Sunday'r Shikarokti :-D

Sundays are always wonderful :-)

Yesterday was no exception.Though the maid took a french leave and mom was down with a bad stomach,and I did a plethora of house-work,weilding my own two-hands,brandishing my culinery skills with all the veggies I could lay my hands on.

As the sweltering day approached an end,the city welcomed a much awaited burst of severe thunderstorm and rain!! "Aaaaahhhhhh......ki aram!!!",that's all i could feel :-)

However as I was looking forward to an evening of Adda with my friends,I was glad when the rain got reigned to a drizzle at around 7pm.And we(me and a friend of mine) headed towards another friend's house for a session of unadulterated "discover yourself" sessions(of course,her house was empty that dat day,save herself).En route I remembered that I was out of stock of ciggys.Stopped at a paan-shop to get some,but as luck would have it,the paan-wala has decided to go "healthy"(his definition-moronic!)by chucking cigarettes from his shop!!!! Just imagine!! A paan-shop in Kol minus ciagrettes!!! I mean,this really exists!
Anyways,I decided to move on.Another tiny bus-stop cold-drink & chips & paan shop was more "normal",though with its limited stock of ciggy brands.It was drizzling heavily by that time again,and as I didnt have an umbrella on me,I tried to save my spectacles from getting dreched with the help of my palm,while with my other hand I fished out money."Ekta Filter Wills deben Dada"...no response..before you start wondering,there were some people in and around the shop....suddenly I realized that all had gone eerily quiet...too quiet.....but then this kinda reaction I often get when I'm buying ciggy...men simply cant come to terms with the fact dat a woman is asking for a pack of ciggy!!(but they cant discourage me :-) ).However,this time the response time was becoming weirdly loooonnnggggg...so,I finally took a good look at the guys in and around the shop,and realized that none of them were the shop-keeper.Anyways,finally a guy kindly pointed out,verbally,"dokaan-dar pechone ache"(shop-owner is somewhere in the back of the shop......getting the 2L bottles of Pepsi & Sprite for THEIR daru-party,I realized later).

Well,yeah,I did get embarrassed,but am too proud to show it....smart-a** as always,I said "Thank you,dada",to no-one in particular,but meaning all of them,pretending to be in a tremendous rush,though I was in none......grabbed my pack of ciggy(the shop-owner had finally emerged at my voice calling out to him)....and trotted back to my car......Whew!!!!........of course,my friends had a good laugh after I relayed the incident to them.......but what-the-hell......bade-bade shaheron mein chhoti-chhoti baatein hoti rehti hain ;-)
