Diary 158: Durga Puja Day 4

Diary 157: Durga Puja Day 3

Yesterday I slept at around 1:45 am. Today I woke up at around 8:45 am. I brushed my teeth, and ate my breakfast. My mom had to go to the puja pandal. So, I got ready. Also, I had to get the inverter to the shop. After dropping off my mom to the pandal, I went to the shop. The shopkeeper told me that the inverter is gone, and cannot be repaired. So, I consulted with my Dad and decided to buy a new one. After that I came back home, and got ready to go to the puja pandal again. At around 1 pm, I, bodomimi and my sister left for the puja pandal. There, we saw the "banglar bodhur" program. It was fun. Then, I decided to eat lunch, since I had to be at home for the inverter. I reached home just in time. The shop people came in ,and fitted the inverter. Then, everyone came in and also my cousin brother. He also lost weight in college. Then, I decided to go to gym as I missed it yesterday. I ran for around 11 minutes today ( 8 + 3). Then, I returned home, took a bath, and got ready to move. We hired an innova for our journey today. We went to Thane, Kalwa and visited the old home where my bodomama and bodomimi used to live. It was nostalgic. I captured those places in my SLR. We moved from pandal to pandal, ate fish chops etc. We moved to Vashi then, and ate a full fledged dinner - Lollipops, Chicken Rolls, Ice cream etc. I ate after a long time. I didn't like it that much, but I enjoyed the change. Later, we all headed home, and reached at around 12:00 am. Tired, we just let our bodies go. Some of us were awake till 2:30 am, and had a nice chit chat. I slept at around 2:45 am.

Diary 156: Durga Puja Day 2

Yesterday I slept at around 1:30 am. Today I woke up at around 10:00 am. I brushed my teeth, and had my usual breakfast. Fortunately, there was no load shedding today. We had plans to go to Dombivili and Thakurli to meet Bodomama's old friends. So, we all got ready for that. I took a bath too, and was ready to go. My dad wanted to drive the new car for the long ride so that he could test the performance of the car. So, we started the journey. It was fun. Listening to music, singing, and talking about childhood. Then, we reached Dombivali, where everyone seemed to remember my childhood. Initially, it was tough for me to identify them, but after looking at few of the old pictures, I recognized them. I loved it there. There was so much intimacy among them, it reminded me of those good old times, when we really laughed and smiled our worries away. When expectations didn't win the battle over tensions. Anyways, we had a good lunch, and even got a chance to take a power nap. We moved from one house to other, and visited two Puja pandals. I got a call from Rahul bajaj, who informed me that Himanshu Asnani's Dad had expired about 1 year ago. I was shocked to hear that. I informed my mom and dad too. I met many people from my past, and tried to remember the name "minti". Somehow, I remember that she was one of my friends during that time. But I am not so sure, and now it doesn't even matters. Finally, we left dombivali and moved towards kharghar. On the way, we met one of my father's contractor - Bhuvan, who arranged for our food etc. Bodomama was extremely hungry and hence he got his wish at last. We ate and then left for home. After some wrong turns and missed turns, we finally reached home. Today was a fantastic day. Also, my cousin brother - Broto is coming tomorrow. It seems that he is living the college life I never lived. I feel good for him. I wish I also had that life. But anyways, now I am happy and should be satisfied with what I got. Then, I wrote this post, and now I plan to sleep by 2:00 am. 

Diary 155: Bodomama Bodomimi Day

Yesterday I slept at around 3:00 am. Today I woke up at around 8:05 am. I realized that there is no electricity. I brushed my teeth, and was forced to have my breakfast early. Then, I figured out that the main switch was switched off by Dad and hence we never realized when the electricity was back. Then, I decided to take my AIMCAT. I started it around 10:10 am, and finished it at 12:30 pm. I scored low. I got only 81. I got 55 in 1st section, and only 26 in the second one. I need to improve my English somehow. Anyways, after that I left for a hair cut. I returned home, and had a bath. Then, the wait for bodomama and bodomimi started. They finally arrived at around 2:20 pm. Unfortunately the electricity was down again. So, we had to go down 14 floors using the staircase. I kept one of the heavier bags in our car, and brought the other bag through the staircase and that too without stopping even once. It was a great warm up exercise. Then, the whole day was a blast. We had lunch then. After that we all sat down together and had fun discussing different stuffs. At around 5 pm, I left for the gym. I ran on the treadmill again, but this time I increased the running time to 9 minutes. I didn't complete the quota of my full cardio, but I worked hard on running. Later, I came back, took a bath, and got ready for the durga puja program that we were going to see. Ruponkor was coming to kharghar, and so we reached there at around 7:10 pm. Initially there was some dance drama or so, but then he arrived. He was as usual fantastic. I got the opportunity to speak with him too, and also got to take pictures along side him. After that, I tried my hand to get the keys of the new car, but somehow I felt that my first driving experience is not in the recent future. Anyways, we bought some veg chops and then returned home. At home, I came to know that KKR has won the match by D/L. It is still not out of danger, and has a slight hope of making it to the next round. Later, I returned to my home and started writing this post. Every one is asleep now, and I also plan to sleep early because I am a bit tired. I plan to sleep by 1:30 am.

Diary 154: Honda City and Peace Day

Yesterday I slept at around 2:00 am. I was feeling very sleepy. Today I woke up at around 9:00 am. I went online, brushed my teeth and started working on the code optimization thing. I had a call with Ankit regarding the same. During the call, we all came to know that Sushma's birthday was on 6th September and everyone forgot about it. So, she was complaining to us. After some discussions, I and Ankit figured out that the code needed some other changes, and so I sent him the code again, and then relaxed. After that, I suddenly started working on my essays. I started the second essay, but couldn't continue. Then, I decided to study as I have a AIMCAT tomorrow. There is a bit of pressure since the result would be shared with my bodomama and bodomimi too. Anyways, they are coming tomorrow, and it will be fun. After that the current went off, and hence caused a lot of frustration. I ate my lunch (stuffed paratha this time) at around 3:00 pm. After that, I relaxed a bit, and then started studying again. Later, I noticed that Dad had already brought the car. I was obviously excited. At around 8 pm, Dad and I checked out the new car (Honda City). I loved the features. I was just waiting for the opportunity to drive it. Anyways, after that I watched the match between Mumbai and Cape Cobras. Mumbai put a nice total of 176 but the match was abandoned due to rain. I went to gym later, and realized that my weight increased to 80. Seeing this, I decided to run (and not only walk) on the treadmill today. I couldn't run continuously much, but I am planning to gain on it. I came back, had a bath, and my post work out dinner. Then, I wrote this post, and now I am planning to study some more and/or work on essays. I plan to sleep by 3:00 am.
