is that I had a tiring weekend.
Not so much because I did anything that exhausting, but rather because there was something I really wanted to do - but which wasn’t meant to be. All I can say is, Praise God.
Conversation with my Dad on Saturday went something like this:
Me: Dad, please, I really want to do this.
Dad: You know how I feel about this, but if this makes you happy…
Me: Yes dad. Besides, don’t worry - the Lord always protects me. He’s never ever let anything bad happen to me. I know He’ll close this door if it’s not meant for me to walk through it.
Dad: Well that doesn’t mean you should stand in the middle of a busy highway and say “God will protect me”!
Sunday, on my way home, after finding out that Dad was indeed correct:
Me (via sms): Think God just pulled me off the highway dad. Love you.

One good thing that did happen over the weekend though was a mini school reunion. It was *super* fun. Had a similar fun night when I was in Sydney last year and it’s amazing how easily we regress to being little giggly girls simply by being put in the presence of school mates! It’s also amazing that no one seems to have changed - the warmth & love between us was as strong as before (perhaps even more so with the passing of time!)

Finally, something that made me smile this morning - this 23 year old friend of mine sent me this link to xkcd.com this morning:
No, I am not planning on dating him - or the 25 yr guy I had dinner with last night either 
- but at least it’s good to know that “dating pool” is now wider!

In all fairness, and to the best of my math abilities (which were never much to speak about anyway), 23 seems to be OK according to this here rule, no?

And also — How is your ‘dating pool getting wider’ if you’re ruling out people that fit within the formula?

Haha, quite funny. I have been following you for quite some time and its a surprise that you haven’t really found some one yet.
Well well just wish you all the luck to find someone lucky lol. And hey next time you have a bloggers meetup in Mumbai keep it in November this year that is the only time I could meet you with the guy you will find since lol.
FYI I am in NY and will follow your progress hehe.

@ Sam: yay
