Weekend, spent quality time wid Parents

After more than a couple of months in Delhi, i decided to go to Jaipur last weekend. Despite it being a busy weekend for Mom and Bhabi, i decided to go ahead with the plan,
A)Because i was feeling a lil homesick
B) My Naniji is here from Indonesia, and she visits very occasionally so had to catch up with her
C) Wanted to spend some time with Bhabi too.

Missed my Bus to Jaipur - I was scheduled to leave office by 6 and catch the Delux Bus at 6.15, but to my surprise all buses 9 were booked and my booking bore a waiting of 20 which unlike Railways is impossible to achieve in Buses. I decided that i wd nt waste anytime waitin for the Bus and headed straight to the Highway to try my luck. I had actualy gone there to catch a Bus which had a single occupancy but standing there i took lift from in the fst 5 minutes from a Scorpio, which had 6 men going to my destination.

I was squeezed in the middle in the middle seat which i hate teh most, and 5 minutes down the road the guys took out whisky and beer bottles. At fst i had thought that these guys might b strangers to one another and the driver mite have picked them up from some place, but i later found out that they were al togerther and the only stranger among them was ME. I started to feel uncomfortable coz of more than 1 reason, but kept my mouth shut coz i was having a different kind of fun, the fun of unknown. The car was running at the highway at not less than 110-120 kmph, and the adrenalline of al those nearing old age guys was quite impecable. They talked less, drank more and were not so bad as i was thinking they cd have been. Later i learned that these guys were businessmen who visited Delhi for collections every week. I was offered some drink too which per the first rule of travelling in said no. They had a bet amongst them that if the driver cd take us to Jaipr in less than 3 and a half hrs, then one of them wd treat all of them nd vice versa so it was a good bargain for me since i get to be home early and fast. And as was decided and gamble on we made it to Jaipur at 11.15 pm, and i was home after 10 mins.

Mom's and Bhabi's Exhibition- It was a small hall which had less than 20 stalls, each one of them offering something unique or the other. Mom and Bhabi as naive businessmen had marked up everything that they were offering by at least 40-50%, so when i went i changed things a bit and there was an overwhelming response specially on the designer mat front. My mom was flattered by my marketing skills and it boosted her confidence too. Sat and Sun both went in the exhibition and we did spare some time for each other during the night by playing cards and talking abt anything and everuything in family news.
