July 5th:
THe BBQ was fun..... small crowd lots of chicken....Actually three different types of chicken..... Shaan Tandoori Masala (never fails!), Khatri production ( quite good!) and Patak( rocked!). Washed the chicken down with 2 glasses of wine. Entertainment was provided by Mukesh's neighbour, who got drunk enough to start a dometic violence scene and got his kid to use profanity... cool!! If only I had my visiting cards with me.... It was a good time to tell him to come to the clinic for counseling..:)
Went over to see Vivek and Aanchal in the morning. The three of us and Rashi then spent the afternoon in Aurora where Rashi found some really good deals. Everyone came home in the evening. We decided to beat the heat with cold coffee and ice cream. Then we played a game of Taboo followed by Pictionary. I went over to Aanchal's again to make Sambhar or as Vivek says " Sambar"
July 6th
I lost track of what day it was..... thought it was still Saturday...... went to the mall in the afternoon with Priya, Madhu, sapna and Rashi to kill time. Sapna wanted to an A/C from Sears but then figured that it wouldn't be a good idea to put it in the window considering the unsafe time and location we are living in. So basically she and I window shopped tried on interesting stuff and then waited for everyone at the food court while we ate chinese food. We got home and thought we would go to a walking trail but the sun was still too strong. So I went out with Suji( Shyamala's aunt) instead. We went to her friend's house in Canton to have an indoor picnic. At night Shyamala's grandfather wanted a margharita.... unfortunately they stop serving alcohol after 10 pm on sunday nights so we went home and drank Corona with him.
July 7th:
My cousin Malaicha's birthday....... Most people usually mispronounce her name because of the way it is spelt..... We had an economics teacher in school who used to call her Malai- cha rather than Malaika....irritated the hell out of her!! Just the thought of it makes me laugh. There was a time when I didn't even know malaicha could talk.... She was so quiet.... Everytime all the cousins got together we would be sitting and talking and cracking jokes and she would just sit there and smile. Then of course in the 11th we went to the same school...... the first shocker was that she could talk..... after a couple of months we discovered that she also knew bad language...... she was so angry with the eco teacher one day, she came and sat next to me and said, " the f****** bitch!" for a minute it thought that I had misheard what she had said. Of course by that evening everyone knew and she got umpteen calls from the entire clan to ask if she was ok...... and if she had actually said what she did........
I am at the clinic at the moment.... Listening to the entertainment provided by Mother Nature in the form of severe thunder storms and possible tornadoes..... my poor car.... I feel like putting it inside the house in case it flies away....hehehehehe!!!!!
