No one to match till date,
He respires after I say, "Ate"..
Runs around all day to gather life,
Sits at the end of day to pen about his future wife..
We fight on most and don have a single thing in common,
Yet the band revolves around us like that on saturn..
Isn't easy for us to get along nor part,
We love each other a lot..
He is my dad and son,
I m his sis and mom..

I simply said Auuuuuussssssssooooommmmmmmmmmmmm.........!!!!!!!!!! :)
A Perfect start to a saturday - Power cut..!!!!!!!!
OK, before moving on to the actual story, a small preface.. Parents had come down for a weekend to Bangalore.. For Dad it was a long weekend surprisingly and for mom, bored of CBE she said.. Well, I would never say that.. Grass is greener on the other side always..
Dad,,,, is an extreeeeeeeeeeemely busy person.. As a lawyer, he handles multiple things in a day except FAMILY and he never gets reminded of such a thing until someone mentions. Not that he has lesser concern towards us, but he just doesn't have time for anything.. Till I completed school, he never had in his mind which class i was doing and in college, which year or sem I was in.. Me or mom, never took him seriously that way, after all we are supposed to understand him and his profession.. :) :)
Mom - a home maker - busier than Dad - in taking care of me.. :) For her, its all about me an Dad.. She had always wanted to be with me in banglore, but wouldn't leave Dad alone.. Her greatest tension in life is to balance her time between me and dad.. No IIMs could match her in that.. ;) :) [No offence my dear IIM friends]
Me, an only [rather lonely] child of my sweet parents, always wondering about the fact "why don't i have any siblings???".. Quite silly, that even after completing my 23rd year, I keep asking them , why don't i have an elder or younger brother [En kashtam enku :-( ] they show great amount of patience in answering this question of mine.
when I was in School, the answer was: Nanga than pa, unku ellam.. Me: Sigh...!!!!!!!
when I was in coll, it was: U have so many good friends na.. Avangala ellam anna va nenachukko.. Me: As if I don know that.. :P
Now: Nanga try panninom, workout agala.. Wat to do.. Me: Ada pongappa... :(
The Preface would have more or less made it clear why I was so excited about them being in Bangalore with me for 2 whole days..!!!! :)
From now on, if i mention "We" its me and Dad, as we think and do the same, infront of Mom..!! And "They" stands for Mom and Dad, as i m a Partial Blrean now (I assume) and got to explain things they see here..
Now back again: A Perfect start to a saturday - Power cut..!!!!!!!!
Me, mom and Dad never woke up before 8 in the morning, a tradition that we've been following since the days I remember...
I love and enjoy those 'early' morning moments when me and dad brush through the newspaper [before brushing ofcourse :) ], mom brings coffee and sits along with us.. That is how our day is supposed to begin and continue till 9 am.. Places are no constraints, Was the same in Blr too.. :)
Lethargy was putting us to sleep almost, when mom suddenly screamed, "Heeyyyyyyyyyyyy, Wake up u lazy bugs.. Take me out somewhere, don shut me inside four doors and make me cook here also.. U have the best times in life without me in ur respective places and when it comes to me, u people are tired.. Wake up... Wake up..!!!" We were like, "OK, OK, relax.."
Me: Dad, u first go take bath, I'll be ready to go next..
Dad: Noo, U go no.. Pls.. I'll take very less time actually..
Mom: Ushoooooooooooooooooo...........!!!!
Me and dad went inside 2 bathrooms and shut the doors unable to bear the heat in her words.. :)
Finally, We had our Brunch and were ready by 1 pm.. ;) Mom was furious.. :)
Bus was an unknown means of Commutation for me since i came to Blr, but that day i was in a mood to try out all the unexplored.
A bus to Majestic.. From there, to Chikpet for Saree shopping was the plan..
I don't understand why, but mom got excited on seeing everything in blr.. The bus journey was no exception for her.. :)
We got dropped near Chikpet, walked for a considerable distance when we encountered Kamath hotel [For Non-blreans, Known for simple authentic Karnataka food]. "Coffee, coffee", me and Dad animated.. Mom,"Ada pavingala, i thought u just had lunch". Dad, "There's always space for coffee, especially Blr coffee.." We are coffee addicts u know, except mom.. she hates it..
