PART 1


Hmmmmmmmm I started with writing about friends but, felt I m nt yet ready to write about it as of now(emotional subconscious) ,so its due for next time. Lately I m going through rough phase and I hardly recognize what happened to me. I don’t remember h ow I was before, when I stopped being what I was and became what I m now.So this blog is to reminisce one of most sought after(in my family) adventure of a lifetime. My co partner in this fiasco is my dear brother prashanth.
I was 12 years old then and without care of the world.i was just this gal with my head always in books knowing no pleasure of life. My brother was though a complete opposite.He was this cool kid who used to make my boring life hell. Its funny I never thought I would say this but I miss my hell.I just finished with my exams and was gearing up for a boring monotonos summer except little did I know that this was going to be a different one.For the first time my parents decided that we should go to our grandparents place in madras without them alone.Of course my moms brother, our uncle accompanied us in the journey.Looking back now I hardly remember the journey coz maybe I was asleep as soon as I gt into the train.i tend to sleep heavily by 8 30.i was woken up by my uncle.i gt down quickly and stood like a doll. My uncle gave me a small water bottle to carry and I was like I was carrying the whole load making grunts and everything. He had no other go but to relieve me off myburden. When I gt out onto the platform, we were greeted by stinking smell of fish all over and live fish on the ground beating for its life. We just walked through like it was some wonderland with open mouth.there was also this strange language that everyone conversed in. it added to the mystery. We finally reached our grandmas place and rested happily,dined heavily.At grandmas place along with grandpa, my bachelor uncle used to stay.two days went by swiftly and pleasantly.Now u know how bachelor uncles are, they think they are the most disciplined and think its their responsibility to make everyone else follow their monotony.I was shocked to know 5 in the morning would be so dark.WE were woken up by him, and asked to fetch milk by the corner of street. Now we are kids but not innocent, we were like we don’t know language e and stuff like that.The thing here one should understand is bribery starts at very young age, we were told we cud buy our own chocolates with left over amount. We jumped at the proposal and ran along the cold dark streets memorizing what we shld say to shopkeeper.When we finally reached the shop we forgot and just showed milk packet and 2 chocolates.Then we spent later part of the day with out grandpa asking us logical or math questions ,whoever answered is supposed to get like rs20 . we maintained a log book for that.Daily afternoon we were avid viewers of THE CENTURIONS. We decided our characters in that already and lived every episode.One week passed by quickly and then as we would have it we gt bored, missed our parents felt the schedule tightening around us.so we decided to call. We planned our call ver carefully. My brother would take bath and I would be in the attached room.he would stake out ny intruders(my uncle ,grandma) I would mak the call.i made the call and was my sweet moms tone, but was greeted with some gibberish crap.tried twice and met the same outcome.Then we figured out something was wrong , we enquired our grandpa carefully like we are asking for knowledge or something carefully gt the std code for our place and thn spoke to my mom next day like our lives depended on it,told her ‘there is no much time,call us in the nite,don’t let nyone kno we called u’. we may ve been a tad bit carried over by centurions.thn we argued daily for centurions coz it clashed with news.my mom called and we acted like we were surprised and she said she ll come as soon as she can possible a week.A lot happened in the following week.
Now there was this puja room,my bro and I pray daily for 30 min( we would like to concentrate on all gods).One fine day my brother did not come out even after 30 min and I was kinda losing my patience.i was walking to and fro with frustration wen he came outside suddenly and dragged me inside.what he showed me nex t is nothng less to fantasy land.
