Surprise!!!

Yes...it was Saturday the 9th....Only Rishan knew that i was back in Lanka...and that too only cos he flew back with me...and i needed an accomplice for my plans!! Ha ha!! Initially hasna was supposed to be my accomplice but then dates got changed and i decided to fly ealier...so used rishan!!!

So the day was planned perfectly..the guys wud watch Spiderman and then go to dinemor for lunch...and i would just walk into dinemore and "surprise"!!! BUt wait...plans never work out the way they are supposed to...especially with us

The first spoiler was Hasna not getting permission to join...hmmm...so i changed my plan..i would drop by at her place and surprise her...and drag her along with me...Then came the second problem...they changed plans from the flower road dinemore to the liberty one...now i was wondering if aunty would say yes to that....but ha ha..she did...so YAY!! we got into the threewheeler and set off!!

But the biggest bummer was when we got there...there were no belvoirians in sight at all!!! What the cux!! Ok...call rishan now...but fella out of credit!!!! Arrrrrrrrrrrrrgh...now what!!! Who knew that a surprise could be that hard...so anyway finally we somehow got thru to him and found they were in excel world!!! BUMMMMMMMMMMER!!!!! Now how were we gg to get permission from Hasna's mum for that.....well well...crossing our fingers we went back to Hasna's...and there we somehow got permisssion for Hasna!! YAY!!

SO finally we got to excel world...while i hope for no more changes, Hasna is enjoying her ride alone in a 3 wheeler...with no chaperone....and savouring every moment of her so called "adevnture"!!!

We get to excel world...both of us haven't sighted the place in ages...and so we kinda had no sense of direction...but somehow we manage to get directly to the food court where we see them!! now HAsna and i just walk in that direction...Rameez is the 1st person to spot me...and he does a double take...haha...and then one by one ppl go "OMG, Nithiya!"...and sajjaaad, the best if the lot...he stands up and says "Bitch....come here...gimme a hug"....ha ha...and thats how the hugs started...and one by one they kept coming!!! I was soooo happy...the happiest i have been in a loooooooong time!!!

Well after that, we basically ate....hung out...went bowling...etc etc...and then it was back home!!

But all in all...the reactions on my frens faces was worth all the effort put into the surprise!

Home sweet home

The breath of fresh Sri Lankan air, warm and friendly faces allover, familiar languages around me, my loving family, life long friends, the not-so-clean roads, the pot holes here and there, the butiks, the cyclists, the commenting guys, the sea, the natural greenery, the lorries, the crowded buses, the stray dogs, the check points, some rundown houses in between the better maintained ones, the fresh aroma of spices, the waterfalls...oh and sooo much more - but basically an imperfect country but my paradise....

Its heavenly to be back home!!!!
