When I became the Brand Ambassador for BAD LUCK...



"This weekend, I'm going to my native...


One full week with my Mom, sis, cousins, aunt and uncle, enjoying the world's best food (prepared by my Mom) and last but not the least.... no WORK to do..."

This is how I finished my previous post. I was expecting a fun filled, tensionless week but God had some other plans for me...

This trip became the worst vacation I ever had.
The bad luck started early in the morning, of the day which I left to kerala.
I woke up with a slight headache, running nose and throat pain. My bus was in the evening, at 6 PM but I had a big shopping to do before that...
I had to purchase something for my Mom, Sis, Cousins and Aunt.
Whenever I go home, I will buy something or the other for everyone. I love gifting but hate shopping. Luckily, I had already asked my friend to help me with the shopping. As I hate shopping, I will always ask my friend's help and she is always happy to help me with this. As you all know, girls are really font of shopping... :).

I had to purchase one Winter Jacket for my Aunt coz she was leaving to Australia. As it is easy to get nice jackets here, it was me who offered that I will bring it for her. I never knew that it will become such a big deal. believe me!!! I had to visit 5 or 6 shops (including Forum and Megamart) to get the Jacket. As it was summer time, none of the shops had Winter Jackets in stock.
After the shopping, I reached home by 3pm. As I had 3 more hours, I decided to watch TV for sometime. Then the Power failed and I lied down in my bed. I don't know when I dozed off. Luckily, I woke up at 5:10 PM. When I went to take a bath, the water in the overhead tank got over. I somehow managed to collect one bucket water and finished the bath. In the Rush, I forgot to close the tap which I have kept open. (Later, my House owner had to bring a blacksmith to break open the door and close the tap... ) After packing, when I got out of my room, it started raining heavily. I borrowed an umbrella from a kid who came to a nearby shop and I went out to get an Auto. Somehow, I reached the travel agency in time and he told that the Bus is late and will start only by 6:30.

I entered the bus and collapsed on my seat. I was relieved that it is over and 2moro morning, I will be in my home.....

At that time, I didn't realize that it is not over and it was just a trailer.......

I reached home by 5am, with a throat pain and fever. 2 days of my leave gone!!!
After that, I recovered but got busy because my aunt was leaving on that day. The next day morning, my Mom slipped and fell down in the kitchen. She got a small fracture in the right wrist and was admitted in the hospital. So the next three days were spend in the hospital and when she was discharged from the hospital, I decided to pack my bags and come back to Bangalore.

So this is how I spent the long awaited Holiday...

now that's what i call a vacation!!!
apart frm ur mom's fracture. it's something u'll always remember. rather than goody happy vacations. btw, on most of my visits to my mama's place i either had high fever or upset stomach or real bad bruising at real bad places. if not any of these then at least i was chased by the stray dogs.
