Happy Thanksgiving!
Now that I go to city daily,the travel is long,it takes me about 2 hours from home to work,in which i spend most of the time in the train.This has made me read books which i never thought i would!I used to read a few novels once in a while but now my life is up side down without a book i am not able to manage in the train.:)Strange!
Train commute is definitely good in a lot of ways,going out, little bit of exercise and a quality time for urself(this definitely includes the quality time sudhar spends without me all for himself because he comes home early and I come in late).The fun of watching people in the train is always there.One such incident happenned on wednesday,all the trains were late because of some power failure,I could get into the 5.56pm at 6.15pm,it was jam packed,defintiely reminded me of the mumbai local and the chennai metro.As it was very corweded i couldnt read my book but somehow got a corner seat along with 3 more people,out of which one was a gujrati woman,one american thatha and one more abcd boy.All of us were quite ,but the thatha couldnt sit quite for long , he started speaking to few women in the opposite seat showing his grand daughter’s photos.Talking proudly about her and telling them things hse does.The boy was busy over the phone and te gujju aunty slept.But suddenly she woke up and started calling someone, till now i thought how sweet and calm she is but the moment she said HALLO! i got shocked,it was so raw and harsh,she spoke to someone probably her son or daughter and asked them about their evening cup of tea and hung up.Now was this thatha’s turn,he started telling us about his Girlfriend.The abcd boy told us about his apt in manhattan and that its only 3 blocks away from his work.Now was aunty’s turn she siad she has newly joined Investor’sBank as IT Consultant and all these years she was with AT&T I couldnt believe her.Anyway!
My journey came to an end I was going to meet Sudhar at metropark instead of Somerville because we had to go shopping, Ranjini/Arvind were coming over the weekend.
We happily came home around 10.Ranjini Arvind cancelled their plans because of the snow,but we had Babu athimber coming in, he reached home in the aft around 3 after his hectic journey in njtransit.:)
I had work yesterday,athimber started in the morning,and Sudhar spent a quality time shopping,and freaked out :).Enjoying his day he was wiaitng eagerly for me to come home to show what all he purchased.The list was endless.:).
Happy Thanksgiving!
