25th :: we reached i the morning. My mamaji (mamu 1)and his son, 6 years younger to me like my sis, picked us up. My grandparents had already reached . My uncle, imagining me to be the skiiny kid i was years ago, started doing friendly wrestling (for lack of better word)with me. Unfortunatley i am way stronger now. This 'match' ended with him on the floor spraining his back and me getting murderous looks from my mum. Luckily by evening injuries were forgotten and he and me went to pick up my other mamu(mamu 2) from the station. A bit of backgroound here. mamu 1 and mamu 2 each have 2 kids. And in both the cases the age difference between the siblings is 6 years. Like with me and my sis ! freaky huh ?! Anyways mamu 1 has 2 sons while mamu 2 has an son and a a younger daughter. Both are my favourite out of all. So by now we were 13 people in a house marketted for 4 people !
26th:: There was a big commotion in the morning as were to leave for nasik. And having just 2 bathrooms and 13 people waiting certainly DID NOT help !! Anyways sommohow we all got ready trooped into a tata winger and with a prayer on our lips we were off! The Journey was fun. Thanks to our amazing driver who could give schumacher a run for his money !! He didnt let the dpeedometer needle drop below 80kmph mark ! My aunts were too busy covering their eyes to enjoy the scenery ! we reached nasik and checked into some 4 star hotel. My sister and my cousins had the run of the hotel and were busy exploring the whole day while i enjoyed the hotel to the fullest (Read:Room service !)
Around evening i was on the phone with a friend when my sister comes running to me saying that a). They have a gym here b) they are conducting sort of a kicking competition..... without waiting for me to say anything she literally dragged me to the gym and there i see these few people kicking around a punching bag.... She takes me to the circle and says that i wanna have a go.... For a moment i didnt know wha to do then recalling techniques from the days when i used to do karate i give my best "Moeshe-giri" (side kick)... once... twice..thrice... ten times i kick with full force until there is a den tin the bag and my feet are bright red .... I turn around expecting the 'judges' to say something and i instead it turns out they they are just a bunch of people staying at the hotel and were just having a private competition to see who could kick best (they all were too ex karate chaps). My sister must have overheard them. Enraged i chase through the hotel's 3 floors baying for her blood. During dinner time the excellent food calms me down and she survives :P
27th:: We go sai baba's memorial temple where we see the worse side of human nature with people pushing,clawing,stamping,punching and doing god knws what not in the queue to get inside (Even ladies are not spared this treatment)... From there to some 'shani devta temple'.... went back late exhausted and fall asleep like a log....
28th:: Next day ONCE AGAIN (GRRRR...) we go to some temple but witha difference... The queue here is 3 KM long !!!! By the time we got inside i had a bad sunburn which turned me bright red for half the day evocking strange looks from people...
P.S had masala papad for the first time.... Man its YUMMY !
29th:: In afternoon we left for bombay ... Had a nice journey ( courtesy again our super fast adrenalin pumping driver) barring the horrendous traffic jams.... Reached at like 11.30 and we all fall asleep dead tired...
30th :: Me , mamu 1 , his elder son - aditya, mamu 2 , his wife, their kids(Vidushi and Vedant) go to various places like gateway of india and the Taj hotel (we all tsk-ed tsk-ed in sympathy over the damage and the attacks). From there we go to ajanta caves. Those caves are bloody marvellous !! I mean so friggin' UNREAL ! hats off to the people who made 'em. The monkeys there are a reaal pain in the ass... We saw a family ruefully watching a family of monkeys who had snatched their food....
P.S a pair of foreigners ladies were having a fag right in front of a sign where it said no smooking... What the hell is wrong with them ?? Bitches...
31th: In the morning my chachu (dads younger brother) sent a car to pick me and my sis up because we had to go meet him. We both reached there ,met with our cousin (man she's grown up to be pretty !) Er... for the sake of your understanding a bit of flashback to november 29th.. Its my sisters birthday and she gets a call from my chachu asking her what she wants as her birthday gift , now since we always have a fight regarding who gets to use my PC she very innocently says " A computer". So when we land up at his house he declares he is taking us to buy her birthday present. So we go to a Dell store and start hunting for a good PC. When the dust clears my 13 year old sister, who uses computers just to play games, is the proud owner of a Dell PC with following specs -
~ Intel core 2 Quad processor Q9300 (2.50 Ghz, 6MB L2 cache !!)
~ Vista Home premium (64 bit)
~ 21.5 inch full HD TFT screen !
~ 4 GB DDR 3 ( 1066Mhz) RAM
~ 500 GB Hard Disk
~ Dual drives both both capable of DVD RD/WRT + Blu ray reading capapbility !!
~ Wireless Key board and mouse
~ Integrated 7.1 Audio card aong with Stereo speakers with subwoofer
~ AAnnnnddddd...... a ATI Radeon 3650 (256 Mb)..... !!!!
On the way back i kept wondering whether i should submit this as the joke of the millenium. A 13 year old gamer gets a quad core pc as a gift ??!!! But on the bright side i get to share with my sis so that means i can too use the damn mini super computer ! YES ! Anyways in the night I along with my mums family go to a new years party. I nearly got thrown out of there too when i showed the middle finger to this drunk girl who was er.. 'flirting' a bit on the physical side (if you get what i mean..).... Came back home filled to the ears with food and go to sleep dreaming of er...lets leave that out shall we !
1st:: When my eyes open my heads paining like shit and a thought pops into my head as to whether my sisters PC present was just a dream or what. Just then i overhear my cousin brother discussing with my sis about the PC and i wake up ecstatic and during the course of the day my family satarts wondering whether i have fever or sometihng cuz they've never seen me so happy they say. Smart alecs. ha.
Anyways in the evening all cousins ,me, my sis and both my mamis troop off to the mall mearby called the 'Oberoi Mall'. My aunt drags me off to lifestyle or some store like that to buy some clothes for me (In other words the dreaded "S" word..... SHOPPING.... Nooooo.... wwwaaahhhhh). That traumatic experience apart i had fun there. Met some really cute females too.
P.S At theres a game arcadet there called 'fun city'. I wanted to try my hand at the hammer smaashing thingy above and told my mami. The muscle bound jack ass in orange shirt sniggered to the female friends he was with making some dumb joke that i couldnt even lift the hammer or sometihng. Unfortunately, for him, i got a high score which wiped the smirk from his face . :P
2nd:: Well my sisters school opens on 4th so we had to leave. In evening we caught the Dadar express. Our co passengers ( or berth mates for lack of a better word) turned out to be a old couple. The husband was a eccentric old chap. He provided the entertainment when the journey got too boring !
3rd:: We reach chennai's egmore station at 8'oclock delayed by an hour. My dads picks us up. And just then my sister has the bright idea for a movie. Now we knoew it would be pointless to go to satyam as it would be full for all movies so instead we went to Ega. We got the tickets for 'Ghajini'. We come out at 1.30. On the drive back my dad and mum discuss the movie , in apparent awe over aamir's physique anda acting. Me ?? I think its a good movie but a bit too over -hyped. We reach home at 3 in the morning,
4th:: Wake up at 6 and get ready becasue i am going to pondy with 2 friends from college. We went in a tata sumo. Had fun on the trip with all dumb jokes. In pondy we went to a temple a (where i got blessed by a really adorable elephant named 'lakshmi' !), went to aurobindo gosh ashram and overall had a BLAST. I returned home dead exhausted and went to bed determined to spend the rest of the week sleeping !
Thats lakshmi !
