Nikhil Dev

I made sure that I had nothing to do other than waste time this weekend. I didn’t take up any party to play at and no other work. It started on a few beers with Mazhar, Nash and Kumar. We were in no mood to drink. The beer was just something to go with the conversation. Its really surprising to know that we always had something to talk about. The “not too much drinking” allowed me to wake up at 8:30 AM on Saturday. A really pleasant, typical Hyderabad summer morning. Bright and the feeling that I didn’t have to go to work. But it got boring simply sitting at home. So I rushed to the LIC office to pay my pending premiums(which apparently, because of my negligence took away half of my month’s salary). I then went straight to Sujith’s place with my guitar as it’s been a long time since we jammed. Reuba joined us pretty soon once she got back from work. So did Sandeep after his cricket practice. The suddenly we realized that it’s been a long time since we played cricket. The last time we played cricket together was more than 5 yrs back. We went downstairs and I should say that I didn’t lose all that pace I had packed in my arm. I still can bowl pretty fast. The line and length were the only problems. But that took just a couple of overs to start getting right. Sujith threw us a challenge that if we could get him out in 6 balls, he would buy us beers. I got him out on the first ball. So then we rushed to Club 8 to join Shoheb, Tillu and Ajit. A pretty good couple of hours with good friends. A really nice talk. I loved the way this weekend was going.

This sunday, I decided not to drink. till about 30 mins back. I took a nap in the afternoon(unwantedly) because of which I will not be able to sleep till 2AM. So I went and got me some Whiskey. Yet to open the bottle. Mom said she wanted to watch ‘Delhi 6′ but in about an hour into the movie, I realized it was pathetic. I mean, my mom can take some of the shittiest movies. But she was not able to understand where this one was going. So we shut down everything. She is in her room asleep and I am blogging after working on a few lines of code. A pretty relaxing weekend I should say. I surely deserved this one.

The weather is very pleasant outside. Cool breeze, the sound of FM radios from far away, a lot of time to waste and nothing to do. It reminds me of Anakapalli. That was the place I was born in. Just that the air was a lot more fresher and cleaner there. I think I love that place.

I should have had some company today to have a coffee with. I recently started talking to this one girl who is pretty interesting to talk to. I think she likes talking to me as well. I am just taking this slow and not really expecting something out of it immediately. I wanna get to know her well. I wanna spend more time listening to her(I bet every girl likes to be listened to).

I gave away this old Motorola Rokr to my mom and it took me a neat couple of hours to explain all the features. She is pretty excited about it though. She is also excited about her new orkut account. She said she saw me on Orkut but did not know how to add me. Now if I teach her that, I assume thats going to be a lot of spying into my personal life

Right now I am restless as there is not much I have to do. I think its time to crack open the bottle. Gotta sleep early to go to office tmrw.
