Last day of lunch, before Ramadhan.

It's okay to be alone.

That's what I say, when you decide from morning not to spend lunch time with me.

It's sad really.
An impromptu order of two nasi beriyani with mutton meat. It isn't about spending the money to buy lunch... it is the longing of having someone who wants to have lunch with you.

I've never really had that someone.
Funny isn't it?

I don't speak the same language as 3/4 of the people in my firm.
I don't even think the same as the people here.
I don't get invited for anything. With anyone.
I just don't fit in.

And, when I do feel like I fit in, it was just in my head.

It's true what they say...
... you cannot buy your way to people's heart (or mind).

So, it's okay to be alone.
It's okay to spend my last lunch before Ramadhan starts, alone.

It's okay.

'Til next time.
