my father and me...

Today was a special day for me.A day for father daughter bonding . At first me and my dad just went out together to meet our auditor.We had to discuss some IT related issues. It was a 20 minutes drive and our car, a basic model of Maruti 800, is fitted with no extra gadgets,obviously no stereo too.So i started to hum, and strangely it was tune from a very famous song of a kannada movie. To my surprise my dad starting singing it! After that, his smile turned into a chukle and later we both laughed. Few minutes later i popped a mint into my mouth and offered him one too. This is the one with a hole and we remembered the advertisement of this brand,where a boy tries to whistle thru' the hole, so we both tried it too! and in no time we both were whistling away to glory like kids. After the visit, on our way back, I was behind the wheels and my dad tought me few new tricks in driving (which i think wont use 'em again). We both returned home happy and cheerful, my mother seemed surprised coz the whole day my father was in a bad mood.It had been so long my father and I had spent some quality time with together.

New life...

I have almost adjusted myself to changes that have happened since i settled in Bangalore.. I feel things are very different in this city compared to my home town. I was not comfortable leading an independent life here at the beginning, doing all the household chores, even washing my clothes everyday! But its better than sharing a room with a stranger.

Last saturday i did shopping all by myself...felt strange but was a nice experience. Economic independence has made me happy,was able to afford good gifts for my family.Though i'll be staying in this city for days to come...I have left my heart back in mysore :)

These days...

Last two days have been really boring....i'm in office for almost 12 hours!All i've been doing is testing,though interesting,testing work for more than 2 weeks is a real downer. I come early in the morning to check my e-mails but cant go home early coz my room is almost a prison cell...i have nothing to do to pass time.All i can do is play the damn radio and read a novel, which i'm forced to as i dont have any other. Got to think of ways to spend my spare time in useful and creative ways.

House away from home

I moved into my new place (actually a 2 decade old apartment....as a PG)..feels weird a little coz i have to live alone.... away from family...yesterday i arranged all the things...took me 3 rickshaw trips to get my stuff :D I'm living with an old lady, she talks a lot...mostly blabbering the same words repeatedly....but its OK with me, she is a good woman...old ppl might be irritating but one should learn to adjust...

The only source of entertainment in my house is a small radio which plays shrill music of two radio stations.... i keep switching the stations often.Yesterday was my first stay...it was a cold and lonely night ! :D .......today morning i had to wake up early wash the bathroom........(i'm very particular abt clean bathrooms....and personal hygiene)...wash my clothes....tidy up the place...have breakfast in a hotel.......and then office....phew!!

Life's Like That......

Yesterday i experienced one of the most funniest moments of my life ;)my sis and i were packing up all the stuff at her home coz she was shifting.All the clothes were dumped on the sofa in the living room.Late in the evening (arnd 9 30 pm)my BIL's friend dropped in to say hi(without any notice).......i opened the door (not expecting a guest) and i was startled. The house was in a mess, since my sis and bil were busy i picked up the entire pile of clothes(it was HUGE!) and tried to shift it to the nearest bedroom (meanwhile this friend of my bil's was watching my plight and didnt offer to help). After dumping it on the bed i came back and to my astonishment i saw all the underwears had fallen on the floor (like the story of thumbalina....but here it was not breadcrumbs ;)....).I sheepishly smiled at the surprised guest and picked it all up( the guest was trying to act as if he didnt see anything....and trying hard to control his laugh)I escaped into my room and didnt come out till he left :)
