A day to remember

Indeed, today was one day I would remember for a very long time to come. Before my friends just go too ahead and think that it was they who made the day special... hmmm... I must be honest here and say that the unforgettable moment occured at sometime between 1 and 1.30 in the afternoon. [:D]

9.00-10.30 a.m. - After a very long night spent on reading a novel and burning the laptop's charge (alright, it was just my weak attempt at a paradox for midnight oil [:P]) I went to sleep very late (by home standards) the previous night and hence woke up at 9! Just as I wake up I receive a message from MG ( as usual, our jokes and 'fun' and all the innocent souls who we planned to annihilate today. I must say that we wake up each day thinking as to who the unlucky martyr for the day would be!) and the reason for that particular message was to check whether her free message offer still existed, considering I am the one who takes note of all this for her [:D]. Unfortuantely not, and I knew that I would have a very dry day today without all our joint expert opinions and polls and what not. I woke up and as I was just getting out of the house, appa calls me and asks me to do some paper work which I promptly finish and leave for a chore that he asked me to do before I left. I come back to realize that he had come back from office and was waiting for me and his little paper work. Then just as appa was getting into his car I ask him for cash for the lunch today and I asked for 100 because I had loads with me anyway. And he gave me 200. LOL... And that is my appa. Then I take my scooty and started leaving right behind him just to see the driver uncle waiting for me and appa calls from inside and says, " Varsha, wear your helmet and drive carefully sweet heart. Or you can come now in the car and have it for the day." for which I go like, " Appa, it is ok (I did not want to trouble the poor driver uncle considering how weird my friends' plans could be) and the helmet is broken. I meant the front glass is and that was the only reason for me to wear the helmet. Get me a shades and I will wear the helmet then [:P]". Appa said, " Next time darling". [:)] .And then I drive all the way to kowdiar and realize that my sweet lil friends had taken a detour and asked me to come to zoo. On calling they said they were just on their way. So i drove half the way back and returned back to museum. After all there is no point in me staying put at the zoo till they come!

11.00-12.45 p.m. - Even after I did all the driving around town I ended up in museum before them and I had to wait for them though I constantly pestered them with my incessant messaging about making me wait! After all this fighting we entered the zoo and I was not spared or rather the monkeys were not. Poor creatures I must say. Let me just say, we are descendants or rather We are family or in my friends words (who all had serious claims to the title of Mojo Jojo) I was family! I guess my friends were not tired of the zillion photos they had taken of me with the monkeys the last time we went. Not only the monkeys, ranging from the King Cobra to the Painted Stork to the Hippo, no animals were spared. And at the end of the trip all that my friends could say was NIT had made me very logical (it was just a dig at all my jokes or should I say jokes on me?!) From the beginning of the tour till the end, all that VS could say was 'I'm sleepy' or 'I want to eat'. And since we had not yet decided where to have lunch from, we finally decided on Sindoor Palace, our home as usual. And with every passing 15 minutes each and everyone was getting hungry. I finally got fed up of all the grumbling about food and we called it a day at the zoo. Though I must say that I never really wanted to go to the zoo because I had already seen all the animals in front of the zoo as they were entering:my friends! [:D]

1.00-1.30 p.m. - As usual, everyone takes turn on my scooty and this time VS was lucky or rather unlucky to be sitting behind me. I drove from zoo to sindoor and I noticed a police jeep in front of the restaurant. As I was about to take the turn into the restaurant, the police asked me to park and to go along with him. And it was then that I realized that I was being caught for driving without a helmet. LOL. It was a first-time experience and all I wanted to do was burst out laughing. I was struggling to keep a straight face. The police inspector asked me for all the documents and God bless my mom for having kept all that properly in the scooty. And as my other friends came behind me, they got confused; they could see the police and thought it was something serious but on seeing my face they thought I was laughing over some joke! Well, I must say that this police inspector was one big MLA or in other words a despan. After checking all my documents all he had to say was, "First impressionil viduva. Fine onnum adakenda. :)" . I just turned around and did :P and all my friends just burst out laughing. Oh my God, it was very hilarious. Starting from the very first minute till he finished liteally studying the documents I was just hoping that he does not question me as to why I was laughing or rather take a dig at my feeble attempts to control it. And the funniest thing was, I then wore the helmet from the entrance of the restaurant to the parking lot inspite of him saying no need. It was just that I could not help playing a joke on him there and I guess he also did understand this because it was very evident. Anyway, because of all this my friends had a mighty good laugh. And thus today proves to be the first time I was caught driving without a helmet and hence will remain precious for a pretty long time!

1.30-2.30 p.m. - After all that walking in the zoo, sindoor had to feed 7 hungry girls who almost brought the whole place down talking and chattering.

2.30-4.00 p.m. - We spent the rest of the afternoon in the comfy settings of CCD. All of us just crashed into CCD and chatted and chatted and chatted. After everyone almost came up-to-date with everyone else's lives and after we had one of the best ice creams we have had for a very long time we dispersed the area before anyone could throw us out. [:D]

Then as usual I dropped one of my friends back home, the person keeps on changing every time though. And then after a very joyous and eventful day I entered home late in the evening much to the annoyance of my grandmom who wanted me to spend the day with her. But as I always say, 'There is nothing that a kiss cant heal' and thus a peck on her cheek was enough for her to forgive me though I had to promise to spend the next day with her much to the delight of both of us. As usual, I ended up chatting with MG (or Anju on other days) till late in the night.Thus as the night dawns and I yawn, I regret that the day has gone. (yes MG, I understand, it is a very poor two-liner [:P] )

Courtesy for the day- All the places that would have kicked us out if we had not emptied the area in the next 5 minutes, Moni, Pri, Deepz, Achu, Jani, VS, MG (and all the innocent souls who were subjected to our comments today[;)]),Anju and most importantly the anonymous Mr.Police. [:D]
