And the homecomning continues…..

November 3rd, 2007

Yawn….aaaa….and some more yawn and this time it is a big one, huh! Well well….this is what i do the whole day, i mean most of the day when I am not out with friends or doing window shopping.There are some serious side effects of the long break one takes specially if they are at mom’s place and one of them is sitting idle, literally idle!


After I quit the office and came to Ghaziabad on long vacation, my mind has actually stopped working or rather I don’t even bother to push my mind to an extent where I can do some wishful thinking.Some more Yawning while putting this piece together.Arrey koi mujhe batayega ki yahan se smiley kahan chale gaye? Ab mera blog colorful kaise hoga huh!Yaar Waise this is not fair with me, if I was absent from the blogs that doesn’t mean that smileys hi gayab ho jayenage, hadd ho gayi ab toh…….kahan dhoodho main, any ways chaddo pare!! Coming back to the vacations, yes I am on long vacation, ok not that long, I mean I will be back to Bangalore on 24th November but then yes I landed here on 14th October.


Since then what have I done, nothing literally nothing except fighting with mummy or hubby, no in both the cases they only fight with me. I am a peaceloving girl, ok ok woman…..i don’t fight.Or suno fight kis baat ki hai……….saree pahno………nahin pls nahin.How it goes? The first day when I entered the home, ma was pleasantly surprised and the first thing I was told to change, phew! Boy, I was coming non stop from bangalore to give them surprise and what happens to me - instruction to change clothes.I was in Jeans and Kurta, no bindi at all (thank God sindoor thaa, gold bangles bhi pehne the…..).


As I was changing, this started - “Sun, choori bhi pahan lena.”


‘Kya?’


‘Haan, achha nahin lagta aise khali haath.’


‘Par mummy, khaali kahan hai, yeh sone ki choodi hai na haath mein.’


‘Nahin Beta, kaanch ki toh honi hi chaiye or bindi laga lena jo dikhe or haan main kal payal bhi nikaal doongi pahan lena.’


“Mummy main dadi ke teherwi mein aayi hoon naki fashion show mein, mujhe dekhne nahin aayenge log, sab shok vykat karne aayenege! Please aap aisa nahin toh kar sakti na”


“Arrey nahin aisa nahin hota beta, sab dekhte hain or tu pehli baar aayi hai maayeke mein shaadi ke baad, sab aise dekhenge toh kya sochenge?”


By this time i was drained and had given up and all decked up I sat there. The first thing that I messaged Raj was I am coming back, this is jail! He started pacifying me. Poor Chap! Day 2, Day 3, Day 4 & 5 I was all dressed up in the saree for the whole day which meant 9 to 9 ki duty in saree and on top of that, I was running upstairs and downstairs….It was too much and in so less a time.I don’t know but MIL wud have been thinking how did I manage to do all this, even I don’t know.Hats off to those who wear saree daily without panic and do wonders with the pallu and pleats, kudos to them……no laughing matter!!!!!!!


 


I thought it will end here.The best part is coming now. My mum wanted to buy slippers for herself, and she told me to come to her school.I said yes without thinking what lay ahead of me! Morning 7 a.m., scene set - ma in kitchen and i am lazing around, brushing and all. “Tu school aa jana, wahan se chalenege”


“Theek hai, kitne baje?”


“1:30 baje” I thought the end but the worse was coming my way.


“Saree pahan lena”


“Mummy, hum ghar se chalenge, aap aa jana phir chalenege”


“Nahin tu saree pahan ke hi aa jana”


“Mummy main nahin aaongi aapke school”


“Nahin beta, sab milenege toh kya sochenge?”(Yaar pata nahin log itna kyun sochte hai, huh! or sab mere hi baare mnein kyun sochenge woh bhi ek saath, ek hi time par, kya timing hai?)


“Mummy, plsssssssssssssssssssssssssss”


“Tu aaj saaree, kal suit or parson jeans mein aa jana”


“Hum teen din tak chappal lene jayenge?”(Funny!)


“Arrey nahin, kal tu dekh lena kaisi taiyari chal rahi hai diwali mele ki or parson tu meri jagah stall mein duty de aana!(Why I came on chutti? I know to give duty on stall or woh bhi chaat ka!)


“Nahin mummy hum ghar se chalenge, manin nahin aa rahi aapke school, jis auntyji ne mujhe dekhna hai bolo ghar aayengi ticket laga hai tabhi milloongi main”


“Tu meri payri beti hai”(Emotions, uff yeh emotions!)


“Papa” -  he is nowhere to be found, on such occassions he is always in toilet(I donno why so don’t ask)


“Acchha chal suit mein aa jana”(Note the tone in her voice)


“Pehle nahin kah sakti thee aap yeh, theek hai suit pahan kar aaongi main”, papa is back too! Truce finally.


Divyaji school pahunch gayi hain or bygod wahan toh diwali mele se pehle mela lag raha hai.Aayeeeeeeeeeeee Bittooooooooooo aayi hai……..(I am bittoo, heeeheeee) but I am still looking and searching for this voice……and soon I am surrounded, I am made to sit in the staff room and all work stops.Why? Arrey they are looking at me. What is my fault? Nothing……I guess I married an alien, huh! I looked around, almost everyone is looking at me including the kids who were there helping teachers in preparation.I use my usual tool,smile :) always ready with auntyji namaste. And then it started altogether,what else? Flurry of questions!!!!!!!!!


1)Mann lag gaya tera wahan par? - I am blank, kuch samajh nahin aa raha and then the reply - haan auntyji mann toh lagana padega(koi maine roj updown ke liye toh shaadi nahin kee thee, huh! and a smile)


2)Ghar mein sab kaise hain? - Ojee monkey jaise hain, I was about to say -but at the last moment i said- acchey hain auntyji sab badhiya hain one more smile.


3)Acchha tum kya roz idli sambhar khate ho? - I am still interpreting this one but i replied,”nahin auntyji roti bhi khate hain.” She was not convinced so pat came the reply,”par main khana toh yahi hai na?”; there was only one reply to this so that its all over -”Haan auntyji.” Auntyji was happy shappy.


4)Job toh karti hogi? - Haan auntyji and a smile.


5)paani acchha nahin hai wahan ka! - it was more of a statement.


We were ready to leave and came another exclamation from behind - ‘Haye yeh hi bitiya hai aapki?’ -(Nahin padosi ki hai ji). Actually woh shaadimein dekha tha na isiliye pehchaan nahin payi main, kaise ho beta?? The bestest - bitiya patli ho gayi(She is the best aunty in school and I love her for this!)………..some more of these kinds are there with the relatives which I will post in this series. I am also planning to post some ways to time pass (actually time pass) in vacation…………total vellagardi!


Abhi meri chai shai ka time ho gaya hai hence I will put a full stop here only…….hey guys whats the mystery behind the vanishing smileys, well it may be in my case only, please let me know………till the next post, happy reading and writing……….take care.
