Day 69 of OBO... Happy Deepavali...

It's a public holiday today! Got to sleep in a bit... It was a pretty relaxed day... As usual, it rained again this morning... Monsoon's here... Oh well... Well you called at around 0740hrs and we spoke for about 15 minutes before you had to get back to your watch 'cause your coxswain was doing his 'rounds'... After that, I went back to sleep and woke up again at around 0945hrs... Went to wash up and got dressed to go to Uncle Bala's and Auntie Sumitra's, a family friend, place for Deepavali lunch...

My family and I left our place at around 1030hrs... Went in an MPV cab... It was super spacious... And the driver was really a kind and helpful dude... We reached their place at around 1045hrs... Had a little snack and we were chit-chatting... Spoke with their daughter, 姐姐Anida, as we fondly called her, and played with her kids... Well they wouldn't let me go unless I played with them... So I accommodated them for a while...

We had lunch at about 1400hrs... I ate 5 pieces of chapati, lots of mutton curry and beans... Absolutely loved the beans!!! Plus when you use your fingers to eat... It makes it taste even better! Anyway, we stayed there till about 1545hrs before heading home... We reached home at around 1600hrs... Well, that was about the time you called... This time, after your watch... We spoke for a while before you went to get some sleep...

After we hung up, I took a short nap and woke up at around 1845hrs to go bathe... After that, I went to get a bit to eat... Had the sweet sour pork from Sunday... It tasted much better today... So I think the sauce has to be made in advance for the full flavour to come out... Also had a bottle of cranberry juice... After dinner, I came up to clear out my emails and then blogged after that... Well that was my day... A break after a mundane week... It's work again tomorrow... Anticipating yet another day with nothing to do... Oh well... Anyway, I got to get down to my musical stuff again... I'm waiting for your call... So hopefully you'll call soon... I have this feeling that you've overslept... But never mind... I'll wait patiently... The most I'll just wake up when you call... So till tomorrow... Good night... Sweet dreams... Sleep tight... I love you darling... Miss you lots!!
