Another routine weekday was being spent, when the husband suddenly called and said that he will be taking the kids to some function around 6pm. The said affair being the religious kind, I was compelled to stay away due to my monthly time-off.
That gave me some peaceful moments to connect with the real world. Went to the 9th Block on the grand old kinetic, parked it at GuruDutt Enterprises, our local library and decided to do the rest of the expedition by walk.
When I crossed one of those big main roads (those that are christened Double Road, if they were constructed before 2000, and Ring Road if made more recently), I realised that I was doing so on foot for the very first time. How sadly motorized my daily life has become! Anyways, it was nice to notice each and every one of those medley of shops - in the process accomplished chores like getting a motorized spirograph repaired, chatting with the tailor who was surprised that I was back from vacation so early (who also wondered what I had done to the monsters), picking up anklets for the V, eating Bharkawadi and jalebi at the Delhi Bhavan and winding it all up by renting out Milan Kundera's Ignorance from Mr.Gurudutt.
Dinner was a an eclectic mix of leftovers from morning eaten in the company of MTV's Saturday Shuffle (does it matter to them that it is now tuesday?). Damn Arbit VJ. Why do they do these shows seated on a bed, wearing some nightclothes? After some expected mish mash of Bhool Bhulaiya and the likes, I was stunned to see an item called 'Team Anthem of Knight Raiders'. I have successfully shut off all info regarding the IPL, except catching a picture of the GenX Gandhis cheering for some team, and suddenly I see this. SRK and his dance with clothes borrowed from Daler Mehndi, and the prisoners and the Bharathnatyamers and that flaming helmet! What is he upto?
Ha, the door bell is ring-a-ringing. Goodbye Stolen Moments

hey i also ate bhakharwadi today! my american friend M was there too and she lovvvved it and polished off the whole packet.
I wonder if that thing is your state's IP or is it rajasthani in origin
is Gurudutt dusty? (what a name by the way/ I can just imagine him being addressed as 'guru' by his buddies).
you must have seen Mia on MTV. Boy she is annoying. You should see her talk about food. Its ridiculous because its not as if she eats anything. i am so surprised that you watched MTV of all channels. when i steal moments all I do is flip between music channels (wait, calling that music is an insult to someone).
think it is my state's.
Way too dusty. Its uncle GuruDutt straight out of Pyaasa. In addition to mood lighting in the form of 30W bulbs it provides AIR music. "Fauji bhaiyoin ki pasand Jaymala karyakram me aaj sunenge Chaundvi ka Chaand..."
cb - but i dont remember meeting that B thing in your room. Or did you finish it all up before you let us in? :-)
only in the second half of my life so far did i chance upon it. one of those mysteries of life.
