This is just plain ridiculous***
Weekends are such a relief from mundane days of commute, office and work! Not that my weekdays are not fun (make up your mind girl!), but I eagerly look forward to weekends. This time, saturday witnessed me staying at home (shocking!) and indulging in cleaning (even more shocking!)
Ok the last statement makes me look sloppy, but trust me I'm not. I just tend to be moody about such matters unless crudely awakened... umm I just realised this is not helping me in looking unsloppy :D
looking to salvage but I assure you when you come to my home it'll be spic and span.
Coming back to what I was saying... I stayed at home and cleaned up and spent the remaining part of the day watching movies. Calm, relaxed.
Then later in the day, we bought tennis rackets! Planning to join some tennis club next month, and in an effort to get all fit before I start with that, I also bought skipping rope *huff puff huff puff* :D
Come sunday, and we went bowling. What fun! This is what always happens with me - I go with a group, start off with a bang (like I'm on fire), everyone gets intimidated, I bloat like a balloon (buffoon), and end up hitting less pins with every passing chance :( People can easily talk me up and put me on a pedestal and I end up losing concentration. Darn! I blame them, not me!!! And to think it was my hubby and bro-in-law this time :(
Ok enough with the drama already :) We had good fun. Then we went on a long drive, and it rained. Lovely!
Today:
I was reading a newspaper, and there was an article about Sonia Gandhi calling up Atal Bihari Vajpayee and "pleading" with him to support them in UPA govt.'s choice of Rajasthan Governor Pratibha Patil as the next presidential candidate. Seems she said to him, "Maine aapse kabhi kuch nahi maanga, aaj pehli baar maang rahi hu." To which Mr. Vajpayee replies, "Humne to apko desh de diya hai, ab aur kya denge."
HAHAHAHAHAHAHHAAHA. Really man, this comment was sick. It seems like an attempt to have a standing in front of her, which is totally uncool and very BJP-isque attitude. What.ev.er.
Then I read that a German tourist, Marc Strollreiter, has taken the cudgels in his own hands and has started cleaning the Dal lake. For those who don't know whats it, its a beautiful lake in the Indian state of Jammu and Kashmir. Its a major tourist spot and has lovely house boats and is called Paradise on Earth. But lately, its in a sorry state thanks to the rising pollution levels. The German promptly sprung into action, joined hands with NGOs, rounded up some 50 volunteers and started cleaning up the lake. By noon, they'd cleared the lake of tonnes of garbage, polythene bags, plastic bottles etc. Remember, it was a German tourist, not the authorities (yes there's a special board set up to monitor the pollution levels in the lake and maintain the lake) who took up this task. What a tight slap on their faces!
India's reaching great heights in many fields and is a stiff competitor to many developed countries, but in some depts., theres lot of work left to do. Its easy to blame the govt., but we should take up the responsibility on ourselves too. I can go on and on, but I'd rather not. I'll end up all defensive and aggressive. Not now.
*** having to think of a title everytime, that is.
