Empty weekends
The second half of the year has begun. The specialty is there would be many long weekends because of the festivities. It’s the time of the year when I wallow of not having the “family friends” which our parents were blessed with in their generation. Maybe they were just the neighbours or colleagues who became family, but there were picnics held, day trips done to temples etc. Now, in the big metro cities, we have the time, and the comforts of apartment societies which bring about so many neighbours to choose from. Yet, we feel isolated, not “vibing” with them and either planning a weekend by ourselves at home or just with our parents - nuclear trip. The only family we travel with is because of that extrovert friend who keeps on bugging us to come along for that and this travel. Though I am grateful to him, I still crave for varied experiences. Every time I have tried reaching out to others, they replies saying they were busy or “another time”. It’s like the job interviews - rejection pe rejection - where you hold onto yourself and apply again. When will this end? I have started to doubt the saying now, that universe conspires to fulfill your dreams.
Maybe I should try new tricks to trick them into my plan. What hacks have you tried successfully to invite people for weekend day/overnight trips?

Why doesn’t people talk to each other more
Yesterday had a long talk with the husband on what his current projects are. A bunch of information was shared which made me excited about the IT future in general. The work maybe boring and daunting but the future prospects gives hope. Maybe I was always drawn to new tech. But d...

“Good we are moving. This house is so small.”, said Vivaan. He must have picked it up from our conversations. “But I will miss my friends”, he quickly added.
Day 7 - wedding chronicles
Yesterday, attended a wedding after many many ages. Why I am not invited much would fill another post. The hall was big and the number of guests were huge. We were already late for the marriage happening at noon, owing to the morning traffic. Observing them all, it all seemed lik...
