Rajyotsava.....
A relaxed day at home, thanks to Karnataka Formation Day. P is slogging in the office, trying to re-establish himself yet again. Tomorrow our new PM will take over and I'm only hoping there will not be any changes.
Didn't do anything other than getting our owner's house cleaned up. They called up yesterday and were worried that some hurricane swept Bangalore or something like that, going by the news on TV. I assured them that everything is safe and sound except for the roads which seem to melt at the sight of raindrops.
When I was a kid, this day used to be one of the eagerly awaited ones, for it used to be competition time once more. Elocution and Patriotic songs were the categories and I used to be first in elocution and second in singing, mostly. I think sometimes even third in singing when an odd boy used to come between me and Sharlet. But I more or less feel ashamed of my 'achievements' w.r.t elocution, they were always mugged-up by me and written by my father till 10th Standard. But of course, I won even in 11th, writing on my own. That was the last time I went to the stage for a speech I guess. My stage-fright is intact through all these years.
Actually, one time in my life, I used to have huge complex about my abilities to talk well, especially in a group of so-called sophisticated people. That was during my Engineering days amidst the hi-fi Bangalore public. I remember being in awe of so many people of this brand. I think Hyderabad did me good. It was the first big city for me but I managed on my own, shed the habit of thinking about what others think of me and so started treating everyone the same way, boy or girl, poor or rich, hi-fi or otherwise. I like myself more this way, definitely.
Last but not the least, Ganeshanna is getting married!! I can see that he's relieved and so are all of us!
