College was fun! yes, i have written it right. We sketched on the terrace 2day till 11.30 and it was amazing! mr.ghasu is changing into mr. 'finally m on track'. we made around 5 sketches. i also posed 2day, reminded me of silica(art class in bombay). i was tempted to do more but no backing. sir said he liked the way i used my stokes to make suggestive drawings without going too much in detail. he also showed my sketches to a few students.
anyways, i left at 12 and called up pranav to make sure hes at his room, so i cud drop his stuff. i went there, to see yash waiting downstairs. he was looking nice and fresh, that cheered me up. then he told me he'd come to college at 11 and left a paper chit on my bike.. but i dint find it..! who cares, we met anyways!
at home, spoke to isaac 2day. hes sucked into life... but m happy hes doing what he believes in. in the afternoon, i took a good 2 hour nap. woke up at around 5.30. i was dead bored! i wanted to hangout but none of my frnz were really available...actually i wanted to go sketching or even painting...but i wanted company...i was sulking.. and then my second personality took over and i set out alone. i was singing on the bike. had to buy some material at venus and stuff. came back home at 8.30 .. spoke to yash for some time and now m scanning some of the sketches i did 2day. also i need to think about a story and make a story board for 2moro...lets c what my brain comes up with..as of now m totally blank..!

kay honar ya mulacha?!
3.30 pm. I was woken by the sound of aai n sidd talking to each other in their own sweet high pitches. I was lying down in the living room. They were going all around me. It was so annoying. I turned around and suddenly mum comes to me and asks, “kay karu ya mulacha?!” I just said keep me out of this.
What actually happened- Sidd forgot his project at the bus stop in the morning. It has to be submitted by 2moro and he has to do it all over again now. Mum scolded him badly and then out of tension, she began crying while sidd told the great news laughing. The fellow has his exam from Wednesday and does not study as per mum’s expectation i.e. least required to pass! Hes so not bothered. All he wants to do is play sports all day.
Anyways, I walked no, I dragged myself to the room in desperation to get out of there. Reached for the cell phone, 2 missed calls from yash and a msg too. I called him back. But, by that time pranav had made stories about me being mad at him etc..so he was worried. I wudnt say pranav was totally wrong. Last 2 days, when we were together ,yash was in his own world. i realise we have like 2 months together and i wanna make 2 good memorable months out of them. Anyways, but as we were talking on the phone, he says he thot of coming over to my place but with all the above story happening , I cudnt welcome him to see my upset face and listen to fights. I also forgot I was upset with him…he is like a change from home stuff. I feel relaxed when I talk to him. So I never really talk about myself but only listen to his voice, which I love!
Oh, have to go help sidd now! Shit! I don’t believe m gonna do this. That idiot is playing outdoors and mum wants me to find information for his project…and with her ‘full of emotions’ face, I cant say a NO!!! seriously, kay honar ya mulacha?!

baby sitting eshu n anu
12th july 08
Woke up at 8. me and aji were sitting on the swing as usual when manisha aatya called. She and rattan aji were to attend a marriage and the kids dint wanna go. So she asked if I cud baby sit eshaan and anusha for about 3 hours. I so wanted to say no but duty calls baby! They love their tai coz shes into arty stuff and keeps them busy. So there I was at ratan aji’s place making drawings with blow pens. Eshaan made an island with coconut trees and anusha made a butterfly. Then we had pasta for lunch and sat swinging talking about funny old movies. That led us to our plan for the evening- watch ‘dunston checks in’ . but we did not find that dvd!
So we thot we’ll make a glass painting, but we dint have the material so its planned for Sunday.
Caught up with jayu and dhaval in the evening. Dhaval looked fatter and jayu thinner! As usual they were eating when we met. We walked through vile parle..met some ptvians on the way who did their best to convince us to go to the reunion, but in vain! Actually, since we (me and jayu) were very low profile in school, we aren’t that keen on attending the reunion. Anyways, we came home and I showed them the pictures we took at alibaug and further on our trip. Me and jayu had a good time making dhaval jealous but it seems he was more worried about his tutions at 8.15pm. so him and jayu left soon. Jayu came back after dropping him at the station and we made plans for Sunday.
At night, Isaac called up to make sure I was in Mumbai when he came, so we cud meet. Its been almost a month we last met. Yes, I have been missing Isaac and mohini a lot for last 2 weeks especially. I missed them on the trip, at pune, at alibaug… we did keep in touch on the phone but hanging out with them has become like an all time thing. some frnz are so unique, no one can take their place! C u soon guys…

