As i decided the earlier day, it was now time to act. Eyes were starined already, but will power can do wonders in such cases..I completed 2 asgnts by 1am, the anatomy asgnt was really long, took me 5 A3 sheets, but i kinda enjoyed drawing feet in the end! Next task was to take a bath coz i dint wana waste time in the morning. so i bathed at 2am, packed my bag n off to bed!
26 th feb'08 : What a day!
6 am..the alarm rang..i was up already! Took a wash and got dressed up. as i was wearing the socks, i heard the sound of our car! Aji told me aba was downstaris, starting the car to drive me to swargate..inspite of me telling him not to. But aba is aba, doesnt listen to anyone. I cud have taken a share rick frm raja ram , but no!
Anyways, i picked up the asgnts and ran downstairs..ofcourse i drove! aba's speed is speedless!
Reached shruti's place at 6.30, woke her up..handed the asgnts and went to swargate right away..had to catch a bus at 7. So i got off the car n aba took over the wheel. There i was at wsargate, a good 20 mins b4 time! Hence i thot i'd sketch for a while..i sketched..n sketched..n
glanced at my watch: 7.21!!!!!! CRAP!!! the bus had left WITHOUT ME!!!!!!!! naaaaaaaa......
And at that very moment aba had to call..kya timing hai!!! i was so pissed and he goes 'bus milali ka?!' aaaaaaaaaaaaehhhhhhhhhhh.....i had missed a direct bus to alibaug. Which meant i had to go to panvel first n change the bus....shit...lot of time that is! Anyways, i was back to conscience, n enquired abt the next bus to panvel. It was at 7.30, thank god! So i climbed in and my journey started...!! The bus left me at a junction on the highway..so now i was supposed to find my way to the bus stand! gr8! It was abt 1km frm there. i took a share rick. reached panvel stand at 10.15 am and alibaug bus was boarded! Sahi...finally! I was smiling now...i cud smell the air..
I enjoyed the bus ride to ' karle khinda'. I did some designs in the bus for my next asgnt, i cudnt afforrd to lose time! I got down at karle khinda junction and our site engineer was there to pick me up, we dont get a rick so often out there! hence mum had sent him..
I was home by 12.. entered the gate, eagerly walked in and ashu saw me! Surprise!!!!!
Her face lit up and so did mine!!! she ran to me with open arms..and gave me a Big Tight hug!! God, life wud be so hopeless without sisters!!! we were only looking at each other and talking through slightly waterey eyes. mum came in. We proceeded to have lunch!
Me n ashu talked so much...abt our present lives, our childhood, the promise we'd made to each other b4 she went to Australia, I had told her never to give up singing n she'd told me never to give up drawing! Well, drawing was just a hobby then, n now its more than life!
But ashu has lost touch with music..i was so dissappointed..art shud always be nourished!
So she made another promise now, saying that she wud restart when shes back to india after a fw yrs!! i was happy..really happy.
we had a great afternoon. We placed the shells in the water place at the entrance of our house, took a walk around the place, chatted on the swing, cleaned and displayed some of my old pot ceramic works...she is so proud for her creative sis..n m proud of my only dearest tai!
All days fun...it was time to part. we packed n started off at 4.30pm. Rohit drove us in our Tata ACE! we 2 were standing behind, singing, ahing and ooohing..as if going for a 'Ganpati Visarjan' as ashu said..lol. aai n ashu got off at chaul phata to go to mumbai while i went ahead to alibaug bus stand. Got a bus at 5, this time a direct one! I felt amazing as i thot of the memorable times of the day!!! Wow! now the air was fresher and cooler. Enjoyed my journey back, also realised i can think of good designing concepts while travelling. may be coz my mind is as fresh as the trees going by and the thoughts run to me like the breeze hiting on my face. Reached pune at 9.30pm. Took a share rick frm swargate and walked home frm raja ram!
What a wonderful day i had spent! i wish i go out on such expeditions atleast once a week!

this long post kind of caught me off-guard. But as I was reading it, I got more engrossed. you know, this definitely won't sound like me, but I'd love to commute with you someday. Maybe I'll have no choice because arjun bhaiya sold the pulsar.
the part where you and ashu meet, reminds me of the summer time when I hugged harsh. read about it here if u want
haha...my biking has improved i'd say...but u shud be wearing a helmet too..just in case..!
