Random updates. Some boring, some weird, some good! :)
1 The alien party
No matter how much I love my mom, I guess, she is the only person in this whole world who gets me cribbing and bitching all the more about her. Considering her constant nagging requests to attend a party in some village where supposedly my grandparents live, I could no longer evade her but had to accede to what she wanted me to do. So, I, my sister and my dad went to attend this ultra-alien party where we didn’t frigging know anybody. (My mom is so lucky that she fell ill on the very same day. Hence, she preferred staying back home). It was such an embarrassing situation I landed myself in, that the only thing I could do was get my eyes focused on my cell phone and pretend as if I was busy doing something, rather than just smiling at everyone. As time passed by, a supposedly concerned-host’s-son found me all alone and bothered to share a few thoughts with me. Sigh. That wasn’t of any relief either. He and his friends were talking in some local lingua-franca which I had no clue about. Eventually, I ended up sitting between them in a somewhat round-table-thingy. I was so fucking bored of their next-door-girl-crush-talks that I started fidgeting with my cell phone again.
Now, I getting embarrassed on that night was far from getting over so soon. Dinner time had already come and the host supposedly asked his son to serve the food standing behind the counter with his friends. So, considering the fact I became friends with the son already, I had to oblige him. He was shameless too. He infact asked me to help him too. Sigh. Who does that? I went there thinking I’ll hog and make an escapade as soon as possible. But that was far from happening. I realized I was in such a mess that I had to convey my fucked up feelings to my sister who too was sitting far off with some female species, messed up in virtually the same situation I was in. We somehow did manage to come out of the party and the first thing I did reaching home was fall on my mom’s feet asking her to never banter me to go to a party which was solely concerned with people I had no clue about. One pathetic night for me indeed!
2 The return journey--Howrah to Dehradun. Doon Express again. Sigh!
I was sure of encountering roaches and stupid mind-fucked bong people again. Roaches I did, but thankfully, my compartment was devoid of bongs. I had nothing to read so I knew it was going to be a difficult 36 hours of train journey again. It wasn't that much of an adventure anyways. I came across a couple of same-aged guys so that kept me busy talking and contemplating on our lives. There was this girl, my age, not-so-good-looking, dressed in a salwar reading some novel. I didn't really bother disturbing her. She did not even look at me once. Heights of introvertness or whatever tis called! On the opposite berth, there was this man with her daughter who so resembled a maid-servant I had like 4 years back. I almost puked seeing her hands with hirsute projections. They both seemed so fucking confused and lazy that they actually put their luggage below the berth after almost an hour. I politely extended my help to the man. But he was like "Not now. Maybe laters". I was like "Huh". I sometimes dont understand people at all.
After that one night, passenges kept on boarding and leaving the compartment I was in. I met a lot of people the next day. One guy kept on telling me his stories of engineering and how he wasn't able to materialize his plan of setting up a company or something. I could only help nodding to whatever he said. He then kept on discouraging me how I shouldn't think big or aim high in my life. I was so bored of his pessimism and negative thoughts that I started yawning in front of him.
The girl eventually broke her silence the next day. She started talking to some guy about me. OMG! I was wondering how she knew so much about me. I came to know, she was influenced way too much by my thoughts and how I wanted to excel in my life. I realized she was listening to every single crap I was talking with some one the previous night. Sigh!
I'd rather say, it was a confusing journey this time around. The only thing I was happy about was the fact that I reached well on time. Thankfully. Phew!
3 Maharaj-ji
Okay, have you ever heard of some saint or someone who would smoke between pujas? He did. He thinks smoking keeps his mind open. WTF! He infact prefers cigarette packs rather than money or other guru-dakshina's. He is a some clairvoyantic seer who can actually foretell while he is sleeping. I met him this time while I was back home. He stayed with my family for 2 fucking days. Every time I saw him smoking, I so felt askin for a fag or two. My parents believe in him more than they do in me I guess. Weird!
4 trip
During the 4 years of my engineering, I am finally going on a much-needed industrial cum pleasure trip to Goa, Pune, Mumbai and Shirdhi from the 30th of Dec to the 11th of Jan. I am looking forward to it. I need to get back in terms with someone on the trip. It is something like I actually e-mailed my feelings to that particular someone like long back. I told her how much I liked her. I was so afraid of telling her face to face. Ever since then, things haven't been the same. So yeah, I just hope , I get things cleared out now.
5 Wacko meeting Maddy Candy (Damn. I forgot to click pictures)
Okay, this is something interesting that finally happened to me. I finally met a blogger friend for real. It doesnt usually rain in Calcutta at this point of the season. But, it rained that day. It was so cool a weather to hang out. I decided to meet her all of a sudden. I was out for some work and when I was all done with it, I called her. She sounds sexay. We planned everything and decided to meet up at a metro station. I had seen her pic on orkut so I knew the only feature in her I could figure out was her hair :P
I arrived well before time. I waited for about 10 mins looking everywhere around and there she was, tryin to get her fucked up umbrella all in place, walking towards the ticket counter, looking all so lost. I recognised her at that very instance. I looked at her. She looked back. I guess she didnt actually recognise me though. I looked again and waved or something. Okay, I dont remember the details. My memory sucks big time. Yeah, so we did kind of realize after a few seconds. I asked her if we could go out or something. She was ready for it. Yeah! :D
It was a good day indeed for me. I was so stressed out since the past few days that I so needed someone to hangout with. I just realized I didnt even shave. My hair wasnt even spiked. Sheesh. Anyways, we walked out of the station. It was drizzling. We decided we'd rather walk to some place where in we could spend some time. So, yeah we talked and walked and talked. By the time, we reached Barista, both of us were wet. We entered in. After some contemplations on the menu, I finally ordered two vegetable calzones. I didnt know what that is. I still dont know what that was. I am still confused about it. But, it tasted good.
I ate. She hogged (Okay sorry mads, I could see you hogging. Hehe). She said she wasnt hungry at all, but I bet if I had ordered one more, she would have eaten that too. After we were done, we left soon because I was already shivering by then. We walked all the way back to the station, passing by her home and office. She was right there with me till I had to board the train back again. We parted eventually. I am sure I have found a life long friend in her. She is so sweet and polite. She cares a lot about her friends. I bet I haven't met anyone as down to earth as she is. It never felt, we didnt know each other before this meet. I felt, she kind of understood me pretty well. She still does. Her hair is not all that scary as I thought it is. She also carried herself pretty well. I am sure, I am not gettin bored in Calcutta anymore whenever I come back again now. Cheers to our friendship mads!
Ciao.
