Pujo, and Indonesian Lungi

Pujo. Hah! Has no significance for me whatswhoever. WIll do what I do every year, namely sit at home. Well, as long as my friends don't come along and try to drag me out of my room anyway.....
Will be ready with my revolver if they do.

I don't really have a revolver, but i do have a plan-one that puts buckets of water to efficacious use.

Anyway, Ma called again yesterday. Having a lot of trouble with monkeys. Didn't know monkeys lived in Himachal Apparently, there's a law which prevents anyone to feed these creatures poison disguised as food, which was the first thing i would have suggested otherwise. Too bad, Ma is not sneaky enough to break the law. She was anxiously relating her monkey troubles, gasping, shrieking etc, and i was graciously laughing exactly at the right momnents.

Didu arrived yesterday with a huge chocolate for me. Must think I'm still a kid. It's all understandable of course, considering that she's 71 and has probably forgotten how to count. She was recently duped by those bloody Nepalis for the umpteenth time. Apparently, she wanted to by mother a lungi( heavens knows why), and Nepalis are apparently crouching in anticipation when to cheat the next Indian that comes along. Well, Didu is the perfect vessel for their cozen enterprises. She's almost purblind, and has bought my mother a supposedly Indonesian lungi, which has the ugliest pattern i have ever seen. Of course, didu was extremely angry when i spoke my mind, which is understandable, considering the fact that i was taking a dig at her aesthetic sense in front of a hundred other relatives. These gatherings keep me going sometimes.

Anyweay, as gor the lungi business, I called up ma and told her i would disown her if she used it. I also gave her an alternative- since we don't buy tissue paper, adn my school bathrooms use them, i have a lot of problems when i go to the loo. So there is a distinct possibility, i shall be using this lungi instead to get myself enough practice. Ma was skeptical, like that wasn't about to happen......

Must get some writing done now. over 250 pages going, and still am too lazy to carry on......
