I was lazy or exhausted??

I slept for most time of the day yesterday.. It was such a boring day.. I tried to keep self awake but I just didn't feel like spend my day waking.. Not even reading or watching a movie.. It was just such a lazy day when you just want to drag yourself out of the bed..

It was to be an eventful day.. It was my best friend's sister's birthday yesterday and also my good friend Naveen was going back to Ireland.. Till last night I was determined to call the birthday girl and chat with for quite sometime and also see if I could meet my friend before he left.. But, the lazy me just couldn't get out of the bed!!

I was up till 12:34 the night before.. Talking to a baffled friend.. She was bewildered, unhappy, so depressed, so down cast and so lonely, I wondered if she is gonna be fine? I was trying to appease her and make her feel all better..

I wanted to wish the birthday girl at 12.. I saw the clock show 11:57, I turned to have a look at the phone.. Thought of calling her, took the phone in my hands as I smiled at the prospects of making her feel special and that I remember her birthday so well and that I was still awake just to wish her... I unlocked the keypad and the phone started ringing.. It was the confounded friend.. I answered the phone and asked her what was it? why was she calling at that time? She said, she was just trying her luck.. And since I replied, she was too glad that she took the chance.. I could clearly hear that deep voice wanted to pour over all the vexes and relieve herself of the pain.. I didn't tell her why I was awake till 12 as I didn't want to push her away by telling the real reason.. So as she poured out her heart over the phone, I lost track of the time..

The matters of heart are something that can break the hardest nut.. I hate this 'LOVE' stuff.. Its just such a short-lived happy feeling and the associated pain is so ever lasting.. Have seen people cry even after so many years have passed.. So why take on such a venture that would only bear tears, I don't understand.. Its a topic that needs more discussion, so let's not swirl over that territory.. She was nursing a broken heart.. Who broke her heart? To some extent I had a hand in it but it was for her good.. Come on, I didn't steal her boyfriend so no need to give me that look.. That guy wasn't good for her and I just told him point blank to keep off her or I'll turn into his worst nightmare.. He agreed and is keeping off her, but what to do with your friend?

You can't scare them.. I can be bad to her but I don't want to.. Its the last thing to resort to.. I won't mind being a bitter medicine if I can cure her.. But, we have decided to keep it as the last ace up our sleeves..

As I grumbled and showed my displeasure, I knew she didn't expect a rebuke.. Well, with me you get the unexpected.. I can be so unpredictable.. I am good at inflicting insults and sometimes its important to awaken the conscience of a weakened Friend.. So I knew she wasn't liking me for pinpointing all her faults and how I had to poke my nose into her matters to get things right.. Its important to bring in humour too as I feel too much of reprimanding also leads to sowing of seeds of hatred and a desire to keep off the person.. So as I spoofed the guy for his stupidity and peculiar style and cited examples from my life, we ended the talk on a happy note and I like to give people a thing to think about as I call off, I gave her a task of devising a plan to bring down my enemies.. We all have our beloved enemies who we like to despise.. I am a human to have enemies and its a right to make your enemy look and feel like a fool..[;)]

As I put down the phone to slip in my bed, I was exhausted to call the Birthday gal.. Thought of giving her an early morning call.. While the phone still vibrated to evoke me and take a look at the texts she poured over my phone to make me aware how she felt about the recent chit-chat session.. I think it was like a professional counselling session..

So I woke up the next morning a bit late and then was doing one thing or other to make up for the extra hours spent sleeping.. I wanted to call her at a relaxed time so that I could tell her the last night ordeal.. As I rushed through all the chores and tried to find a few minutes of peace, I was already feeling sleepy.. I didn't find a slacked moment and finally texted a mundane 'Happy Birthday' to prevent not texting at all.. Thought of calling and explaining later.. That later never comes though..

I was always planning to talk to Naveen before he left but now I had somehow forgotten about it.. I think we should do things whenever we remember it rather than waiting for the right moment.. The right moment is now or never.. So it would have been better if I would have called him on 5th itself rather than waiting for 6th.. So as I slept, dog-tired, I again lost track of time.. i slept for more than 4 hours.. I woke up at around 4:30.. As you know looking at the phone is the first thing I do, I saw 2 missed calls from Naveen.. Oh!! I slept and maybe he has taken the flight.. I didn't know the time of his flight either..

I thought of taking the chance and call him.. He answered it, with a slight sign bitterness and anger, he sarcastically called me the 'Busiest person to pick a call'... I explained him that I was sleeping and the phone was on silent mode.. And I wanted to talk to him before he left.. I could hear that understanding tone and was happy to know he believed me.. He said he was leaving for the Airport.. Happy to catch up with him.. I wished him a happy journey.. Asked him to contact as soon he settles back to normal life there.. He promised.. He hung up and I was happy to take chance.. I take chances, its important to take these small risks and try to tap all opportunities.. You don't loose much by taking a chance, I always take that every possible last chance not to repent it later.. Its so contenting to feel I tried when at some future point you felt bad about not having that thing.. You don't feel depressed and dejected by thinking, 'I wish I took that chance then'...

So I just did the two tasks at hand, though not to my greatest satisfaction, but we can talk and clear the air or cleared things there and then.. [:)]