3rd Root canal
11th july 08
The 3rd root canal in the same mouth. I don’t recollect the one that happened when I was 14, but today’s was the worst for sure. The doc drilled into my nerve with that terrific sound making device and all I did was shut my eyes real deep, crumbled the plastic cloth in my left hand and tightly grabbed the handle on the right with all the power I cud, rubbed my toes over one another and prayed. M not very sure whats wrong with me, but it seems 2 shots of anaesthesia did not manage to do any wonders on my tooth.
After a while, half my mouth was all numb, which was great. Finally! But root canal is a complete horror. There are these tiny files that they insert into the root and clean it. It actually feels like carpentry work is being done on your tooth and u can not feel the pain but the movements and the noises create a super frightening experience. It took one hour for the cleaning. My month was stuck open. The corners of my lips were paining badly. Lastly, she (dentist) asked me to rinse off, which was a task coz I cudnt feel half my mouth. So most of the water spilt out and I managed to ‘rinse off’ with the little left. I was bad. Anyways, she then laid some fibre-like thingys into the root and filled it up. I cud see with one half eye, but the instruments dint look nice so I decided to keep that half eye closed too.
All done, I’ll get my tooth cap on Monday evening. And I’ll also get the bill that day! Earlier she used to send it to mum straight away, but now since she isn’t here, I’ll have to pay it from my account. Dentist’s bill always digs a big pit in pocket, and with teeth like mine… even the doc made fun of me saying- every year one root canal, by next 30 years, all ur teeth wud be fake! Duh!
Anyways, staying here with aji-ajoba is the most relaxing part of all this. Aji is the best cook and she is so happy that I am here! She says, now we can make bhel and pani puri at home, which otherwise she doesn’t coz its only the 2 of them. But aji loves such food. We also made ‘amba barfi’. it tastes awesome! The colour and sweetness is just perfect..yummy…

ashu's wedding....
...and i dont have anything nice to wear! i am fat, very fat. i surf through mum's sarees and pick one. its peacock blue coloured with some peacock motifs on it. mild saree but i love it. i try wrapping that 5 yard thing around me like 3-4 times, but i fail. i call mum to help me out...she quickly dresses me up. now i realize i do not have any jewellery. so i go hunting in my old drawer if i can find blue bangles or something...i spot them, red, orange, blue, some pink?! anyways i stretch my arm to get them and .............cuff cufff.... my eyes opened. i was lying in my bed. there wasnt any drawer in front and i was under my blanket. it was 7am.
how the hell did my mind drift to ashu's wedding??!! how? why? the dream was horrible. a. i was fat. b. i was wearing a saree. c. it was happening at my place in bombay. weird. by the time ashu gets married, that place wud be demolised. so theres no way the dream is coming true.
but something more funny happened after that. when i signed into gtalk late this morning, ashu was online! and we talked so much about her wedding, my wedding, our family.... it was very relaxing and fun... she told me about the saree colours a maharashtrian bride wears, yellow and green! to which i reacted i wud have a theme wedding- like an African dress code, or Hawaiian. she loved the idea..and we started fantacising my wedding...ah!

who... me?
It all started when gretta called in the middle of the evening, “ M coming in 5 mins, pacca!” she repeated my dialogue in that teaser tone. I had said that to her on 26th june when she'd called me to the office to sign a few papers. Obviously I dint turn up coz I completely forgot about it and she decided to haunt me today after 12 days! Well, I have now promised I’d be there on 11th july morning. She cooled down only when I assured I’d bring bakarwadi, kachoris and karanjis for all the staff!!! Yeah, that’s how they treat their boss’s daughter…like family…they’d wasool this everytime I forget to send my expenses or sign the vouchers.
While all this conversation was happening, mum was sitting right in the front. When I was done with gretta, she stared. “ that day, I told u to inform aji we’ll be home by 8pm and have waran bhat. U only told her we’ll be home by 8.30 and left hurriedly.” I was lost again. I am the last person u’d wanna rely on to transfer phone msgs… all this made me think of many a times that I have forgotten to give msgs to manda aji from her frnz when she’d be out of the house. And only when they appeared in front of me or called back wud I remember that they had called. They’d curse me for it!
The other day, jayu was in pune and I had promised pranju to meet up the day before. Jayu and I spent the whole day together and I completely forgot to call pranju, infact I remembered when she msgd me in the night.
Now, as I search thru the different types of amnesia, m unable to state my kind so I’ll just invent one for my sake- lets call it, sujuz amnesia. Yes, that’s the defect m living with…the ability to forget msgs.
