Day 27 - Went to Johnny Rockets!

 Today I woke up by 8:00am, because, vacation. Cold wind hit me. I had worn a thermal, and on top of that a sweater, and also did don a full sleeved tee. I lazily got up from bed, and got all freshened up, for breakfast. I had a brilliant breakfast which consisted of Puri and a pea gravy. I had a lot of Puri’s and enjoyed every bite. 3/4^th of my meal was just gulping it down, because it was that tasty. There was a plan to go out, but nobody was sure.

Next thing I know, I was in the car heading towards the mall. I was going to buy some winter clothes, because I believe in Mumbai. Why don’t I have winter clothes? Because Mumbai, according to me, have only 3 weather types. Summer, Rain, Less rain, Less Summer, Pleasant, summer - and the cycle continues. Hence, mall. I did reach, I did go up the staircase, and I did buy some clothes. I got myself a jacket, a sweater and a pant/I don’t know what it’s called, but it’s a lower. After this, my father got himself a sweater, and we were out of the store.

Hungry we were. We went near the food court, and then reached an American food joint, Johnny Rockets. I had never eaten here, and didn’t even know that this joint was here. I, excited, went in and got a table. It was a very fancy, American themed place (Will post review tomorrow on www.amiteshspeaks.blogspot.in.) I had a Philly cheese steak, and a slider, shared by other family members. Great food. Great staff. Poor service. After food we came back home.

I was mainly in my room, watching TV and doing my homework. Then, my uncle came to visit. There were a lot of laughs, talks and discussion about watches, as he had to buy one. FlipKart gave us nothing. Once he went, dinner. Dinner was the same as yesterday. After dinner, I sat down to write this. Now, after an upload, I will watch some TV, then some YouTube, and then get myself some sleep.

P.S - I may not do something interesting tomorrow, so I may not post a daily post. I will post a Johnny Rockets. 

Day 26 – Freezing and daily blogging.

I did announce that I will continue blogging, and I don’t like breaking promises. I woke up at 5:40am, regarding my flight was at 9:00. I was all up and in the vehicle by 6. I reached the airport by 8. I was scared that I would be late, realizing that the flight was half an hour delayed. Nevertheless, I rushed through security and was rushing towards the gate. As I went towards the gate, I ignored the signs because I thought I was right. A hint – never do that. I was at the wrong gate. I dashed through the passageway and towards A7, my gate in actuality.

Nothing to eat! I was searching for something, and worrying about my flight at the same time. It was 9. And I still hadn’t boarded. So I thought, why not go up top and quickly get a bite. I bought a spinach and corn sandwich, and the moment I sat down near my gate and was about to open the sandwich, I heard my flight being called. I gobbled up the sandwich and stood in line. I was in the plane, and guess what, the time was 9:28. In my mind I was thinking that how will the flight be on time. I was delayed by another hour.

I finally got out of the airplane, and the flight was nice. I flew Air India, and ate Veg(not by choice). It was my first time flying alone, and it was great. So easy it is.

I landed, got my baggage and out of the airport. As I stepped out, a gush of chilly wind hit me. It was really cold. Thankfully, I had taken a precaution and worn a thermal, inside of a full sleeve t-shirt, and on top of that a jacket. Still cold. 13 Degrees when I landed. I was in the car, calling family members, notifying me that I have reached. I finally got out of the airport, and was on the way home.

Lunch was in-fact great. I had the normal chicken and bread, but something interesting also. I had fried cauliflower. It’s the best crisps I’ve had in some time. I later slept and slept for long.

Here it is. Cauliflower - Fried. 

I went out to meet some relatives, and because it was also the birthday of my two younger brothers. There was a cake cutting, and some snacks. I and my father later went home and had the same chicken and bread for dinner. Followed by that was some candy. After uploading, sleep is what I want. Again.

Day 25 - Homemade Pizza.

Yesterday was a bash, and today waking up in the morning bashed me. So tired, I was. Dragging myself from the bed into the washroom, was seeming like a long race track.

I felt really fresh in the bus though, probably because of the 10 minute long shower I took, and how accidentally soap went into my eyes, waking me up completely. I continued reading the lost symbol, and reached school, finding the lost symbol.

The day began with a mathematics class, in which we were asked to draw column vectors, on graphs. I suck at drawing, I’m extremely bad at it. I did have to do it anyways, because – student. After this class was the English class, in which we were asked to complete last class’ homework because nobody did it. And did I do it? No. So even I, was writing. Just like I am now! And 40 minutes later, I was eating.

