Hello everyone.... first of all, thank u soo verry much for giving me this much number of votes in the polling !! i checked it today whn panackal called me today & told me abt this.. thanks a llottttt everyone!!!!
p.s. i didnt know tht u all were this much desperate to chop off my head!!boo hooo!!]
then i just thought to write something abt my vacation trip to delhi & b'lore as it'll take a month(!!) for all of us to meet again in the college! & by tht time , maybe , i may forget something worth mentioning abt the trip.. so beware & be ready for the 'shortt' tour narration ........
we(me, achu, kochitta) left tvm in the afternoon of 21st whn we had the last exam of the season-CG , in a volvo bus to b'lore where one of my aunts ('valleetta' for me) recently settled down with her family (my cousins ammu n appu) ..the journey was somewhat horrible - thanks to the roads & also for the movie they played - the hero being harisree asokan!! i then remembered our s3 tour to kodaikanal( i hope maneesha remembers it too) where the movie they played in the night whn we were returning were somewht in the same platter (if not better) thn this one! we had 2 days in b'lore & thn we left to delhi..rameshappan's flat in delhi truly felt like a second home to me! we didnt cross the delhi border even for one day..we were IN delhi completely for almost 8-9 days..the weather was chilly..during night time we had to wear sweater in addition to the extra-thick blankets there!! every day we used to get up at 9 or 10 in the morning! , have breakfast(dosa, kozhukkatta, idli, semya-uppma) made by kochitta, go out for shopping ('window shopping' actually) .. travelling in the delhi-metro was a wonderful experience as i had seen it only in some hindi movie(dil chahtha hai-ofcourse!)..
another thing tht happened was in the flight to delhi frm b'lore : we had reached delhi (actually above delhi) arnd midnight & suddenly the pilot announced tht "we have reached delhi. but due to the bad climate, we r going back to b'lore..sorry for the inconvinience occured" !!! we were literally truly basically horribly terribly & actually shocked! to hear that..but of no use in stopping the pilot! he did wht he said & lo! after 2 & a half hours , we returned to the same place frm where we had earlier left some 5 hours ago!! they thn took us to a 7-star hotel: The Grand Asoka ( shanidasakkidayile shukran!! as ammu had said) it was almost 5 am when we settled in our rooms with all the luggages & the next flight to b'lore was at 1 pm tht day! by god's grace we reached delhi the following evening safely.. the best thing of all was tht a passenger(an old man) who seemed sleeping soundly whn all these happened & on reaching b'lore back, whn the pilot again announced tht 'we've reached b'lore' ,shouted loudly "B"LORE!!!????" wondering how come tht happened!! everyone in the plane bursted out thn which in a way lightened the situation..
i knew tht hafeez was also coming there & i had given him the ph.no & address of the flat & was wondering why he did not call up ( i had no idea of the health condition of his sister & father
until i reached back here) ..
thats all abt my trip & this time i didnt make any of those blunders in hindi as i had the hindi padanamala with me which rakeshettan gave me at the end of our last trip..(sathyamayittum!)
but kochitta took my place this time..the best of all was this: once she was asking our sardarji driver abt his family & she asked "aapka bachcha hai?" for which he replied "haanji..ek beti hai" then u know wht she asked him??!! "beti ka kitne baje hue?""!!! she meant to ask her age!!!
