the holidays again

After a long time I reached home. After a long time time I am writing a post.

To get rid of the unnecessary expenditure I decided to to travel home by train. 2nd Class sleeper and it wasn’t pleasant. Got in the train by 1140 hours and my God!, how hot can it get? and I haven’t even reached Kerala yet(the weather is even hot and humid in Kerala). So I’m sitting in the train, and before I reached a station’ Thane’, this higida(9, jhakka) comes to me asks me for money. My attitude towards them have changed since the last Christmas. I didn’t think they were that bad at all, until this guy came over. He asked me for 50 bucks. I said,” No. I can’t give you 50.” Then he starts telling that I spend Rs.20 for a 2 litre water bottle and and will(might) spend Rs.50 for chicken Biriyani( spicy indian dish), so I have to give him/her 50 rupees. I was thinking,”Damn!! the next time he’ll probably explain me the ‘e=m(c*c)’ way as in why I must give him a 100 bucks.” I said, No, I will give him 50 cucks( I said the same sentence cos I can’t figure out another sentence to tell him in Hindi, but I can understand it). So this guy threatened me saying that he’ll bring in the whole gang. I stayed motionless(actually I was shit scared inside). Then I gave him 10 bucks , he walked away, with the money of course.

The rest of the journey was boring and hot again. The train was 1 and half hours late also. Finally the next day I reached Cochin at 1530 hours and the first thing I had in mind was not to catch the another train and go home, but to go buy a set of DVDs and then go home.

Bought Once, 3:10 to Yuma, Ratatouille, Zodiac, Knocked Up, The Good German and Sweet Land. Something to keep me occupied for the holidays.

Anyway, You folks have a happy holidays. Merry Christmas too.
