Before I start a disclaimer - this blogpost is to address the ones who have this custom of asking me on the mondays, tuesdays and wednesdays about what I did over the weekend and on thursday and friday what I will be doing in the weekend that follows. But this middle class guy neither has a girl friend, nor does he booze or party. So this may not have anything spicy! ;) This would just serve as a template that will let you know precisely what I will be doing at any instant of during the weekends. And to remind myself of this weekend since I had more than one happenings that I would like to remember longer. (But no confessions here ! This will serve as a simple reference for myself to remember them)
Day1:
I was in the office when the weekend started. At 12, I had just started running to catch my cab. After coming home picked up the "Five Point Someone" that I had bought from the next desk at office. And read till 2 PM and slept with the lights on. Woke up at 4 to switch it off! And there started the journey to the lands of the dreams that went on and on and .... on till 12 next day! :) I had already got a message and a missed call then from home!
Ok.. So thats the start of the weekend! The day had started, weather was perfect to continue my session, but the hungry stomach had to be answered. Ate as much as I can, infact a little more than what I can and continued the book from where I left. The plan was to start to office at around 4. But I managed to complete it at 5:30 and was in no mood to go then. Ahh.. :( Bad (Ratings for the book: 2 + half since it kept me bounded to complete. But I think "Above Average" was better!) Just then I remembered the day's quota of water hasn't rinsed me yet. And after a fine hot bath, was hungry again. Made an invite for a pani puri visit. With pani puris no matter how much I eat I always feel I have eated a couple lesser than what I should have. Came back, whiled around surfing net and did dosa for myself (this is worth a big post!) and decided that I should get ready for Dark Knight. Watched the "Batman Begins" ;) Man.. it was too good and fit enough to be at IMDB 100. Slept at 2. Well I think this should have been part of day 2 but lets have it here for completeness :)
Day 2 :
I never believed I could wake up so early on a sunday! 7.45 and I was off the bed. Noticed that power had went off. Yeah, I belong to the breed that cant sleep without fan even for a single minute! No matter how cold it is I want the fan to be swinging at its full speed :) So there we are off to the 10.30's show at 9.30! (Between this I slept again till 8.30 after the power came again. :) )
The weather was pleasant and we were there in time for the show!
At the end of the 2 and half hours we were awestruck. It was worth the bucks spent! Came home and compensated for the lost hours with a siesta that lasted for more than 4 hours!
Went out as soon as I woke up to eat. You must taste those sambar idlies of Ruchira! Hmmmm .... I love them. That's prolly the only place in this entire city where I find myself eating some good food. Was caught in rain on the way! I must tell you about the auto trips here! They carry minimum 5 and a max of even 7! Ugh.. But that continues to be my transport mode now :) Day1:

Came home watched Kungfu panda(again) for the Po toy had tempted me a lot and slept at around 1 !
[I have delayed this by a week, the lazy bum is now finding it hard to write blogs! I have a month old draft still incomplete :( ]
Good one! It would surely remind you of your weekend life in Hyderabad some day! Reminds me of the internship days I had in India :)
ReplyDeletelol , ok i will read this blog the next time I wanna ask u on what u did over the weekend :P. . .And that was a very nice weekend eventhough it involved office:D. . .
ReplyDeleteI have been reading 5 point someone for a year now and I "think" I havent finished it as yet . . I do agree its not all that great , I like 'one night' better(Atleast I finished that one).Hoping the '3 mistakes of my life' will be good too :) . . .
I agree with the share auto thingie. . .Its like 9 ppl here with 2 guys on the front with the auto driver (Boy,Am i glad I am girl)and when I refuse to be turned into jam they stare at me like I am a crazy girl :( !!. . .
I'll stop blabbing here. . It was a really Nice post . .and u have a nice collection of songs on ur dhingana:)
P.S. I know I said I would stop the comment. .But on second thoughts, unless the lazy bum lets u write posts more often , the comments would keep getting longer
@alpinepath: Yeah.. there goes my records on my weekend in history :D So were your weekends more interesting than mine ;)
ReplyDelete@vishnu: Wow! the comment might have become larger than the post itslef ;) Thanks for the song collection. Do you have any recommendations?
he he he! I would write less often if you could give me such mini posts here ;)
wow...u have such a interesting life..Machan ,the next time someone asks you,Whats plan for weekend,tell them,
ReplyDeleteYou are planning to invade Uganda,Brazil,Ethiopia on saturday and planning to bomb US on Sunday.
Trust me tat will be the last time,they will ask you tat question.
But hey,if it is a nice cute "iyer" gal,wanting to know wat the great vivek does during the weekend.I'd strongly recommend you to watch a movie wid her and have dinner wid her and totally forget about the crap idea i gave in the last para.
Vera enna... I only hope tat kuselan flops big time and the movies is like the Initials of its director(which am pretty sure,it will be).I am doing sandhya vandhanum,reading narayaneum,Bhagavatham and vishnu sahasranamam solely for this purpose :P
Ps::Happy Frndship day,May Frndship overflow like teh sakaadai tani in our own Kulateri (a tank near my house)
tagged!
ReplyDeleteInteresting weekend..similar to my weekends ages ago... my weekends revolved around food, movies and sleep!! not necessarily in that order!
ReplyDeleteBy the way you "bought" the book from the next desk?
yep had to :( He was clearing things and he had no intentions of lending :(
ReplyDeleteAnd yes, mine too is revolving around food, more food, movies and sleep ;)
