i have filled my blog entries mostly with topics that are of interest to me. i would like to give this entry a change. i would like to blog about the recent days of my life.
my parents left for a 2 month vacation on july 27th. due to the scorching heat, the site timing has been changed to 0500-1200 hours. its a bit tough to get up early morning, get dressed and then sleep for one hour through the journey to ras laffan. along-with work, i would read 'times of india', download songs, chat with friends. he he...
i reach back home by 1230 hours. either i heat up the food that i prepare on fridays (mostly chicken / mutton masala that might last for 3-4 days) and have it with 'quboos' or i fire up a sadia chicken burger in an arirang bun greased with mayo-chilli. i would then go through the manorama newspaper. my cousin nithin would drop by 1330. we would chat, murder some rothmans and catch up on any english movie being shown on cable. he would leave by 1500 hours. then, i would watch any movie on my dell or the 34gb-10 seasons-244 episodes of record-breaking american sitcom 'friends' that nithin had given me. i would then have a 90 minute nap.
in the evenings, if i am alone i would continue with my oil paintings of raja ravi varma or try out some songs on my guitar. most of the days, my friend ninesh drops by. we might have some fosters or whisky.
i might wound up my day by reading some book or listening to some ghazals. i am currently reading 'the tin drum' by gunther grass.
on thursdays, i go out for a movie. i will have some drinks and sleep late. i get up real late on fridays. i do my washing, preparing of food and clean up the house. then i have a real slow bath and sit down for lunch. the evenings would be spend with friends.
that sums up most of my days.
