A Surperising Saturday..

There is something special about Saturday. Thought Shikha never allow me to sleep late but I got another excuse for not waking up. My mom said that I use to be a good boy in my childhood and never cry for not going school..well...I am ready to accept that I have start childish behavior a bit late and now a days I am crying for not going to office because of stomach ache.
There are so many other reasons of crying too but I am not here to discuss about it. I am here to discuss something about an adventurous Saturday.
So my Saturday started somewhere between 7:00 AM and 9:30 AM. Shikha waked me at least 6-7 times and I came out of bed with final ultimatum regarding tea. As I never like to lose my morning tea, especially when it is prepared by m lovely wife, but nothing like morning dreams!!!!!
With every call, I just open my eye for evaluating the atmosphere heat and returned back to my sweet dreams if everyone's temperament is not too hot.
Finally I realized that it is too late to stop Shikha yelling on me and suddenly opera filled with melodious music turned into battlefield and I got the sound of some gunshots fire. I wake up immediately and saw Shikha standing just next to my head with cup of tea.
My God!!! It was a narrow escape... btw…The gun shots, I heard in my dream, came from TV serial, please don't misinterpret them.
So, it was a start of my day and clock showing me 9:30. I got the news paper and start it from the last page as usual. I never like to read news paper from the first page as I like to read different story rather usual stuff of one person blaming other for something but I got my second shock of the day. I was not able to read the news paper!!! I was feeling like an illiterate, not able to understand any word, except the pictures but same time I got the reason as well. It was because of my hawker. He gave me Telugu News paper :( .. I was quite disappointed as I got a habit of reading news paper with morning tea but I had no choice left. I continued watching it and tried to get some meaning with picture attached with it. Worst part was all ads were also in Telugu only so could not waste my time with them as well.
Finally I finished fastest reading of all the time and finished paper in 5 mins. As soon as I put news paper back on the table, I saw, Shikha and mom are smiling on me, I know why they were smiling but just to hide my frustration and asked the reason. They didn't tell me anything and continued smirking on me and I felt like most stupid fellow on this earth.
I decided to change the topic and called to my niece, Anya, I think we are the best buddy on this earth. We both protect each other’s back. Whenever we found our self in an awkward situation, we call each other and most of the time I call her like today. Anya picked up the phone with big "Hellllllooooo" as usual and as soon as she realized that it is my call, she started her story telling. Let me tell one thing here that she communicate in some alien language so it is difficult to read, write and understand. Only my mom and my sister can understand this language. Even I don't understand it but I was enjoying it as my mom was looking my face as she was waiting for get the phone and talk to her. Yeeeepii.. I broke one member of rival group. I think I should be in Politics. I handed over the phone to mom and Shikha become all alone. Now she was not smiling on me as she needs support of my mom to take 'Panga' with me.
I asked her to give paranthas as breakfast cum lunch to me and she saw me with corner of her eyes and muttered about my laziness. Even I heard it but not reacted as I always believe on final outcome and not on intermediate disturbance :)
Finally after half an hour, conversation between my mom and Anya got over and in place of happiness, I saw some confusion on my mom’s face. As confusion never come alone, it always come with another set of confusions, I also got confused about reason of my mom's confusion.
In place of playing confusion game, I decided to break the game and asked the reason.
The reason was not good for me. It was traditional good news with bad news.
Good news was my sis got a full time job is very reputed school and bad news was my mom has to go there as Anya’s school timings didn't matched with my sis job timings.
Anyways she planned to go there only after coming back from dipawali holidays. As soon as I adjusted with one surprise, I got next one. My mom had a plan to visit Bareilly as well to see Mamaji and she want to do it before coming back. We tried all the permutation and combination to fit Bareilly trip in our short hometown trip but we found that we have to miss at least one planned activity to adjust it.
All of a sudden, we just got an out of box solution of the problem. If mom travels all alone to Bareilly, before our Rishikesh Trip, we can intact our original plan. I thought my mom will refuse this plan as she had to travel alone but she accepted to take it up. I think she had a storng willing to meet mamaji as he is not feeling well now a day. We rushed to the new generation railway reservation counter, which resides at one corner of my home, to check the availability.
We found that there is some seats available under 'Tatkaal' scheme for Delhi on 25th Morning.
With very deep heart, we booked this ticket and choose all time favorite 'Kashi Vishwanath' for onwards journey to Bareilly.
As we had only one day in between, so we rushed for packing the stuffs and decided to go for some sweet shopping on next day.
against my habit, I saw the clock and come to know that it was 7:00 PM and we hadn't watched TV till now.
As soon as I switched on TV to watch it, Shikha closed it with an idea to celebrate the rest of the time with playing her all time favorite card game called 'Laad' (I think my all old roommates must be agree with it) as we had not played it since our Nagarjuna Sagar trip.
For those, who don't know this game, it is a card game where cards got distributed among all players and the person who left with cards declared looser.
So we played it for next one hour and Shikha enjoyed it a lot as I earned so many cards during this one hour. Anyways all Indian ladies gets happy to see her husband earning more then others and in my case she had another reason to be happy as she had biggest contribution in it.
Finally, we decided to watch TV with our dinner and spend some more time in R & D with new automatic BP monitoring machine.
It was a very exciting day filled with so many emotions. I know that coming days will be more adventurous for my mom as she will do her first independent journey where she have to catch train independently from different station. One may feel it as not a big deal but if you think in prospect of an 50+ year old person on her first independent journey, it is as big deal as going on Mars with change over at Moon for us.
All the very best Mom!!..
I think it is too late for me to go for a sleep and here I am stopping this post!!!
