Surprise in Dubai !

My flight route was Hyd - Dubai - JFK (NY)...I had a 2 hrs halt at Dubai and I had to change the flight....After I got down in Dubai, I got into the bus, listened to the instructions and got down in Stop 1 to catch the connecting flight. After the security check was over, I climbed the elevator to reach the information center (to find the Gate number of my NY flight).... all these happened with some fear at heart, cos I was all alone and everything looked gigantic in Dubai.

After I found the gate number, I was slowly walking with my eyes searching for gate number 11...Suddenly, I saw someone familiar standing near a coffee shop...I was surprised for a moment, and I couldnt believe my eyes-- first time I have "experienced" this statement !!!

Yes, it was Illamaran, my batcheee, watching me with a pleasant smile :-):-) YAYYYY that was soooo nice to see our ppl in an unknown place, with an insecured feeling....Ah, how to explain it, I dont know....I was continuously asking myself, "is this happening really?"...

I started feeling at home after I met him :-):-):-) very comfortable :-) that "out of country, alien" feeling was no more :-) I happily walked with him, talked for sometime, and reached my gate entrance....He waited with me in the queue and both shared our happenings in life...He too had his flight to Singapore at the same time...So, we bid adieu to each other and I continued with the other security checkings....

I thanked God for getting someone for me, not someone, a very nice, understanding friend to vanish my frightened feeling...I had a wonderful rest of my journey :-)

Thanks sooo much, Batchee :-)

take care everyone,

Loving,
J.

Do you think so?

I was in an extremely *bad* mood since this weekend...Ah, I hate to say this...but cant help, i have to write the facts here. I was getting hurt and hurting A and he too added his part uff :(..and today morning he called me, I was soo happy to see his name flashing on my mobile and took the call but didnt talk to him properly. Adhukum I was feeling soo bad, didnt know whom to blame..Grr.

I came office very late thinking that A would have slept by then. paatha, he was online..OMG! Immediately, came down from my heights of bad feeling and was about to plead him to talk to me nicely.

As always, after I started venting out how bad I was feeling, there was no response from him. I told him all these expecting that he would console me and konjam aaruthalaa pesuvaanghanu. paatha, shock! He typed this:

"I think you need someone like Rajnikanth in Chandramukhi ra...there are some deep beliefs and assumptions in you which are making you down every now and then. books or me or anyone can't help handle these"

adapaavi...enaku azharatha, sirikarthaanu therla..but smiled at myself for becoming an hopeless character..hhmmm

but thats completely true!! I am badly going down very frequently these days...frequency eppadi na, in seconds, minutes'la kooda iruku :( I pity A! ennoda pada mudiyalai :-)
