Hanuman Prasad..

Ah..What a Sunday….woke up at 2pm.!! I think it’s my first blog which I am writing so early after waking up barely hours ago…never mind sometimes its nice to break your own records. Motivation to write..Wonderful sunny day backed by wonderful last evening.
Usually I like to spend weekend at home and that too when you work 5 days a week you look forward to have some rest. But umesh and nirav were back from India with bagful of Indian mithai and numerous humorous stories in there bellies. Neel presence always add more fuel to fire and there presence always attract me to travel to there city. But it’s a one hour bus ride from my town and as its weekend you dont find anyone to give you the ride in car. So was bit hesitant to travel by bus. So initial plan was to call them to my place and enjoy. But destiny had some other calculations. Luckily they came to my city but due to communal puja back in boras they decided to go back immediately. So I was accommodated in car by breaking traffic rules…but as Indian, laws was always meant to be broken …but once in the car the atmosphere was filled with jokes, leg pulling and laughter. Hardly anyone ever realized about an hour journey nor of possible police fines in overloaded car.

Once in temple it was nice to have some communal prayers in temple after long time. Really enjoyed Hanuman challisa !!!

So after all sort of prayers it was time for real business..and I can bet all four had nothing in mind other than delicious idly waiting to be served. Once the green signal was given we just went on it like the crowd went in Mumbai on New Year awe on those two helpless NRI girls. Ofcouse our motive was quite different than those!! Enjoying delicious idly and sambhar, I turned up my eye on my friends and it seemed that they were having there last meal of life. When you come to that kind of communal get togethers you can always expect that from youngesters but the guys like us not only fill our stomach to neck but also make sure that extra food is packed nicely to take away home..lol…

After dinner it was time to participate in some funny games and was lucky to won 200 krones in game. Thanks hanuman ji…for extra Prasad!!

Then we went to my friends place and have loads fun till late night. Surely missed Ninand and Ruchir presence on these occasions. I was not in mood to come back. But the show must come to end. Really have loads of fun after long tiring week.
As I write this blog my mind smells the Kaju barfi which I got from umesh. You enjoy this one while I enjoy my part. 

While I await New Year.....

Lots of New Year love to whomsoever is reading this! All the nice wishes and all sorts of wonderful things to you!!
And now that all the love is done with, here is contempt.

I had been hibernating for a while, did not feel like writing any since long. Had lots of random thoughts, vague feelings, strong emotions, futile tensions, unconnected chain of thoughts in short. This mood swing began with call from my younger sister on 31st January informing me about the detoriating health of my father. Since then all negative thoughts engraved me and I started feeling restless.

And then it becomes a vicious circle, one thought leads to another and I end up exhausted and it kills the fun. Then I start thinking, why am I thinking so negative all about this when dad is yet to have undergone through check up? These thoughts forced me to have best possible permutations and combinations to bring result. After numerous ISD calls, finally me and sister, reached to the conclusion that she will rush home as soon as possible and take dad to CMC Vellore for best possible treatment.

It’s the only time I ever wish to have the power of Krishna to have multiple existence!!

So once dad was in CMC, now the turn was to wait eagerly for numerous reports and at the same time praying to get it all negative. I bet never in life time people pray and pay so much to get all negative results.
Screw that!!

While during those low days, all I need is to go read some Dilbert strips and try to back on being myself. While the doctors reported negative medical test one after another, my focus was back on reading some Dilbert and I think it is a very difficult job to deliver something so consistently insane all the times. Hats off to Scott adams for pulling it off for so long!!

Finally, the final medical report came yesterday and I am pretty relieved.
Phew!!

Nothing serious and it was just minor anemia and lung infection which can be treated without applying any rocket science. I think my dad has just got burnt off with work and all kind of mental tensions which he has to bear alone for past few months which began with untimely death of my grandfather and then my sister weeding. I hope that with change in environment and long vacation he will be back to business.
So, the Dilbert effects have also started showing result on me. I Know! I know! I am in an exuberant mood today and today is the rare day in this month when I am quite relaxed. Secondly the motivation to come back to my little space on web came from my well wisher on blog, Ruchir, Shilpi, Christel and many other friends. Sorry guys for keeping you wait for so long : .

Today its weekend and I am just in my mood and be myself and few Carlsberg. The beautiful songs of Enrique, Insommniac is making my eyes wet. Wonderful songs ..particularly “Miss you” and many other...As I write, effects of Carlsberg is gripping me and I think its enough with a promise to keep posting regularly from now on.

Last but not the least thanks to Keshavi di and Ravi for all timely help !!.

Have a nice weekend!!
