My interesting Life - Friday the 13th!!!

Anyone who says, Friday the 13th is unlucky can go take a walk, I had the most interesting, fun-filled day yesterday!!! We had Independence week at work, with activities like quizzes, crosswords, contests etc, culminating with a traditional day on Friday.

The day began at seven and voila, the throbbing pain & swelling that I had in my foot all week thanks to a pair of ill-fitting sandals had vanished. I sent a quick thank you to the gods who look after peoples feet (I figure we got 33 crore gods in hindu mythology, there must be a segregation of duties) and promptly went out to the closet to pull out my muted gold three inch heels that is a must with any  saree. Not only does it make me look taller, it also makes me look thinner and what woman does not like instant weight loss!!!...So Friday the 13th was looking up alright!!!

After a quick breakfast, I draped the saree in 10 minutes flat, which is quite a accomplishment, given in the past my mum, sister and I would be on verge of world war three after one such session. Sometimes I would be such a nervous wreck after the saree refused to behave that I cancelled out of attending weddings and social events at the last minute. My mum still blesses the day I learnt to drape the saree on my own...Friday the 13th was still galloping the wrong way like a horse on steroids!!!

My office is actually a 40 minute drive, but thanks to the traffic which is further aggravated by potholes and stretches of useable road being cordoned off for the Metro project, of late it takes me two hours at times to get there. Needless to say, I arrive in office already looking forward to call it a day. However yesterday I managed that distance in 50 minutes flat, a miracle no less!!!...Then my team decided to treat ourselves to a buffet lunch at Saffron Spice, the food divine, the conversation sparkling, all in all, it was time well spent!!!...way to go Friday the 13th!!!

In the evening I got a call from an unknown number, surprise, surprise, my cousin who got married last year and went off to Dubai with hubby dearest had arrived in town that afternoon and wanted to catch up!!! We met up for dinner chattering ninteen to a dozen, btw dinner was at Aromas of China, after Mainland China this place has the most amazing food, try the Snow White Crispy Squid, Chilli Butter Noodles and Seafood Fried rice. Yes, we went seafood mad...Friday the 13th, unlucky, sez who???
