks me about the best days of my life till date, for which I have to trade, umm anything, I would tell them 6:00 pm, 30 June,2008 - 9:00 pm..16th Aug 2008.
These days have been the most beautiful and the pleasurable moments of my life.
Neither did I plan to put date and time nor did I remember them until I started working on this post.
6:00 pm 30th June 2008 - It the time when my father bought me the N73 as a birthday present! I still am the proud owner of one. I was so happy to have it, as I'm now. It was my first intro with Symbian, the 3.2 Carl Ziess and a great music player. It had it all. I remember a few days after buying the phone I hopped through the way, from my room to the kitchen and showed the phone to my mother and yelled, 'This is the best thing I ever had, I love it'. I have in my mind, everything, first photograph I clicked, first song I played, bed tea next morning, on July 1st..It is so amazing to relive the moment.
Who says I suck with remembering things. ;)
We made a trip to our native place for my parents' 25th marriage anniversay on 8th July. The trip that mom, bro and I made to reach to the place was as amazing as it could be. It was a awesome train journey during pre monsoon season with little rain all around. I had learnt to drive that time and I drove Indica on the rainy countryside road with the seat pulled up to the stearing! For the occasion, whole family gathered, uncles and aunts and their kids..One helluva time! Countryside looks great during rainy season, of course, when you are not traveling. I have updaloaded some of the snaps I took, on my blog I wrote during that time.
I came back from the trip and it was my birthday on 13th July. I was allowed to drive the car for the first time, after my, much proclaimed, the great car crash. It was fun!
31st July, I sent chocolates to Shukla for the friendship day gift. I had learnt that there would be a solar eclipse at 1 pm and anything done after 1 pm wont be 'successful'. Rana and I rushed to shops and alll to buy gifts and chocolates for her and then mail them. It was 1:15 and I was certain that the gifts were jinxed, but being the believer I'm, I mailed them. I have a feeling that gifts 'worked', but that is to be discussed later. Mail was delivered on the next day i.e. on 4th of Aug or maybe 5th, but never mind, it got delivered and I was a happy man.
I had planned to meet Shukla, the same month(Aug) when she was to be in Delhi,when it rains, just like 'Ted and Robin' in HIMYM. I had wished that it should rain the time when I meet Shukla. The day it was to happen, it rained a lot. I didn't care about the rain, I drove the bike in the stormy rainy road from college to my place without caring about anything but to reach by 5:00 pm because at 6 we had to meet. Rain didn't stop and it was hard to convince parents to allow me to go out to meet a 'friend' while it rained. Shukla too was stuck somewhere, so the plan was called off.
16th Aug, it drizzled that day, roads were quite wet, but it did not rain hard enough. Drizzle counts as rain! right?! There I was at CCD going through the menu to kill some time and that's when Shukla opened the door. - SIGH - Time was good till the time Akhil opened the door again and made the entry. Shukla looked as awesome as ever. I dont have enought words to mentin on this so keeping it short. The meeting got over by some time around 8:30 -9 pm and so is the tale of best days of my life.
Hope to have great time in future. Solar eclipse's jinx seems to be playing to role today. But whatever happens, happens for good. I'm totally over the '10 year' love thing. I see a better future for myself.
