No socialising this Monday

Its almost 1-1/2 years that I have come to Bhopal. I came here for the first time after my marriage in June last year. Bhopal was a new city for me, also none of my relatives or friends stay here so the only known person was my husband.

Basically I am an unsocial person & don't make friends very easily. So I had my own apprehensions about the thought of coming to an entirely new place with a new person.

But when we reached Bhopal early in the morning two of my husband's colleagues cum friends Sravani and Mujeeb came to recieve us at the station. They really gave me a very warm welcome here.

Then they used to come to our house almost every Monday for dinner as that day is my husband's weekly off. In this way Sravani became a good friend of mine. I liked her because she is very lively person and does not like gossiping which I simply hate.

So I used to look forward to Monday because that will be the only day when I get to socialise also I could try out some new recipes as Sravani is very fond of food and the best part about her is that she relishes any thing that is cooked which boosts my confidence.

This Monday that is yestarday she did not come to our place as she is not in Town. She is off to Nagpur for Durga Puja, an important festival for Bengalis. I really missed her. She is coming back on Wednesday. Let's see if we can have a dinner this week. I am sure she will also be excited for Ramzan delicacies.
