Incomplete

I was in Bombay this weekend.

Nothing went the way it was planned. Nothing.

Objectives of the trip were left incomplete - so there is a feeling of being unfulfilled. Of being denied certain pleasures in which I seek comfort, peace of mind and yes, even a certain amount of hedonistic delight .

I want to go back and ensure fulfillment of such pleasures.

Murphy's Law?
Maybe thats why some things are better left unplanned ;)

Hmmm, you know, there's obviously a reason to that. I always think that the universe works in a certain way because it's doing its best to avoid natural calamities, georaphical disasters, and rise in population. So truly, there must be some logic there. Next time, leave it to the universe to plan for ya...

Btw, your apology was quite unnecessary, because then we'd ALL have to apologise for last night. Honestly, I was apalled.

What will be, usually is. I do hope you have a blast on your next trip. Keep smiling, sweetie. :)

Sorry to hear that. There is nothing worse than planned travel not working the way you want it to. Of course, sometimes that works out better, but I guess not in this case. Hope you get to go again soon!

Thoughts - Thanks! And yes, I've seen Pune change for the worse in just 1 year so I can't imagine how changed you'd find it after 2000!