After an awesome coffee in that crowded place, we resumed our walk.. "Juice, Juice", this was mom's turn.. We had to say OK this time, but why don't we also try.. All 3 of us had juice.. [Note the point that this was just 10 mins after the coffee (cha, Dad's lingo stuck on to me also.. :( )]. Mom din like much of the stuff and picked very few things.. Ok Fine, lets get out of this place we thought, until we saw a small Dookan selling Vada paavs.. They din't understand what these meant, while i took the privilege of explaining, that it was nothing more than a Vada kept inside a bun.. (Namma oorla apdi than sollvanga, I added on..) Mom just took the vada alone, whereas me and dad relished the whole thing.. We liked it too.. :) It was 4 in the evening and was FastFood time.. Started hunting for Pani poori stalls, found one, had enough and moved to the bus stand.
Straight back to my place, but before that Mom wanted to go to Perumal Kovil[Saturday, u see].. Perumal Kovil also done and they spotted one more petty shop selling vadas.. Goddamn, I've been here for more than 2 yrs, i've never ever seen these things.. It started raining, typical Blr weather and Dad started cursing it.. We had stopped for sometime coz of the rain, when Dad kept staring at the Sky.. Mom, "Wat now..??", Dad, "I am staring at Varuna Bhagavan.. He doesn't know abt me.. He ought to stop now". Mom, "Ada Raaama, Unable to bear these days..!!". Me couldn't stop laughing. Next, "Rest", We wanted to say, but mom wouldn't allow, hence started our expedition on MG Road. Right from Trinity Cirlce, crossing Raheja towers, Blore central and Karnataka Silk Emporium, we reached the Brigade road signal. In that evening breeze and drizzling climate, it was certainly "A Walk to Remember". We (this time, me, mom and dad) are always the best friends and could chat on anything and everything, and Blore climate added on to the awesomeness...!!!! After the Brigade road junction, me started buying all the Oosi paasi ornament stuff, Dad was looking for the best coffeee place and mom wanted to see if they sell old age coins(She's a numismatist, whereas we know only to spend ;)).. Finally we met at India Coffee house (It had got shifted to Church Street).. Authentic Karnataka Masala dosa was new to them and the old age ambience and menu surprised them even more.. With the taste still lingering on our tongues, we commenced the walk again. This time a lil tired, the walk wasn't that enjoyable but we dragged on and desperately wanted to hit the bed, which we did in another half an hour..
Sunday..!! :) :( - Mixed emotions for me early morning.. Happy that i m gonna have another nice day and sad that it was just one day..
Again with morning coffee and newspaper, got ready by 1 pm after the usual weekend brunch. :)
Started with shopping Malls, Blore Central first.. Dad wanted a shirt, but he disliked everything very soon and moved on to the Cafe day leaving me and mom in the Women's section. Kurtas were good but somehow we felt that the collection was less, mom picked up a shirt for me and we left.. Next, Garuda Mall, this time straight to the Cafe day behind. Mom initiated a small family topic which clung on to another, i got pissed off, dad tried to convince and finally led to a conflict.. The heat in the argument made people turn towards us, which we realised lately.. Thank God, hunger interrupted and we moved to Food court.. The crowded food court din give us a chance to get back to the argument (Happy Me..!! :)).. All roaming and no buying makes the shopping even more exciting.. But Westside was an exception and our target was the household items section. "Time to leave Garuda Mall, purse is getting lighter and lighter!!!", Dad was thinking, when i reminded mom of the Arts and Crafts exhibition next to Raheja towers.
Pochu da.. Another Shopping spree there with Oosi paasi, household items and wat not..... :) :) Dad, :( :( ..
"Appa, hungry..?? There's Adigas closeby"
"Hmmmkummmm, enku coffee podhum pa...."
"We don want anything!!" [Y would we need..??? :P :)]
So thus ended the happy Sunday, not forgetting to mention about the DBC at Corner house.. :)
The next day, Dad returned back to his schedule leaving the comfort of mom with me for few days..!! Me back to my own routine but with Mom.. Thats really nice...
Not a great happening time, but certain moments neeed to be cherished... Those 2 days wre like that for me..!! I simply said, "Auuuuuussssssssssommmmmmmmm" !!!!!!!!
P.S.: Sometime back, I remember one of my friends mentioning that Blogspot has become more or less like a personal diary.. Yea, true to an extent and thats wat i have did above too... Maybe, I din want to associate the characters above to anyone or anything else, the only justification I m able to give for the complaint.. :)
