It was a hectic day today. I woke up and went through the drill. Lukewarm water, down the hatch, yesterday’s meal out the back, exercise, get the clothes together and a quick shower. I had to go out for various occasions, so I wore the chinos that my papaji exchanged with me. Apparently my usual size is too tight for me, but exactly fit for papaji. I borrowed his shirt too because it seemed to be going with the chinos, and I am not large on buying things as it is.

I wish to own a pair of pleated pants with suspenders. It would look cool if I could have that, along with a baggy shirt to go with it. My aviators would add on to make it look like I am straight out of the 1940s. However, that’s just a wild dream, one which I will probably fulfill later down the line, once I’ve gained more muscle.

I ate my usual workout food: seeds, nuts, soaked almonds and gram. Gulped that all down with a glass of milk. I had to deliver Anushree’s things today as she was in Delhi, so I rushed to get that done. I somehow made it to the station and handed her everything. We didn’t exchange anything apart from an eye contact and a wave of goodbye. I returned back home on foot.

I quickly changed into my trackpants once I got back home and started to study for my programming exam. I sat down and started to solve the last mock paper that was waiting for me. I was helping some students on the way too, it helped me revise. By the end of it, I was feeling heavy so I put on some good hits by James Brown to lighten up.

Exam went pretty awkwardly. I knew I had drank a lot of water, so I made sure I was empty before sitting down. However, half way through the exam, my bladder was ready splurge all over the place for some reason. God bless my sinus issues. Due to all this, I was sweating profusely, I had no control over my movements. I am sure I freaked out any spectators on camera. Somehow I got through the exam without pissing all over. The exam didn’t go so well, obviously. I will barely pass, if at all that is.

Right after my exam, my phone started to ring because I was supposed to be at Aryan’s place. He had invited me for Chatt Puja. Shubhranshu and Rishu were also going to be there, and had already reached the station. I rushed out of the home after changing into chinos again, setting my hair and having some water.

The meet at Aryan’s place went great, it was good times ever since I landed the station. Shubh commented that I look like a dad of 4 kids. I wouldn’t be surprised, I was dressed like papaji, not that he has 2 kids that I don’t know about yet. Overall, it was time well spent with the boys. I had the chance to talk Gaurav, Aryan’s younger brother. He is a bright kid, I can see him achieving big things in life. I hope he does everyone proud.

I reached home pretty late, it was too cold as it is, the rickshaw ride back home wasn’t helping. Though, I witnessed a blessing in action. The rickshaw driver had obviously inflated the prices given the time and place. I told him to wait for a few more riders, and he was rightfully skeptical about anyone showing up, because it’s already late enough, and given the weather, nobody would take the rickshaw. Just the next moment, two elderly women, all dressed up came out of the station and took the rickshaw just across the road from my home. It was a blessing from Maa indeed.

I reached home, got comfortable and went through some texts. Got myself something to eat, and checked on for the Black Friday sale. I shall buy some games from Steam. Man deserves to enjoy himself a little after months of hard labor.
