Life is unpredictable

Its 6:55 monday evening I am sitting with pepsi in my favorite glass in my living room alone next to the glass doors that lead to porch outside nd listening to tera hone laga hoon from ajab prem ki gajab kahani nd writing this post........... Why so much description? because i want to capture this moment forever.

Today is the 3rd day of October break.......2morrow break is coming to an end :(
Its funny how unexpected things in ur life make you happy. Few days back I was planning to go to chicago to spend fall break with my cousin and had actually managed to get a ride for $25 bucks. But then one 'fine' night had a 'fight' with mom nd the whole plan came crashing down. Here I need to stress, why this fight was important.......... usually i am a very obedient girl and I seriously do not remember ever having a serious fight with momma. And after the whole drama which ended in me being miserable finally I was not going to Chicago...........(I seriously do not know why the memories in my life which i want to capture have somewhere mention of Chicago in them).

So when my cousin came to know this he decided to drive all the way to lafayette to meet us(Really very very sweet of him). I was pretty much excited about him coming here. He came here around 12:30(i guess) and we went directly to have lunch. Options were between chinese and indian cuisine...........nd shefali got to decide(I dont remember why though?) and we went to bombay to have a buffet there. Took a while to find the parking (the funniest thing was we drove all the way back to williamsburg to find a parking place, better idea was to walk but....)nd then we parked somewhere near university and went there.(And no i did not eat any animal here, still that fish is the only time i have ever had non-veg till now :)). I wanted to show him the university, my school and lab where i work.......good idea was again to walk but i dunno he wanted to drive so i showed him from outside my school nd couldn't show him my lab coz again we could not find a suitable parking place......... and while trying to find parking we ended being close to walmart so we went there for grocery shopping. Best thing about ur cousin having car is that there is no limit on things you can buy bcoz u do not need to carry them. Guess how much was the bill around $170. (OMG I have spent around Rs.10000 on grocery shopping that's too much glad to have funding man seriously!!!!!!!!!!). Had really fun time with him.

Next day sunday.........its shopping time again off to tipp mall. To tell you truly I always considered myself as someone who hated to shop. I had gone along with siddharth and shefali to buy hoodies. Initially we went to Macys to check out some jackets which shefali wanted to buy. Selected one but obviously she wanted to check out in other stores before finalizing on to this one.......... So as we were about to leave I decided do some window shopping and what do i find T-shirts for 5 bucks too good and obviously i got one for myself. Then went to aerostaple to get hoodies again what do I find here 70% flat off on some t-shirts again here we go checking them out (what is the need for me to do this i dunno) and loved this black one and so buy it. Whats wrong with me? It is usually shefali who ends up buying more stuff not me!!!!!!!!! Here I found a shopaholic in me. Came back home and guess who was here...... R. And well had so much fun I do not want to mention the reason of our entertainment............. I wanted to play TT with R and we were not able to decide the timing as to when to meet today. So in the end he got pissed and said monday morning 9:00 am and I was like fine. We matched timings in our cell and it was decided that we will wait till 9:01 am and go back home if one of us does not turn up. Well a challenge............. I am on for it.

So here comes monday morning(i.e. today) got up early 8.00 and got ready by 8.55. Left home at 8.59 and reached the place dot @ 9.00. What do i see nobody there was happy coz I thought now he has lost the challenge but guess what by 9.01 he was there. He came running but made it before 9.01. So here we went off to play TT. He is a pretty good player and obviously I lost most off the matches......... but it was totally fun............ fundoo.

Its amazing how sometimes your plan does not work out but still you end up being very happy because somebody up there has something else planned for you which may turn out to be much better. It is fun because Life is unpredictable.
