Home Sweet Home
Just back from a wonderful trip to Hubli, my home town.
Its always such a pleasure to be home, especially after a long period of three months [ yeah, i usually visit my home once in 2 months ;-) ] . This time, since i did all my last minute preparations, i had to book my ticket in a VRL-Volvo bus for Rs.325 !!!, instead of my usual train. Yeah, it was a very comfortable bus, with a/c in it ... but it definately lacked the comfort of a train. To top it all, we had one person snoring in full force right behind our seat. One surprise, was that Nagaraj was also in the same bus, so there was some good company. Nagaraj is now a married man, so its quite natural for him to visit Hubli quite often, as his better half is trying real hard to concentrate on her studies and complete her final year.
My parents had no clue that i would be coming home this weekend, and were delighted and surprised to see me there. The first change that i saw in my home was that the fencing was all cut and new braches were sprouting. And yeah, there were some more new flowers in our garden [ I have taken a few snaps of them. Shall update them sometime soon ]. I was dead tired with a neck pain, and slept the first half of Friday. Afternoon, watched "Kabhi Haan, Kabhi Naa" on cable and slept again. Went out in the evening and brought some snacks for a change, and we had a nice time eating those heavy dose cakes.
Saturday, my sister got her certificate for completing her diploma course in Aptech. She secured 78.5 %, which is a great achievement, and she has been consistently scoring above 75% all through the tests in the past year. Its a very good performance. There was some problem with the name mentioned in the certificate, but keeping in mind the past experiences of fiddling with the names at Aptech, we opted not to go ahead with the correction this time. In the evening, i had a nice chat with my dad after his office. Government offices have very rigid hierarchies, and people behave like rulers, or rather dictators i should say. Its not so flexible as in a private firm. I hope my dad gets his transfer soon, for which he is very much eligible and is pending since many months.
Apart from sleeping all day long at home and starting to get irritated about "Yeh tara, woh tara", from Swades, i enjoyed some nice baddy with my sis. She has really improved a lot in baddy, and is playing great these days. I spent some time watching the ICC trophy matches. My disregard for Flintoff has now turned into an admiration, especially after seeing how well he played against Sri Lanka. He has matured a lot, and is now planning his innings quite well. He doesnt go in for any childish slog shots, but is playing some real good cricketing shots. Every team now seems to be having a very good all rounder in their teams, and Flintoff is now the backbone of England's batting. Hope India finds some good all rounder quite soon.
