Finally the WEDNESDAY has come which every cricket fan was waiting anxiously. As the clock is ticking m feeling butterflies in my stomach, head, legs,arms.....in short all over my body.

SIGH!! ... these thoughts are not allowing me to concentrate anywhere :p Its the biggest match of the world cup 2011 today....oh my god....India vs Pakistan in semis..aaouchhh....the only mention of such a heart rendering contest is giving me shrill thrill. It is the biggest day in life of every Indian and Pakistani....god i wish i could see the match live in the stadium....BUT does my heart allow me?

You know you had an awesome trip with friends when.....

You think about THAT trip about 4-5 times a day You just can't stop from checking the pics whenever you open  PC You start realizing non-trippers are getting uncomfortable of newly developed bondings and equations  You check for friends albums/updates/comments about THAT trip.... whenever you log on to Facebook You just want to talk about the trip and fun you had with fellow colleagues/family You desperately want those days to come back  You want to meet those friends again and again You want them to know how close they have come to you You start liking that temporary life over your permanent one You smile alone when happy thoughts come to your mind You are still under the hangover even after 2 weeks......... Was on trip with friends to Jim Corbett and Nainital for 5 days....the fun i had there is unmatchable. Love you guys for making those days so so special for me. With loads of love, D...
