A Blah Weekend

Okay, so nothing much has happened in the past two days. No one seems to be interested in coming to college, and obviously I have no interest being alone in the class, talking to the potraits of Shelley and Shakespeare. I was supposed to be meeting a friend of mine today, but unfortunately she sprained her leg and so we had to cancel the plan; thought would watch 'Woman in Black' this weekend, but my Di (my teacher/sister/friend) is kind of caught up, so it'll have to wait till next week. (Yeah, my life is kinda slow paced and dull at the moment)
I was thinking of reasons to step out of the house and the only solution was to go and help Mum with her grocery shopping. (UGH!) Now THAT is definitely the most boring thing in the world! It's something I absolutely despise; but I go with her anyway or else it puts too much pressure on her doing it all alone, and, well, Mum is more important than my 'non-interestedness'. So, I went with her. Now Mum is probably the most organised person in the world. She has a rhythmic way of doing things, and grocery shopping is no different. And since I've been accompanying her in this from quite some time, I've learned the routine as well. So like always, I followed her from one stall to another like an obedient pet. By the way, the grocery shops in Kolkata is the last place you'd wanna be. Or maybe every city is like that in this case. While Mum was busy buying vegetables at a stall, I heard this old age couple negotiating the prices,
(the lady to the shopkeeper): "Bhaiyya, mirchi zara taazi dena, and zyada dena."
(her husband): "Itna zyada bhi mat dena, meri biwi abhi bhi kaafi teekhi hai."
He said it with such a cute smile, and then looked at his wife, who gave him a shy glance. It made me wonder how they would have been in their yesteryears, laughing and romancing: probably some things never change. Our generation definitely has a lot to learn from it's grandparents, especially in the field of love and commitment. Listening to their conversation shooed away my boredom for sometime. After a few more minutes Mum was finally done with the shopping. (And I breathed a sigh of relief)
I hope tomorrow turns out to be a tad more eventful than today. I wonder how the weekend was for all you people. Do entertain me with your weekend stories, if you have any. That's it for today. Have a nice Sunday.

Love,
Sayantani Sarkar.
