Malibu Beach

Finally a weekend; seems like eternity since I have had one of those. Feels like such a luxury. It was one of my friend’s birthday and a perfect excuse to venture out. So we rented a car and set out for the day.
We went to a lot of places: Malibu beach, Santa Monica and LA Downtown. But I loved Malibu the best. It’s such a beautiful place. Protected with vast mountain ranges, the Malibu beach is picturesque and perfect. Now a home to a lot of Hollywood celebs, Malibu was once a private property. Can you imagine that? What must it feel to own those 27 miles of pristine beach flanked with Golden mountain ranges just alongside the Pacific Coast Highway!
We reached the beach just before sunset. The sunset at Malibu is the best I have ever witnessed. Next, we went to the famous Malibu Pier. This was one of the best moments of the day. The Pier lit with golden lights looked like a glittering crown on the otherwise dark Pacific. It was perfect. The vast raging ocean, the soft harmony created by the waves and the playful wind, the silver reflections of the moon casted on the water, the golden reflections like fireworks in water from the Street lights, a trace of soft music from the cafe nearby and absolutely no-one around. I was instantly carried away into a trance by the sinful ambience.
Not for long; just then a friend shook me to reality. It was time to hit the next destination and we had to leave the place. But I can still remember the charisma of that moment.

Work,work and work.........

Phewww!!! I have been working the entire weekend....Gosh! I feel so exhausted...mentally and physically too. It has been such a long week. So much work, so much of anxiety...so much stress. I have almost lost touch with my life. Hope it gets over soon. Hope it goes well.

Sometimes little things can work wonders. Today was another exhausting day at work. Left office by 7:30 pm. The entire weekend had gone by and another hectic week was about to start. I was already feeling sick. Just then, some of my friends called up and all of us met at a cafe nearby. We chatted and chatted until the cafe was about to close for the day. And guess what, I was recharged within no time. Its amusing how little things can make such a difference. Well, there was coffee too; which works wonders with my mood anyway.
