When one trip is cancelled, many happen...

Before I start, reigning thought of the day...kids all over the world speak the same language!

Kids are really the sweetest things on earth, almost the only good part about the human race. There's a world in a kid's smile -- a world of purity, innocence and love. Needless to say, I just absolutely adore children, and love playing with them a lot, be it India or Europe. Kids here are soo cute and lovable, one could just watch them all day. Yesterday I made friends with a couple of Swedish kids and although I didn't really understand much of the little they said, it wasn;t hard to understand what they meant. Kids all over the world really speak the same language. I didn't even want to leave, but it was time to get off, so I handed them a few chocolates and left. Their smiles were truly amazing...beyond my words.

Anyway, back to the topic of the post, a long, good-weather but yet mostly dark and depressed weekend just ended for me, and I have eight hours of backto back classes to attend in a couple of hours. Still the weekend was all about existant and non-existant trips though. I had planned an awesome cruise trip to Finland with some of my Indian friends here for the weekend, and the nine of us would have had a rocking time if we didn't have to cancel last minute. It turned out that I, and some of the others, were too young and too single to go on that cruise. Ah! I wish I had a boyfriend, or I was a few years older. Whatever...

So that cancelled, the mood slipped into a lot of inactivity and loneliness for two days. Too lazy to do any work, i just lay in my bed till the mood went from bad to worse to pathetic, and the very few who tried to IM me, just got yelled at for nothing. Sorry folks! A long chat with a dear friend and a mini-feast at the end of a dull sad saturday did it for me, and the mood slowly got better, esp as I had more things to worry about. So that trip cancelled, I thought we should do something on sunday for the weather has been no nice and warm touchwood that I spent the whole day in Sleeveless nothings yesterday[:P]. Got three of my friends willing, and after lots of planning and cancellation,just decided to explore the city randomly. So it was a random picnic at some place we don't know yet(we just climbed in and out of buses [:D]) but it was real fun with all the talking, teasing, games and all the kids and couples around!

Got back to a heavy dinner and a sound sleep, but this trip wasn't free of trips of another kind for me too! As in, there are somedays right when you just keep falling or tripping or hurting yourself. Something got to me yesterday then, though thankfully nothing serious or even worriable happened. It all started with me hurting a knee in the morning when I got out of bed. That was followed by a mini-accident, when I was getting into the Metro and my leg slipped and turned and got stuck in the space between the train and the platform. It hurt, and wouldn't pull back, but being a sunday afternoon, there was such a crowd immediately and thankfully someone pulled the emergency brakes too. And then, here comes one of my three friends who were slightly far absolutely worried that "Sandal to gayi ab!!" But, thankfully, two minutes later both my leg and the sandal were out unhurt, only the leg slightly twisted. And worry not, my friend got to taste the same sandal for himself! :D

Anyway, it barely even aches now, so it's fine. But the trips continued all through the day, none causing too much damage. I cut my hand with a knife and leg with broken glass too, and nearly slipped in water once. But it was a lucky, happy day. so i'm still in one piece. However, the moral of the story is...when one trip gets cancelled, many many trips happen!! :D