I ate a pizza today, which was edible, but not good. People who made fun of me, who are you? Anyways, I ate and then did nothing. Until the bell rang, and I was called for practise.

I had rehearsals over rehearsals. No break in the middle all together for 2 hours. Then, yeah, I was free until school ended.

The afternoon went in revising column vectors with the tuition teacher, in which I was brilliant. After 2 happy hours of arithmetic, I went to sleep until 6.

I was hungry the moment I got up, and decided to make a pizza. I did, and it was delicious.

The night went in editing my second post for She, which is going to go up on 8/12/14. In case you haven’t read it, go to www.thedifferentamitesh.wordpress.com to check It out. Dinner was chicken in Cashew puree and Indian Flatbread. After this upload, sleep is what i'm going to enjoy. 

Day 24 - Party. Semi - Formal Casual. Still fun.

Nothing in the morning was special, just the daily routine. (I just want something unusual to happen one fine day, but a positive thing) The same tying of the shoe laces, the same packing of the back, the same hustle and bustle advancing to the bus stop, and the same bus. But, this time was different. In the shadow of the night came a compact bus, as if it shrunk. Slowly, I proceeded to this bus, and just hoping to get a seat. With gratitude, the conductor had offered me the front seat, because we’re friends. Reading the lost symbol, I made the move to school.

The school had finally allowed the all students going by elevators, because I think they finally realized that it’s tuff. I reached the glass, and we started commenting about this south Indian action film we had seen, and how it’s action scene was gravity defying. After a heated discussion on how scientifically inaccurate this movie was, the bell rang and studies had started. For others. I was free this class. The next class was Economics, wherein we revised and solved a question model paper. Finally, Mathematics. No more trigonometry or sets. Vectors. New topic, still not exactly fun. Really boring, because very easy. After boring math, break had commenced.

Now, just practise. Today I had continuous 1 hour of practise, in which the props incoming and outgoing, the actor positions, and the final dialogue delivery was decided. Practise got over at 10:30AM, and I was free for the next 4 hours, and 60% of my friends were engaged with their respective skits, roles, dances et cetera. Today I think god was with me, so I got friends to be with me, as teachers were busy and practise was kind of put to an end for the day. Why you think? Because the day ended.

(Did nothing in the afternoon, except sleep.)

The evening was here. 6:00PM. One hour until my mothers’ friends had come for a dinner get together. I also was with them. Great fun, and as everybody were scientists, I got to learn about a lot of stuff. There was a feast. Veg, Non-Veg, everything. What not. Great time.

Smoked Gouda. 

Mushroom and some random Veggie. 

"Aaj Kuch Toofani Karte Hai."

Potato Patty. 

It’s late for the post, because being in a party and not enjoying it, is not my forte. 

Day 23 - The New Blog!

I was up this morning annoyed by the sound of my mother’s alarm clock ringing away with its speakers blaring out this noisy air-horn. Disturbed, I got out from my heaven at night (my bed), and got out of the house after getting ready. I was in the bus, and started the Lost Symbol, by Dan Brown. I really am into his books.

I reached school, and today my friend convinced me not to do the workout, because he is lazy. Anyway, I reached the class and was shocked. Studies today. The first class was free, because the teacher hadn’t come to school today. So, I spent 40 minutes on The Lost Symbol. Interesting literature. Then came English, in which we wrote an informal and formal letter. As if I can’t write a letter. Anyways, I did do my assignment. Finally came the physics class, in which the students are physically out. There is no energy in the class, but the class is always interesting. New stuff to learn. We were also given more homework. (Why). And then, came the break time.

After the lunch break stuff is quite boring. Nothing to do. I and 3 of my other buddies were just talking about stuff, and random things like the petrol prices, and then jumped to the topic of ghosts. (Even I don’t know how that happened) Apart from that, the rest of the people were dancing, and I wasn’t in the dance. So, free.

This was the whole day about to end in school, and I had done nothing except a skit practise. The day had now ended, I was home, and tuition commenced.

Tuitions had ended. I was bored and up. Awake, and nothing to do. I really wanted to write a romantic story for quite some time, and I planned one. Soon, I began writing part 1. (Even you can read the part 1, at www.thedifferentamitesh.wordpress.com). The whole evening had gone finalizing and making my new blog and stuff. Soon, it was dinner time. The dinner for today was Idly and Vada, with masala and coconut chutney. Now after writing this, I will upload, and then have a good sleep.    

