Bad starts, ain't that bad... are they?

A bad Monday ain't a bad start, is it?

The Monday after my birthday, the last Monday of June and the first Monday to the second half of the year. 29th June 2020, Monday.

Its been troublesome already! I couldn’t sleep properly and I knew when amma was awake to make her hot water concoction with black peppers and Tulsi. I was also awake for a little while when the alarm tried to wake me up at 6, and I clearly remember smashing the battery out of it.

I remember the clock stuck at 5.55 once and thus when I noticed the anomaly for the second time, I woke up; just to find out that the time was 09.07 am on my phone.

 I jumped out of my bed, made it neat, and headed to the kitchen after my toiletries. Made rice, and coffee and hot water that needs to be taken for work. Put the clothes for wash and collected the dried clothes from the stand.

It was 10am already! I rested for a while with Zandu balm for my little upcoming headache.

By 10.15, it was decided that I would be going to the office only if I take a bath in hot water and finish my breakfast! I wasn’t allowed to make the lunch and breakfast which I desperately wanted to do so Mumma could rest for a while.

Anyways, I take my bath with hot water and Dettol... Oh. Boy. I could feel so fresh and warm.

I felt warm. I don’t need a sweater. Bengaluru is not cold. Why even wear a beanie? Is a stole even necessary!?

I don’t know if its because I am a girl, but oh damn I do take a lot of time to get ready, and end up looking like a piece of crap anyways! Maybe its a talent!? Hehe...

I sat down for breakfast at 10 minutes to 11.

I was getting late.

I stepped out of my home by 11.20

I was getting late

I missed 4 busses to work, very conveniently.

I was getting late.

Got to my bus stop, waiting for a miracle

I was getting late.

I didn’t get a bus for 10 minutes straight!

I was getting late.

Any bus that comes my way to my destination is a miracle, because it was almost lunchtime, in essence, lesser frequencies of busses.

And then it came. A 378J.

“Electronic City hogata?” I asked   “Haan, banni!” the conductor replied.

I sent my boss a text stating I will be at the office by 12.45pm. Hopefully, she wouldn’t mind unless I finish my work on time and as per the company schedule.

 

I am still on my way. Hopefully, it's a good day and a good week!

Until later

Take Care, Be Safe.

 P.S. I am supposed to start work by now! 😭😭😭

 

Day 2: 30.06.2020; Tuesday, 11.18 Am IST

I got my bus, its at JSD: Jammbu Savaari Dinne now.

It's a late bus, that follows to mean the very obvious fact: I am late, again!

Anyways, yesterday was fun! I mean although I was late, the boss lady came a few minutes after my lunch, which means I had so much fun contacting my friends during work! XP

But I must say, I did finish all my tasks for the day and took an extra 30 minutes to compensate for the lost time. My boss was okay with it. So, hey, in the end, all was well.

I did ask Ajith to visit Mom, she was unwell, and he agreed to do so, sweet boy. Funny when I figured out that even the boy was sick himself, which was reported to me by Mom!!

I spent a good amount of time before dinner with my fam and my poems book. I went to my poems' book to update them after dinner too. Along with handling my new poetry Instagram page, that is.

Went to sleep minutes after 00.00

Woke up being hungry and ate Maggi  mine and my sister’s share, and had my coffee

 She has been a bit grumpy with me these days in the mornings, I don’t know what wrong I have done. I felt a warm numbness inside of me so I tuned in to the radio from my moms’ phone. I played it loud via speakers when they played my sister's peppy favorite. Nothing seems to lighten her up! L

I told her a Good Morning with the most happiest puppy face I can come up with and her reply was like as if water was thrown onto the burning ropes of a skyrocket that is used for celebration! L

I don't know what I have done

I don't know what I can do

I said I was leaving for office and she said, “Can you leave early so I can eat?”

I Was like, “Sure!” Amma was furious! She said to Di that it's not the way to talk and all. But I understood, she was hungry and seemed a bit irritated, shit happens and life goes on.. she needs her space and time. All is gonna be swell! J (?)

I took my packed bag, headed to the shoe stand to collect my shoes, applied Vibhudi and Kumkum on my forehead, and left. I was headed to the seats near the Orchid Security. Put my socks and shoes there, sanitized my hands, put ok n a mask, and headed out. “Text me,” Amma says.

I am pissed off already, just... Don't tell me my job?! Please?!

Ugh, whatever. The mask is not settling properly, I tried to handle that and my hair and my earrings, I finally kept my earrings inside. My hair is weird. The masl makes my nose run and my left eye is tearing.

 

It started off as a good day, I don't know where I screwed up, or how I managed to screw it up, but whatever, things can be worse. I just hope for the best.

Also, Today is Pranati’s Birthday!! 😁💗🌷

11.37am IST


 Day 3 - Day 5: No entry for as much for the fact that I used to write these posts when I was traveling to work and I got Work From Home, so... I was unable to write.

I did have thoughts, and I did pen some down; I typed some down too. I just don't know where they are and when they'll be up here

And overall, it wasn't a bad week; but a bad weekend! Haha!! 😂😂

Jesus man! The weekend was so bad... my tweet was: 


I guess what was worse is that people could actually relate to it, and affirmed it, stating they too had spent a full weekend feeling sad. 

P.S Follow me on Twitter at @Radha2697 for live 'Life Banter' and quasi updates on life, and exclusive poems (I write #TwitterOriginals; those poems that were written on twitter first and then made it to the poems blog: www.rkscribbles.blogspot.com ; so, what I am trying to say is; Twitter Bruh! Let's Vibe!)

Hakuna Matata

Heyyo folks! Hakuna Matata!! Those who were born in the 19080s and 1990s would know this because of Disney and why not!  Now, if you don...
