The Lost One at my Window.

Getting up late is something that happens when Im on a holiday! Today being part of my Weekend Getaway was No Different. But this Morning I was woken up by Something very different, by something other than the screams of my parents saying Im going to be late for college! It was a Pigeon. It reminded me of Masakali, It looked into my window wondering who were the Earthlings inside! It wondered why the Curtain was drawn apart! It wondered why its privacy had gone! It needed to get back at us so it kept poking its nose into our window. From What I figured it was just telling us I want my privacy back! I told it in my mind we'll move in a day so please let me go to sleep! As if it understood me it flew away!
I curled under my Blanket and was about to get the rest of my sleep when the door banged open and my Brother and Mother emerged after a session at the gym. The newly turned fitness freaks!
It surely was time for breakfast. The dream Briton Breakfast?! Well well well, thats exactly almost what I got and eating with Britons made me realise that exactly was the Dream Briton Breakfast.

"Y - M - C - A!"

Ever Since I realised we were going to be staying at The YMCA! Iv been singing the Popular Number to myself! Trying to Imbibe the sense of YMCA maybe. But ever since I heard the fares, Im still trying to Digest the fact that Im living at the YMCA for the same amount I could Live in the Taj West End or Residency or The Leela Palace In Bangalore! I know The typical Malayalee attitude has struck me!
But I do love Staying at the YMCA! When I finally did get up for Dinner, There was a play going on at the Quadrangle, I suppose! Im still to get used to the place! And the Theme was Easter. It surely did make us feel at home! A lot of things make us feel at home but the pinch of the Fares surely did not make me feel at home!
Dinner was absolutely awesome! Being a supposed ex Diet Conscious Freak, I was so happy I wasn't one any longer and just dug in! Now Im waiting for breakfast already even though thats 9 hours away now! Overall YMCA Delhi is not like the other YMCA's Iv stayed in! Its a different Experience. Well It has to be else the Fares wouldn't be so much!
I think whats affected me is I wouldn't be able to shop so much just cause of this! Well we'll just have to see! But the fact that Our Car too gave
way by Puncturing itself took me aback.
The look from the balcony of our Room is awesome! We've got awesome Neighbours too, The Organising Committee building for the Common Wealth Games 2010 and The Park which is a little away!
The YMCA hasn't caught my attention still much but I love staying here! So Il just have to Pray tomorrow is a better day! And I hope Holy Saturday does do its wonders cause Good Friday was not that Good!

I do not want to be DTOA (Dead Tired On Arrival)!

A trip to the Capital city of India, during a hectic week in the middle of a semester for just a weekend can easily be the best get away I could ever think Of!
Iv been waiting for a holiday! And I just do not want to be Tired on arrival! It usually happens cause Im air sick! Well thinking over it Im basically Travel Sick. But I love exploring places and If ever there was a stream of Undergraduate Courses which dealt with just travel and had a good scope, I would easily have opted for that! But going by the trend Engineering seemed right then! I have No complaints of that though!
Anyways an Early Morning Flight out of Bangalore has a lot of Implications! It means getting up early with the experiences we've had of getting up an hour and a half before the flight we're used to it!
We're out of Our House by 4 and the only tune which keeps humming itself in my Mind was "Leaving on a Jet Plane"! The scenic beauty to the Bengaluru International Airport is always Amazing and it takes my breath away everytime!
But within No time were we in the race with other cabs. So I take out my earphones plug it in and go into a World Of My Own!
I get up in the middle and realise we've reached the Airport, then I started dreading the Journey cause there has only been a travel when I have never shown any Uneasiness! Thanks to my Co Passenger. She kept giving me boosts of Confidence! Well this time its different, this time Im not on my Own! I have my entire family!
By the end of the 2 and a half hour Journey, I realise what the best way to beat the Uneasiness is! Sleep through the entire journey on My Amma' Lap. I wonder what Il do on my Journey back, considering Im going back on my Own again!
Well the famous T3 Terminal took me by surprise. It was amazing! It was like No Airport Iv seen before! It was Awesome! Was this just the beginning of an awesome Weekend Getaway with extremely Out of this world Roaming Charges!? Well it did start as one.
The reason we came to Delhi was a Promotional Transfer! Transfers always give me the jitters! It keeps us all apart but the very fact that its Just a 2 and a half hour flight away, Just an Std call away, Just a National Sms away! It eases my Nerves.
And I still believe in What happens, Always happens for the Good!
Our First stop was the Quarters but we had nothing to spend a day in it! So we decided Shopping and before anything Eating. We were famished!
We go to the Famous South Indian Creation - Saravana Bhavan! It made us feel at home but the prices did make me feel we were paying a bit too much for eating in a place just like home, So far away from Home!
Jet Lag didn't bother me once I realised I was to go Shopping! But that was Short Lived. My Mother fell sick and she was so in need of some Well deserved rest. After all it was a holiday! My Father did not think Twice! Within No Time we were Checked in to The YMCA! I was not DTOA, until I sat on the bed and Got up by 7 in the evening for Dinner!

The Procastinators Bug!

I surely am One person whose been bitten badly by the Procastinator' bug. And Very Very Badly at that!


I had started A Blog about something very close to my heart and I don't seem to get past the second post! I blame it on technology not having advanced to the point where- Whats on my Mind is Interpreted into my Blog!

Im in a bid to Lose weight and the only thing Iv seen myself doing is eating all the stuff which Im not supposed to! I blame this on me not getting the Genes which my Brother has.

Yet again Iv made up my mind to go jogging tomorrow. Im Glad my Friend does not know I procastinate too much! Which I probably will end up proving it to her by sleeping that extra half hour! Again I blame this on College wasting up Most of my Valuable energy to do good stuff!

I had decided that This season of Lent, I will surely fast and give up on my favourites. Only to break it on Ash Wednesday evening! And I blame this upon Getting up in the middle of my sleep and sitting at the dining table all Groggy not knowing what I was eating.

Iv tried giving up The Net for a week! Alas Something Important came up in between.

I just realised along with the Procastinator' Bug, Iv been bitten by the Excusitis Bug.
For EVERY procastination there is An EQUAL and OPPOSITE excuse.


So many Plans, So many dreams, they will remain just so near, yet so far away If I don't get rid of the Bugs soon!

So Iv decided that tomorrow I surely will think of ways to eradicate them Cause Now Im just too Tired.
