My dream.... is to Fly....

Over the Rainbow….. so… High

I almost did. Heh heh yeah. Yesterday, amidst all the explosions, one of my dearest buddies decided to say his Good byes and head for one of the Oily Nations. Had a farewell for him at the Colombo Rowing Club. Woo Awesome spot. !! Time was right for a shot (Yeah only 50 ml. That’s all. A rare occurrence !!) for old time’s sake, and God only knows I'll get to chill out at the Rowing Club ever again. Second time though for me. Once I got a chance to savor the delicious food and a cup of tea when I was involved in setting up the sound system for the annual Regatta during school days.

Well, Thats not reason to go flying high. I was crossing the road to go to the club (From the Regal Cinema side to the area where there are the Air Force check points.) I was walking right into some military guys. Hold it… one guy was holding an RPG and another taking his pic from the Phone cam. Then they saw me crossing the road and coming towards them. Holy God…. they gave me the looks, staring right at me. I was expecting the weapon to be directed at me. I almost visualized it and was also wondering why such a massive one for a Stick like me. Fortunately or unfortunately they stopped the gaze and my chances of flying high were vanished. Well this too was the second time for me as once I was targeted by some STF personnel with machine guns when I tried to cross the Road.

On Friday we had a party at office. (A Paduru Party) and would you believe it ?? your’s truly was in charge of the Liquor. I don’t consume normally and definitely not at work. Hmm 16 White Rum, 15 OR, 2 Old Arrack on the menu. It went ofF well with some remaining. Also had to drive a friends car back home since the bugger had consumed and the cops don't have mercy these days.

I must mention the madness of the traffic plans. Closing some roads, making some One Way and changing plans at different times. We’re all messed up I think. Anyhoo.. still looking for a chance to Fly….

Over the Rainbow….. so… High
