dilli update

Yes, it is WHY. Didn't know that would trigger such a discussion. My sister's lappy wasn't letting me write the subject in english. And now my lappy dearest is refusing to let me reply to comments.

It is almost 5AM and I haven't slept yet. Maybe I am suffering from the lag that comes with jetting across the world. I just came back from my next door cousin's room. I was with her since 11PM or something. We usually had long chatting sessions at dusk in the balcony. It was nice to talk to her tonight in the privacy of a room, and at length. We saw lots of short films, bitched about our classmates, and family (my favorite subject), talked about friends and relationships, parents, ate chicken kabab macaroni and chocolate pound cake with coke, and brainstormed for a film that we want to make this summer. Did I mention that she is six years younger to me?

So there was some more shopping today - the very expensive kind. Finally spoke to some friends - Sunshine is still in Bangalore, and is going to make me wait some more. SS is around and free, but I'm going to make her wait some more. Sumi is busy, but I will meet her very soon - probably Friday or Saturday. Until then, my life is dedicated to family, Karan Johar style.

Didn't meet the Beanie and Brat today - but did see the "mad house" from downstairs. I don't know them personally, but my sis does. So we might meet them today (I mean Thursday, since I can hear birds chirping).

I don't know how long this 'it's all about loving your family' phase will last. It's not nice to be around them, and have so much love for them, and see them not getting along with each other. My family is in a real mess right now. Everyone is full of repressed anger. Communication has always been a problem with my family - especially about sensitive/emotional issues. And now things just seem to be getting worse, and no one's making the effort to repair the damage. I told sis today that the whole family should get counseling. They really need it. They need mediation of some sort. I would love to help but doesn't seem like I can. I did try talking to Mom today. I'm afraid of saying too much, something I tend to do very often. I'm afraid of hurting them when I'm here only for a short while. I'm afraid I don't understand the situation or it's solution very well. I just know that something needs to be done.

My parents want me to accompany them to Manali for a couple of days, for religious purposes. It is a really stupid idea to go there just for 2 days to meet some one who is going to be in Delhi after a month. But somehow I couldn't get myself to say no. I have never done this - given in so easily. But it just seems like the right thing to do. I'm just afraid that my parents will keep pushing me further up the religious path, if I continue being this pushable.

The roads - Delhi roads - don't seem to recognize me. I'm afraid to drive here. Seems like I'm very afraid since I got back. I should stop blogging when I'm sleep deprived.

Oh, Apple B wanted to know more about Baby T. Umm...where should I begin?! He is a brat, but a really cute one. He has a great sense of humor - he laughs out loud every time he sneezes, burps, or farts. He likes to throw everything on the floor and then picks it up to put it back in place (doesn't work, but he tries). He likes to lift everything to look at what's under it - no matter how big or small it is. He says "ant" when he sees one, and follows it around. He crosses speed limits when he crawls, especially if I'm troubling him. He imitates everything, and mutters random syllables. His sleeping pose is two fingers of his left hand in his mouth, and the right hand on some one's eye! No matter how strange, and nonsensical it seems, that is how he sleeps. He likes to eat fruit - all kinds. He is very clingy around his parents, and scratches his other people's faces when he gets excited. He bites when he's angry. He pretend cries when he doesn't get his way. He loves mobile phones - especially smashing them on the floor. He loves TV remotes for the same reason, and also because he likes watching TV. He is really spoilt, and there is no one to discipline him within a thousand mile radius (yes, I said mile!). Hopefully, tomorrow, after he is deprived of his seductive locks, he will be treated as any other kid.

Laptop battery is dying, and the convertor for the charger is a pain, so as T would say...Ba Bye
