Like any other weekend, the plans were all set. Mom and
brother left to Mumbai on Saturday morning at 3.30 am. While I ensured they
have everything that is necessary for the travel, my mom forgot her mobile
phone. Good that their cab was still at the main gate and I could hand over the
phone to my mom. I was definitely not game to handle her calls :P.
I finally went back to bed as it was only 4 am. At 4.30 am
the phone rings and it is my brother on the other side. “Vaishu I have not
carried any of my original ID proofs and the one I have is the laminated Xerox
copy. “ I wanted to confirm I heard it right and he repeated it for me. “I want
you to reach the domestic airport with my PAN card or Aadhar card as it might
become a problem if I get caught at the Mumbai airport.” This statement got my
eyes wide open. Not that my brother will get stranded in Mumbai but the thought
that I need to ride all the way to Chennai Domestic Airport only because my
brother missed to carry the original ID proofs. I dint know the route
thoroughly and yet I started as my brother insisted. I got on my bike and got
my way through till the Airport but dint get a proper parking place. I managed
to find a place and park my bike. I reached Spicejet counter and asked help
from the lady at the ticket counter and she said sorry we cannot get the original
through to any passenger. I rang my brother’s number and handed over the phone
to the Spicejet person. There was another Spicejet personnel at the checking
area and he guided her. Finally, after having the original reach my brother
safely, I rode back home and crashed into the bed.
I woke up with a headache and grabbed a mug of hot water to
start the day afresh. Three 10th std studying children cam home and
we did work out 10 math sums. They left at around 12 noon and I was HOME ALONE 😊.
I had plans of going out for lunch but my friend happened to
encounter an accident which left him tensed and irritated. We moved our plans
to net week. I was wondering if I should order or get into the kitchen and make
some khichadi. My neighbour exactly at that point rang the doorbell. To my
surprise, she had shared little rice, papad and sambhar. I thanked her
and God and had a sumptuous lunch. The evening was spent with little work at
home and getting the house a little clean and neat in shape. I then called my
friend with whom my lunch was planned and we had the call going for about 2
hours. It was very nice to have spoken to someone sensible and we made plans
for next weekend. The phone calls continued with friends with whom I had not
spoken to for long.
I texted Asha that we meet at 1 pm and then go out for lunch
on Sunday. After exhaustive phone calls and texts, I crashed into the bed at 12
midnight. I woke up the next day, completed the morning duty of cleaning the
house. Tuition stated at 10 and continued till 12.30 pm. I then guide Asha on
her way to my home. Once in, we got the tuition packed off and we started on
our Sunday tour. We had lunch at Mithai Mandir. I think she dint enjoy it much
as she likes really spicy food. We went shopping to Pondy Bazaar, then to Home
Centre in Alwarpert, back to Pondy Bazaar and then to Nesapakkam. It was 6
hours bike ride with halt at multiple places. After long I actually enjoyed
riding so much and just with the right company.
We returned home around 6 and chatted over several topics
and made no sense most of the time. At 7.15 pm we headed to Saravana Bhavan for
dinner. She then left n her way back home and I walked my way back to my home.
Had to respond to a few texts. I called mom and brother to check if they had
boarded the return flight. I told them to call me and not ring the doorbell as I
cannot hear it. The came home by 4 am and the three of us went back to bed
without talking much.
A weekend worth spending time chilling and relaxing!!!
