Neki kar, dariya mein daal

It' s very difficult to not feel like telling your best friend about your 'neki'. You want him/her to appreciate you and say you are a wonderful person and all that. And although I know I should fight the temptation, yesterday was the first time I was actually able to convert that thought into reality. Now if I mention what I did, and somebody happens to read this, then the whole point of this entry is defeated. But I would certainly like to look back at this entry sometime and remember the incident with satisfaction. So I am going to leave little hints about it that will help me remember this years from now (I am very forgetful, in case you didn't know). There was a komalas meal waiting for me in 'chateau le fame' and I was rushing there in a cab. And later when it was all over, the cab driver was upset that I wasted my time on an ungrateful person. This was also the first time I said "ke yi" in a completely conversational way, it came out naturally in fact! Well, it may sound trivial to you, but it's a big step, trust me. When you are learning a language, the turning point is where you stop thinking of yourself as a foreigner and start responding to people in that language. For me, yesterday was such a turning point, and it was confirmed by the fact that I realized it only later. Life is good.
