My friends and I decided to go out after college-since we got tremendously bored in class and desired to do sumthing fun... Now picture this, four people in one auto! yep, not a very pretty sight... Even the auto walla, instead of looking at the road, kept on looking at us through his rear view mirror!
Now its completely understandable when foreigners stare in awe at completely jam-packed DTC buses or enthusiastically take pictures of more than two people sitting on bikes, but it was kind of embarassing to notice that a bunch of travelling firangs were nicely pointing fingers at us and nodding sympathetically as if they empathized with our situation!
Anyway, we reached Vasant Vihar Market in one piece and as soon as we get out, we were greeted with a 'Bomb Disposal Squad' Bus or a name something pretty close to that... Oh man, we were so scared... I was literally on the verge of getting into the auto again... but then again, the bus had come just for safety purposes, so my friends calmed me down, and off we were gallivanting into the market... After nearly half hour of contemplating where we should go for lunch, we settled on 'Yo China!' And I must say, there was nothing 'yo!' about it... it sucked... the food was served cold and to top it off, when we complained, the waiters were bloody rude! Haha, somebody wasn't going to get a tip today... so anyway, we had our totally non-delectable meal, had a few laughs, welcomed many frowns and got free fortune cookies... I had read somewhere, that if u read your fortune from a fortune cookie, make sure u end the sentence with 'in bed'.... it somehow adds a new meaning to it and turns out to be more fun... mine said-'It's your turn to be a good samaritan (in bed)'...hehe... for those who don't know what a 'good samaritan' means, it means 'a person who voluntarily offers help in times of trouble'.... GO FIGURE! Of course, I hope such an incident never arises :P.... Anyhow, after that, we guys went off to do some shopping-that was fun... couldn't catch a movie because the movie's time didn't suit us [dammit]... After that, I took a bus back home, and returned home with an splitting headache. When my dad opened the door for me, I was greeted with a huge lick on my face, courtesy-my dog, who was evidently extremely happy to see me... He followed me around like a little puppy after that... I turned on my computer, listened to music and here I am , writing yet another account of my life... so, how was your day?
