Homewards!

I leave tomorrow morning for home, on a one week vacation. I'll be there till 22 August by which time:

• India will have celebrated her 62nd Independence Day.
  
  
  
  
• I will have gone through a thorough medical check up because I haven't been on my best health ever since I returned to the Cram City in April.
  
  
  
  
• I will have frequented the nearest KFC outlet multiple times.
  
  
  
  
• I will have started doing math, seriously.
  
  
  
  
• I will have played The Sims 3 for hours.
  
  

In other news, New Delhi is under swine flu scare. My mother, being the nervous little soul that she is, called me up yesterday warning me about it. At one point she suggested that I cancel the trip, which prompted me to give her the well heard one-liner:

"Now, Mom, a million people have died from AIDS yet no one wants to wear a condom. Ten die from swine flu and everybody wants to wear a mask?"

This was followed by a flustered pause at her end, punctuated by my chuckles.

Oh, come on now, Mom, we both know that I know more about sex-related things than you do. My asexual behaviour is just a facade I've put up to hide my real nature. :P

It's almost midnight as I type this. I have folded my clothes but they are yet to be packed into the bag. Then there are my binder and boxer briefs which are hanging out to dry. I'll pack them tomorrow.

Speaking of boxers, my Mom doesn't know that I've acquired more than one pair by now. If you remember, she discovered my first pair in March. I wonder what her reaction would be at my latest acquisition from men's underwear section:



Only, it's sans fly this time.



What'd you think the picture would be? A full frontal shot of me wearing them? Ha! ;)

I've been warned that the Internet connection at home is quite unreliable, hence my disappearance off the face of the blogosphere for a while is a possibility.

I've bought a truckload (not really) of chocolates for my sister. Hope she likes them.

Tiredness and fuddle-headedness are a-calling. I'll take your leave here.
Good night!
