Ahh a b-e-a-u-t-i-f-u-l Monday! :) (and no I am not drunk right now!! there is not even a drop of alcohol in me and hasn't been for the past 36 hours now... so no I am not even hungover!!)
Ok so it was a slow start with me turning off the alarm for the n'th time and then suddenly realizing that 'Oh Shit! My maid is on chutti!!' (that directly means I am suppossed to listen to my alarm and not wait for the doorbell! ;) ) It was 10:05 and I had a meeting at 11!! And I somehow insisted on having a bath and on breakfast as well! The feat was managed in 25 minutes flat and as I ran down the stairs it struck me "I had a flat tyre last night! I need to get the hawa checked!!!" Lo n behold this is the day that there's line for Hawa and not Petrol! Call up boss, "I had a flat tyre (conveniently skip the last night part)... I will be half hour late!" :D
Languidly walk into office to discover that 5 people have been waiting on you for a meeting to start! Now doesn't that feel 'important'! :D (yeah yeah.. Cheap thrills!) 1 meeting.. 2 meeting.. (stop wondering where's the good part!) and then I rush out of office to enjoy a nice subway and get the tyre done at the Ceat Shoppe closeby. (Yup.. paranoid about driving without a stepney!) Now to cut a long story short, I need to buy a new tyre! But what the heck.. here's the long story as well... ;) When the 'new' car was coming from Baroda to namma Bengaluru then dad had had a flat tyre which was quite bad and so it already had a patch in it. This tyre was designated to be used as a stepney. However when I had a tyre wobbling problem (a few months ago!!) the stupid maruti guy changed tyres without telling me. And so I had been driving on the patch wala tyre. Hence now the need for a new tyre. Added to that is the fact that its a JK tyre and the dealer is only on JC road!! (I take heart that since I will finally be there I'll get my car stickers done as well!)
And I still insist that it's a beautiful bright sunshiny Monday and I am NOT under the influence of alcohol!! Go ahead... read on!
In conversation with a friend sometime later in the evening...
mightyrudh: and you know on the best part of the trip! i was riding with jeet (yup... the darkling of my life! Amd yup MightyRudh is male!)
I copy paste this piece to Granpa who is also on GTalk..
Granpa (out of his sheer love and possessiveness for the man in my life!): kaun hai yeh dusht??
Ani: ~ question: does he use a female deo which has in it the pheromones to attract men?!!
Granpa: err.... hmm... aah...
Granpa: in the larger interest of people involved in this complex situation, i choose not to react!
(ok disclaimer... the man in my life is not gay! it's just that he attracts a lot of men!! In a way... so long as its just men and guitars! ;) )
Meanwhile my roomie's status is reading: "Life is Beautiful" complete with a smiley!! So obviously my questions are:
1. Did you get another job?
2. Are you getting married?
3. Did you hack a rich guy's bank account!! :D
In another window I have Mr. You. Know. Who getting romantic and I am rapidly blinking and staring at the screen when he finally types, "Motee fainted!" and I breathe a sigh of relief!!! (go ahead! blame me!) :P
Ahh well! Cut to a scene where I have managed to leave office before midnight and run off to bhai's place! Talk about being pampered it was like being spoilt to the core! Garma garam dosa's with special dosa chutney (compliments to Fazzy Bhaiya!!!)... crowning glory is a special egg dosa... accompaniments of aam ka murabba and mirchi ka achaar!!! (Ab koi thaka hara office se aaye aur garma garam ghar ka khana special parosa hua diya jaaye... to ye jannat se kam thode hi hai!) :)))) Idle banter and games on a newly acquired XBOX! Thodi der baad it was striking 12 and cinderella thought it was time to be home! Now it's a ritual that Bhai walks me to my safe haven and then I drive off! Is baar gaadi tak pahunchte pahunchte...
Ani: 'Pastry khaane chale?'
Bhai: 'kahan?? Leela's leke jayegi tu to!'
(don't look at me like I fell on this earth with a load of ancestral money to squander! The Leela's happens to have a nice li'l Barrista in it! ;) )
Ani: 'abhi to vohi khula hoga!'
Bhai: mmm.... hmmm....
Ani (on the phone with Fazzy Bhaiya by then): 'jaldi se aa jao.. ekdum abhi aao... ghar band karo aur aao'
Bhai: 'arrey kya kar rahi hai?? mera chashma toota hai.. maine topi bhi nahi pehni hai.. Leela's jaana hai! main aata hun!' (ahem! ahem!)
(by such time Fazzy bhaiya in a state of complete panic has arrived by the car in his lungi and is graciously told... chalo baitho.. Leela's chale!)
Ani: ~mischevious grin!
Fazzy bhaiya: 'arrey bas do minute lagenge kapde badalne me.. bas do min!'
The 2 men go off.. take 10 minutes instead of 2 and the transformation is evident! From lungi to mast shirt n torusers... from toota chasma to skull cap and casual sandals! Tashan!!
Ahh well! It's a night full of chocolate with choc excess, dark temptation and wicked brownies!!! Lots of conversation... some guitar strumming... and a nice drive back home with Bhai and then Fazzy bhai in the drivers seat trying to figure out a way to connect to my li'l Jonga's engine! :)
Now tell me.. isn't that a beautiful Monday!! :)))
(Its an ethereal experience to have a great Monday... I needed to narrate this in the first person! :D )
