I am still dozing off.. 2 days back, i just stayed awake through out the night watching two movies, back to back. "Kutty srank" and "Elsamma enna Ankutty". I liked both, very much. It was after a long time that i saw a good malayalam movie. It was about 12 o' clock when the silent hours commenced in my house. I started off with kutty srank. And when both shows ended, it was 0530 hrs. Amazing... Should i go to bed or stay awake so that i can go to church at 0630 hrs?... The second one sounded more daring. The only time i ve stayed awake like this was on the eve of a function associated with my sister's marriage. Me and dad had to assemble the handrails, and panels of staircase, as there were no workers, and we did the job with only tea breaks in between. The job which began on 7 in the morning ended at 0530 hrs the next day. And then i went to church at 6, for the first mass (It was a sunday. on sundays usually churches have 2 holy mass). Eventhough i thought to experience it once more, i came up with another plan. I would sleep till 6 and then go to church. Even before i said "affirmative" to my plan, i set my alarm and started snoring.....
Yesterday was the fuck all day for me. And you will find it most interesting. Let me begin one by one. It was Ainston, my 14 months old nephew who gave me a shake up by poking with his sharp fingernails in my nose and ears at 0930 hrs. I couldn't help, but kiss him tight on his chubby cheeks, for he is my life's life and moreover, my Godson. I brushed my teeth and did a clean shave, within 3 mins, the way we used to do in the academy.
I was supposed to draw a demand draft, for my further training. When i went to the bank, i realized that some data was missing, without which the dd can't be processed. It almost came to a dead end. Then a quick drive to treasury with mom and kids. We wanted to do some account transfers, but the authorities said "BALLS"(academy slang). I thought to go to the city to take a ride, on my uncle's bike, so that i can rip the road, to drive out my frustrations. Mean while, dad n mom planned to go for a shopping to the city and i had to drive the whole family. Half an hour before the journey, i was trying to configure my modem,... the network again showed me "balls"... When i rang up to the exchange, they said to submit the device within 10 mins, so that they will configure it soon. I dashed through the street and empty shortcuts. 3 mins to cover 3 kms. 60kmph. Good maths. I said them that i wil collect the modem after 10 mins. As the exchange was on the way to city, i could collect it when i was going with my family. When i came back, dad was ready with the car. Half way to the exchange, mom told that she forgot her wallet. Back to home. I thought it would give the exchange ample time to configure modem. I was happy. But when i reached exchange, thy said that network showed them "balls".
The first destination was jewel shop. I hate gold purchase, ladies go through 100s of patterns, and then move to the other shop. So i decided to collect my uniform from the tailoring shop, which i ordered beforehand. Now the tailoring shop was 3 kms far. I thought to walk, to kill time. Sometimes i opened strides so as to make sure that i was not too late to be back.on my way, i messaged to my friend, who was working somewhere nearby. As i haven't met her for a while, and would be leaving for further training, i thought it would be a nice idea to meet her, so that i don't waste her time.I asked for her location. She asked "why?".. "Just wanted to plant a bomb. Its ok, may be later.." I replied..
The tailoring shop confirmed that my order would have been ready by one day before the due date. I placed the order form in the shop keeper's hand. HE went inside, came up with trousers and told me that shirts showed me- "balls". Frustrated, i left the shop. I looked for a peaked cap; every shop showed up "BALLS"...
I reached home, very late. By that time i was tired, sleepy, and aggressive. Little Ainston wanted to play with ball. I looked around, but couldn't find one; kids would have thrown it somewhere carelessly. I sighed, and looked at him miserably... I said in mind "Balls, ainston... Start getting used to the world around you "... He just let out a fair cry..

After a few years...when Ainston reads his dead uncle's blog..he will be like "That day i asked Uncle DJ for a ball to play with and he abused me in his mind?!?! wat a jerk of an uncle!!...good that the Somali pirates shot him dead!!" haha..
ReplyDeleteIm loving it!! Serves u rite!! Mr balls!!
And u wanted to ride thru cochin city to kill ur frustration??? Aren't kochi roads the biggst cause of frustration anyone can ask for!!!?!
Yours,
the only jobless soul who still comments!
Nice.... very 'disciplined' life...
ReplyDeleteDidn't they teach you anything about waking up early ?
@jana, its true that riding thro' cochin makes you mad. But for riders who love zig zagging through the heavy traffic, it is a great relief. Its like smoking. You feel comfortable even though you are takin CO and CO2s.....
ReplyDelete@ jfreak, of course they taught us how to get up early. As we had ti get dressed up at 0530 hrs, i used to wake up at 0430 hrs. Later, i learnt how to get my routine done quickly. Then wake up time used to be 0500 hrs, and change to uniform and snooze till out pipe...
And when you come home, you loose the disciplined way of living. Afterall, home is meant for free expression, not for good impression....
