Meeting Swarnali

Hello, beautiful world! (Okay, I got into the habit of saying that because of Ian Somerhalder's tweets.) I have had an exciting month of sorts and got caught up with a number of things which sadly kept me from finishing off the story I was writing. And while I wanted to post the final part of "When It Rained..." before writing about the million other things on my mind right now, I couldn't resist telling you about my plans for the day.

Guess where I'm heading? To China! I'm going to Yunnan University with my Mum and kid sister to visit my Dad who is the guest professor there at the moment. And guess who I'll be meeting today? Swarnali!! I'll take the flight to China from Kolkata and I'll meet her at the airport for the very first time! I can hardly wait. :D This is going to be SO exciting; when we first got to know each other, neither of us guessed we'd end up being such good friends. Nor had we expected to meet anytime soon because I live all the way in Delhi. It came as a pleasant surprise when I found out we'll pass by Kolkata and while it's sad that I won't get to go around the city this time, I know meeting Swarnali would make up for it.

So my next post will be all about our first 'real' conversation, but only if I manage to access blogger there in China. If not, then I am sure to be back in another week with the conclusion of my story and the anecdote about meeting my darling pen pal! Until then, hope you have a wonderful week ahead!
