Almost a month over, but I am still reminiscing the wonderful time spent with my friends.What was a nodding acquaintance, blossomed into friendship a few years ago.A happy foursome, it is a friendship with no disguises, no secrets.Rarely have we gone out together, and when we did, one or the other would be missing.But this time we did make it happen and we were determined to freak out and spend time together.We met at a friend's place first and I was awestruck at the surprises they sprung on me. Gifts were handed out, accompanied by their singing and it took moments for me to realise that they were actually celebrating my oncoming 60th birthday, which was due in a week.It left me speechless and I had no words to thank them.
We decided to hang around in the newly built mall and spend time window shopping.We must have been a funny sight - all grandmas moving around the mall jauntily with youthful exuberance!We recreated our carefree days once again, though only for a few hours.We moved from shop to shop thoroughly enjoying ourselves,not forgetting to buy a few saris in the process.We even encountered a well known film star and made small talk with her.I am doubtful if we would have even looked at her on any other day.A couple of photographs clicked by the floor manager and we headed to the food court for lunch.We had a whale of a time bingeing on a variety of food and ice creams!Chitchatting over lunch, we realized it had become too late to visit the exhibition we had planned to and headed homeward.For a few hours we had truly forgotten home and hearth. Back home with all the worries and responsibilities, happy memories were forever etched in our minds.
