Weekend Memoir...(my brush with destiny and some nostalgia)
It was a much awaited and needed break for me.I was going home after 15days, even though i am a localite,its quite unusual. Firstly, on saturday morning, Mango (my 5yr nephew) came to my hostel and it was planned that he will stay with me till afternoon, and then papa will come from office and we will head back to home. So, I started my day with mango(best possible thing which i can dream about)...we played lots of comp games, then MS paint, typewriting , football rounded off with some really good chowmein, pastry and patties. Then we accompanied my father and took a detour to visited Lotus Temple(i dont see it as a religious place, i was visiting it 2nd time in my life)...it was good , rather great :) At home, my father asked me whether i want to visit temple(near Old Fort...47kms away) early sunday morning, which I firmly refused(only a fool will get up at 5 am in the morning on a sunday and do a thing which he doesnt believe in) .
Sunday, 8:30a.m. - i am abruptly woken up by my father(yeah, he returned from the temple so quickly, thats why he went so early to avoid the crowd and traffic) and ordered me to get ready in 10 minutes time as we were about to leave for my sister's place in Delhi( yeah, I live in Ggn). given no other option, i obliged my father with due respect and got ready in exact 10 minutes :) But i was in for a surprise(or some cheating)...so,instead of my sis's place , we landed up at an esteem astrologer's abode:( My father explained that he was getting worried about my future as i was not divulging much information to him about what i was planning to do in my near future(i'm still confused whether i am gonna join my job or not).
So, the learned astrologer took a look at my horoscope and fell in love with my horoscope(love at first sight...huh:))but was a bit startled.Then he told me where my saturn, mars, venus, jupiter, and all other sultry planets are loitering in my constellation right now... which obviously made no sense to me at all. but let me tell u his predictions for me... he straight away started with my marriage(i dont know why), and scared everyone present there by telling that there are some problems in my marriage... I will go against my family to marry the girl of my own choice and my bride would be too clever and cunning . she would make me dance on her fingers(won't that be too taxing for her pinky) but she will be harmonious with my family(surprising...i chose her and now she is party with my family...wow...maybe thats why i dont wanna marry) then he said that i won't be doing IAS and i should go to some management school else start earning in a field related to my engg subject. (and thats what i precisely think i should do...i dont know how he got hold of my thought process, but surely i was impressed). for all other things he said that my future is great and luxurious(wow...does that include Merc also:)) ...but he cautioned me not to invest any money on my friends' advice.
So, that was my mid-day excursion which was total fun for me.
sunday, 7:30 p.m. - i was standing in a bus coming back to hostel(i usually dont sit in buses...i feel sleepy on those seats). suddenly, one woman behind my back started vomitting...and i was helpless there...i had only two options:- 1. to change the bus; 2.or to stop breathing till that foul stench was in the air, and take my mind completely away from it. second option was truly out of question and i was now waiting for the bus to stop. Suddenly i got somewhat nostalgic and started remembering old memories. and all of a sudden, i could smell surf excel, hair shampoo, Autan(insect repellant body spray) and a very sweet type familiar smell of someone whom i know very dearly:) ...these are the smells related to that person only. This friend once prevented me from vomitting in a bus(as there was one person the bus who was vomitting and i was having problem with that stench). Those smells were just fantastic..and now i know what to do in a case similar to this...i jut have to get nostalgic a bit and those fragrances will come rushing back to my nostrils:) ...thats why you are marvellous angel.
So, in the end my weekend was rounded off with a very good heart warming incident and i am very happy by this weekend.

wow interesting
ReplyDeletetrips to astrologers range from scary to revealing to annoying sometimes when they say things u dont want to hear
all in all a good weekend
hehehe. Well, i'd have loved to see your face when this astrologer of yours told you about your future life. Especially the marriage bit! lol. Huhu, now you know waht to do: try to make your marriage work out- that is, once you do get married- did he say when that would be? ;)
ReplyDeleteI think it could be real fun and entertaining to go see what he would have to say about me- hmm... perhaps something like I will never get married because too deranged! is that a possibility? :p I'll try to make it work as far as i can to escape the hangman corde as late as poss.!! :D
hahah
ReplyDeletewell..=)
@aditi
ReplyDeletei think my trip varied its emotions from being scary to enlightening in the end. :)
@fireangel
yeah, he predicted it in 2008...and now i have got my aim of life(at least till 2008)...to prove him wrong. ;)
and hangman is waiting for everyone..its just that it is in different version for everyone ...but it is there ;)
