The Bhatura Incident

So I woke up this morning -yet again with pops call :) - and got out of bed all excited 'coz i would get my once-a-week-pleasure - chole bhature.

Most people in the hostel dont like it... But for some reason I'm in love with the rubbery n soggy bhatura's they make! The way the soft chole just dissolve in my mouth.. Ah... Nothing can compare...

So back to the morning- so i woke up n got outta bed.. Went to brush my teeth n my tummy's already grumbling! And it was only 7:40 am - we usually have breakfast at 8:30-9:00- I smiled to myself imagining the wonderful food item that was soon to be gobbled up by my horridly salivating mouth and digested by my gas n acid producing stomach!
So dreaming abt my bhatura... I went to finish my morning chores - loo bussiness, bath, fill the water, drink the water, make the bed and finally wake up my sweet sleeping frnds. Strangely my roomate didnt wake, she said she wouldnt have breakfast today. I knew she doesnt like oily stuff.. So i let her be.

Then takin my other friends, I grabbed my cup n went bouncing gleefully downstairs to the mess...only to be welcomed by the smell of hard over cooked idli n sambar!

The disappointment! Ahh... The frustration... The disgust at the item and menu made... Words will not be enough to describe...

We ate what we could though.. N went back to our usual routines... Keeping in mind that you dont always get what u want and expect from life! She likes making it difficult and finally-somewhere in the long run, i hope!- worth it! :)

Singing In The Rain...

So we had a torturous 1 hr 15min class.. After which.. Despite being saturated i returned to the lib to finish off a lesson.. Which successfully did and started another one too! So tired n saturated we left the lib to take the usual route via the canteen back to the hostel when we were welcomed by a lovely persistent gush of wind... Lookin up we saw the glorious dark clouds thundering to shower down at us... It wasnt rainin as yet.. But the hero of the story (lol) complained he was hungry but was too lazy to go out to eat something.. After a long debate.. We set out first wantin to go to the sandwich store out on the road then changin our minds n goin to the canteen in the engg campus where we eventually had egg chicken roll (he) and veg noodles(me)...but little did we expect (i think secretly hoped) that it would pour down on us just as we step into the engg campus

And down came the rain and washed.. All our stress out : ) We enjoyed the weather n the walk back
Watched many other crazy plp like us walkin n the rain.. Dancing.. Jumpin n of course singing... Craziest of the lot (when i say crazy do not mean to demean them! Crazy is a compliment) were the boys n junior doc playin football in the muddy playground..

I sit in my room now.. After washin off the rain.. Ritin this post.. Watchin the boys play.. N witnessin how sane plp (i refer to my roomate) find the rain as a hurdle to their daily evening walk!

A Walk After A Month Of Couch-Potato-Ness

So i needed a mosquitoe spray (coz the mosquitoes in the hostel were seriously givin me sleepless nights!) n  a few other things.. So class ended n we went to big bazzar walkin.. The walk to bb is always enjoyable. Its downslope and goal oriented and in the opp side of the harsh sun!
Happily i reach bb.. Do the shoppin..call ma to confirm the buys.. Pay the bill... N step out...
Woosh.. I was already breathless... I completely thought of takin a auto back! But i made up few more smal buys on the way - one vada n gulab jamun(there was no jalebi today at the maa sarlaa sweet store :P), pens at the stationary, coffee powder at a small min supermarket (ok what are they called!) and milk from our canteen - just so that i get my body used to this walk ATLEAST! n also to to start gettin rid of the food i store in my hips! :)
So i make it back -huffin n puffin- n go for a nice short shower n will soon attend to my messy room n clothes that need to be ironed... But for now... I just enjoyed a nice cup of cold coffee... Which i plan to make a nice ritual to satisfy my poor digestive system as well as my worried-well-wishers =)