Day 22 - Cycled for 20 kilometres! And also started reading new books!

I’m sorry there were no posts for the past 3 days, it’s just that all these days went into doing nothing, only Annual Day and tuition, including some extra homework the teachers give because we’re missing academics (why ruin my dreams). Anyway, I wake up non cranky, be fresh and see the new TVF video. There were no books to carry for me, because the I.C.T book I needed, was resting in my locker.

I reached school, while reading the Da Vinci Code, by Dan Brown. I am hooked to it, and I find it great literature. I have the new cover, which I find better than the previous one (Which cover do you like the most? The new one or the old one? Comment below). The workout was again dodged, because of me going by the elevator. Most of the elevator time went into thinking about the book.

I.C.T time. I continued excelling at excel, and I finished all of the exercises. Now I could continue reading my book, again. In 1 day, I finished 27 chapters, which I felt was an accomplishment. After this, I moved back to annual day, and did a table read with the actors. After 45 minutes of dialogue delivery, break.

I had south Indian food today, which included Idli and Wada, which is a rice cake sort of thing and a deep fried cake or something of that sort respectively (leave your definitions in the comments below). I had quite a lot today, so did not have other tiffin boxes.

The whole day went into rehearsing, and when I was free, I began flipping the pages to this classic. It’s one good book. Slowly, the day was coming to an end. And it ended.

I was free this evening, so I thought to take out my cycle. By 4:00 in the afternoon, I took it out for some repairs, and by 4:30 was out, planning out a friends meet. They were also free, and we made a plan for cycling together.

We couldn’t find each other, because there was a miscommunication. I was standing in front of a blue board with the same brand, whereas my friends were standing in front of a red board with the same brand. You must’ve gotten the rest. Moving on, we reached a lake, where we did off road dirt cycling, which wasn’t at all fun for my cycle. It’s 2 years old, and meant for stuff like daily commute. Its mud guard broke off. I wasn’t let down by that, and I continued. The annoying and cracking sound of the mud guard had also accompanied my friends to the end of the journey.

One of my friends left, and only 2 of us were here. My house was really far from his place, and we had reached his place. I went to his home, rested, and was out for mine. It was really far. But after struggles and a sore body, I reached home.

I had realised that I had cycled for 20 kilometres today, which was massive. I was shocked myself. I think the sore body was a clue that I had had some extreme exercise. Tomorrow, I’m going to have to give my cycle for servicing, so I’ll just go for a jog tomorrow. After editing this and having my Rajma Rice, which is my dinner, I will have a peaceful sleep, because I’m extremely tired.

Day 21 - Wetlands Conservation Gathering!

I thought I would get at the most a day to sleep and relax. But instead, I had to go see wetlands. That’s right, I had gone to represent my school at a wetlands conservation, near my school only. So, I woke up, got ready, and was out the house for school.

I reached school and was greeted by a surprise. My school ground is getting turf! Yes, now football will be fun. I can’t really play, but I’m new to the game, means it’ll take me time. Just some advice, if you are trying to get new into the game and talk about this to somebody who knows football, be prepared for getting them to laugh at you, because apparently, you’re too stupid to get to know the game. Well, you just ignore, and do what you want. Anyways, we were soon boarded into the bus and out for the walk by the wetlands.

We reached there, where we got placards to walk around with, which I gave to someone else. The whole walk was fun because I was with my friends, alone on this path would be very boring. We saw a lot of interesting stuff on the way, like wild cucumber, a jack fruit, and how the weather becomes cool and pleasant once we get closer to the mangroves. It was nice to know a lot about it by the guide, who was a very kind person, and knew a lot about wetlands. We walked the whole time, took some pictures of me, and then went for the short conference/meeting/gathering/call it whatever you want to.

My friends from my school were asked to tell the audience about something on wetlands, which they did, and they spoke really well. After their speech, the meeting had ended, and we had a little snack. The snack was a pocket mango juice, a veg puff, a couple of biscuits and a cake piece. Then, we went home.

I reached home, really tired. I just made myself some 2 minute noodles, and was fast asleep right after eating them.

I woke up at 7, hungry. I went out and got myself a little snack. Some crisps, 200ml of Coca Cola, and a small biscuit packet. I later came back to the housing complex, talked with some friends, and went back home.

The night was dinner time. Todays dinner was Mutton curry and fried Indian bread, which is always fun to eat. I then saw some of that’s 70’s show. After uploading, I’ll just go to sleep.
