Back Home !!!!

It feels great to be back in action. The grahapravesam function went off well and I enjoyed myself thoroughly in the past week, going shopping and getting a haircut !!



Usually, quite a bit of thought goes into each of my posts and I try make them as “readable” as I can ! This post has been written just as an account of my trip, and forgive me if it sounds random and disoriented in some places !



This was the first time I flew at night, a beautiful sight !! Pieces of gold and silver scattered carelessly across different cities made for a gorgeous sight. The moon shone brilliantly across the sky, as if protecting the sleeping cities underneath.



The next day was shopping day. We had to buy the samagri for the function, and Gandhi Bazaar was the perfect place. Sweet smell from variety of fruits and flowers were pleasing to the nose, though the shouting vendors were not so kind on the ears. After a long day in the heat, we returned home and instantly, all of us went off to sleep.



The D-day was here. The house looked beautiful at 2:45 a.m., the muhurtam was at 4:30 a.m. You get to see the sunrise from our house, the orange ball of fire, coming up slowly from amidst the trees.



Soon it was time to bid our goodbyes, and we headed for the airport to catch the flight back home.



We traveled by a popular low cost airline. Earlier they would serve us small bottles of water, and now, to further cut down the cost they serve water in small glasses, and that too not to everyone, only if you ask for it.



A ‘gentleman’ who was seated in front of me asked for water 7 times during the entire 2 hour 20 minute long flight and every time the pretty airhostess served him with the usual plastic smile. On an average, he feels thirsty every 20 minutes (bet my maths is good ;).



Come to think of it, he has quite some thirst !!!



That’s about my trip. Tell me what you have been upto all this while ?
