home run
phew, i just completed my home run. and i tell u, its been nice and weird at the same time. i have been making noise about going home for almost 2 months.
the moment i sat on my airplane seat, suddenly it occured to me.. am i ready for India? am i ready for the constant noise, dust, people around me? unlike the very campus-y environment, with only friends around me.. was i gonna be greatly overwhelmed when i arrive? especially my senses.. i was scared.. the flight was boring, yet somehow malavika and vivek made it somewhat fun in between. there was no tv, and all my plans of dreaming about the drinks am gonna have in flight were shattered, as the cheap indian airlines only had fanta, jumpin pineapple juice and kingfisher lager beer, i dunno why, i asked for beer.. then i realised, am gonna smell of beer, which might get me killed when i land. i landed at about 5:15. came out of the airport, saw my mom, dad and aunt. IT WAS AWESOME beyond explanation.
after sittin in the car, i began to realise, everything was so dusty.. haha, the effect of staying in the neatest of all, singapore for 10 months. i was overwhelmed. but somehow i didnt see any changes around. it did feel like that i just wen a week ago. ppl looked the same, everything looked as i left it 10 months ago. i reached home quite late after a pit stop at my factory where dad had urgent work. i met my grandma when i entered my house, followed by my cousins and sister, and my doggie!! my aunt (dad's sis) was there already too. I FELT HOME. i had been dying to have this feeling for ages. i almost cried for it!
about my doggie, pepper is the best, and somehow when he came to me, and i picked him up, i saw my family staring at me, they always knew i kinda disliked dogs, and was scared of them, so they expected the opposite reaction. but thanks to twinkle, i love the canine family! ahh.. such creatures.. i keep calling pepper twinkle.. oh i miss her.. my black lab retriever is really naughty, he loves to bite and lick and lie on his back when patted. he is a dog i tell u!
then came the most boring part, my mom kept calling people on phone and handing me the reciever, and i had to make the same conversations with everyone. i wud rather meet the person face to face. on phone, its really a bore. almost to the extent that i start mumbling, and complaining of being so friggin tired and what not.. i had my first dinner of shahi paneer, dal makhani, butter chicken and nice hot garam chapatis, which just tasted out of the world.. i hogged and hogged until i almost collapsed.. it was sinful.. i gave everyone in my family the presents i brought for them. they all loved it. my mom gave me her room for the time being, my folks shifting to my sis's room haha.. now i have an ipod, laptop, tv, everything i want in a room, am lazing beyond words can explain. am sleeping almost the whole day. all i did on saturday was get a haircut (much to my mother's relief, who hated my new hair do!)and i went for this wedding reception at night somehwre really far, outskirts of delhi, but i got to meet a lot of relatives at one place, i danced like mad, got all the fucking attention i cud get, and some compliments too, on my new improved look, and my bhangra! lol.. i bhangra-ed after ages, it was a blast.. the food was great, and it was basicaly a nice party. just that the groom was a it insane! he stopped the music in between! wierdo!
i woke up today at noon, and started on tv, this new comedy show on star one, had its marathon, all old episodes screened in one day.. mother's day special.. i tell u, this was by far the funniest indian comedy series in a long long time. i laughed and laughed until some 6:30, after which i took a nice shower, and got ready. had some guests over, my aunt with her baby, whom i saw for the second time, the first time when i came here 10 months ago.. i played with her for long. i love babies, am sure u all know that! she was sooo cute!! ordered food for deliever, cream chicken with pudina parantha. m a satisfied creature right now.
so over all been a lovely 2 days, with bits of everything.. people, sleep,catching up with friends on phone, good food, all i need is some shopping for new clothes..
my dance classes start tomoro. must shop before that. hope i have some fun there too!! more coming later..
