And I finally got my sisters to tie rakhis on saturday..Yippeee! I remember back in the school days, I was the proudest boy with a total of 6 rakhis! And the big show-off that I was, I used to wear them to school the other day ;-) and everyone used to gaze at my small, thin wrist laden with rakhis of all colours and shiny laces. Rakhi used to be a good day when all my sisters would come home and have lunch and of course tie the rakhi. Now things are totally different. While our equation with one of my cousion has gone sour, 2 of my sisters have got married and settled abroad and I have now 3 of them who visited me every year on this auspicious day. The most part of the day was that my most favourite cousin and my friend from Canada called me to wish me on Rakhi day :-)
I was quite foolish in the school when I used to make a ‘sister’ out of every girl I used to like. By the time I had reached my SSC, I had 26 of them!! Not that I hated them as such, but then you also have other priorities in life to cater to ;-) Friendship was like a taboo and I rarely ever approached anyone with that offer. Things changed once I was out of school and into life :-)
This day was also special because we had a small satyanarayan pooja at my house and I believe so much in it. I have been a Ganesh devotee for some time now and never miss out on a saturday when I go to the Ganesh temple at Vazira Naka walking to pay my respects to the elephant god. He’s helped me a lot.
Oh and to give you the good news, I just upgraded my PC to a total of 250GB HDD space and 1GB of RAM!! I am proud of the SATA drives which have got installed now and they promise a good performance in the future.
