26 Jan 2011
Ok, this 26 Jan was different than how most of the holidays used to be in Bangalore! As this is my first holiday here (last weekend I went to Bhatinda, to meet my cousin, so was not at home – and that trip was a little adventurous in its own ways, so the weekend gone by was pretty exciting), I was a little scared thinking about what I will be doing here all day.
On 25th Jan, I slept at 10 PM, after drinking my glass of milk – I still don’t have internet here, so had nothing else to do. The only plan I had for this 26th Jan was to wash my clothes, get an internet connection and clean up and setup my new room. Also, I had planned to meet 2 of my school friends(Gagan and Bhatti) who are in Chandigarh, but that somehow did not materialize and is postponed to the weekend.
The day began rather early, considering a holiday, and much to my surprise and a little bit of anger. It was still 8:30, and it was cold, and I was in my blanket enjoying my sleep in the bed when suddenly I hear – “Dudh rakhiya hai gas te, garam kar ke pee layin! Assi ja rahe haan, roti bana ke rakh ditti hai teri .. dabe ‘ch payi hai, khaa layin!” Boom! What was that! Come on, it’s a holiday, and it is still 8:30, and why is everybody here so concerned about my food! I think I am a grown up, and I don’t need people constantly running after me telling me when to eat and what to eat :-/ On a normal holiday, I would have woken up around 11 AM, would have gone to the kitchen made something up for myself to eat/drink or get a packet of munches and lazed around for sometime before actually having food. But, it was not to be like this today!
Now, I was fully awake trying to find out what to do on a holiday! Then I decided, let me wash my clothes, and then have some food! So, the day started with washing clothes, then some food. Later in the day, around 2 PM to be precise, I was all but done with every task I thought I would do today – wash clothes, set up my room, contact Airtel for new Broadband connection. Cutting the long story short, I had the full day to myself now, for lazing around and sitting in the Sun!
The day ended at 9 PM, with the movie Se7en, and I was off to sleep! Ahh .. I forgot one thing, I went with my Grandmom in the evening to get milk from the neighborhood. All, in all it was a quite sedate 26th Jan – had I been in Delhi, probably I would have gone to watch the 26th Jan parade live for the first time, as my bro had passes for it :(
I think it will take me some time to adjust to my new schedule :) .. or rather I’ll try to not stick to this schedule, else it is going to be a boring life here in Mohali/Chandigarh!
P.S. – ‘Namma Bengaluru’ is next! I have to wait for the Internet connection at home to write that one. It is already drafted to a certain extent, on my laptop at home, just waiting for the internet connection to post it. Hopefully, I should have everything installed by this weekend, and I’ll be back online!
