Snippets of the last two weeks in Roseville, CA!
- Heard the same old repetitive jokes from my uncle. Plus a few PJs too.
- Made my aunt the scapegoat for most of my jokes. I still haven’t stopped joking about her driving. Curiously, she was silent whenever I made fun of her.
- Apart from that, I was subject to the usual blah-blah of my aunt almost every day.
- Managed to embarrass myself when asked to crack a PJ. Neeraja and Arun came for dinner, and my cousin told them that I say worse PJs than my uncle (which is not actually correct). Then Neeraja asked me to crack a PJ, and I completely chickened out when I was put in the spotlight. PJs are meant to come out spontaneously and naturally. Neeraja called me “Dubakoor” (which only Tamilians will understand), and I grinned sheepishly.
- Missed Teena and Sathiq again. I was planning to take a train to Santa Clara and meet them. But they have gone to India.
- Drove through the Sierra Nevada, and saw real snow on the ground. It was unbelievably bright.. almost blinding. And I had forgotten to take my sunglasses. We had to turn back because my cousin started feeling altitude sickness. I was more than happy, nevertheless, because all I wanted was to see snow.
- Learned to play Golf finally. But I think I’m not that good in Golf. Anyway, I’m gonna practise once I reach university.
- 2 lunches, 1 dinner. Got to meet a lot of new people.
- I got confirmation that I’m bloody brilliant. I won’t tell you the context. It would be showing off.
- My habit of having new hobbies and getting bored of them easily continued. I got bored of changing my blog theme, and created a half-boiled one.
- Saw “Slumdog Millionaire” twice (once in a theater). It is an awesome movie (Except for a scene which was gross).
