1995-11-27 - Monday - RD won. Evening Amma (Mother) shopping trip till Mananchira (meaning that I drove her there and back.) Back in the rut. Only the hard work at Parthi was "useful". Now I'm just after "enjoying" or "lazing around". RDs, Star TV, etc. Driving is a pleasurable interval.
1995-11-28 - Tuesday - RDs (old ones) big supply at home! Of course, I'm doing various errands for Amma, taking Anch to bus-stop etc too. Quite deliberately pursuing pleasure. Bad for Karma, but who cares? Consequence flatus!
1995-11-29 - Wednesday - Relishing 'not You'? Cricket - TV was on (whenever power didn't fail) Kiwis lost by 6 wickets in < 30 overs (126). I kept watching till night - Remington Steele, Star Trek, MASH, Small Wonder, etc. Who thinks of You? No one. So why should I write (this diary?) But I'm not doing what I put in the time-table!
1995-11-30 - Thursday - Morning - went with Achan (Father) for (ear) wax removal - read Journey to God II. Afternoon "That's Life" jokes and sleep. Evening & night Star Plus Bloopers and Small Wonder. [V] old movie songs Achan. Bicycle finally ready. A greasing would help. Reading Jegathesan's book made me think about You for some time, at least. But why am I turning away?
1995-12-01 - Friday - As the last five days run together, chronology suffers. So, I'll just write some events, not necessarily correct days (1-5 Dec). Picking up Anch from Medical College Hostel at ~ 8 pm when she rang up as planned. Went to Dr. Moopen with Anch & got new (tooth) filling - Anch studied in the car. I won't shed any more tears, just write other things. Driving at night is a big headache - the lights of other vehicles dazzle.
1995-12-02 - Saturday - TV off - usual serials off on weekends. ... Agatha Christie "Poirot's last case - Curtain" & Inspector Battle's "Last leaf(?)" MAS Opticals - spectacles ordered. Dropping Anch off at bus-stop at 8 am, picking up ~ 8 pm from Casuality block. 'Namam chellal' (daily prayers) as formality! for whose sake, I wonder.
1995-12-03 - Sunday - RDs and "That's Life" also. "Carry On ..." movies - British, 70s. Saw 3/4ths. Bhajan time also just mouth, not heart.
1995-12-03 - Monday - Trip with Achan to town - bought 'Butterfly' gas stove. Trip with Amma (evening) bought eatables, returned book to Annie Hall Road, Indian coffee house samosas. MASH, Small Wonder, etc. Decided to go by train if possible as bus ⇒ Bangalore cold. I am regarding going back as a release. The fact is, I still need an external agent to push me to be good, otherwise I'm so lazy (as I told Anch) that I don't do anything useful.
1995-12-05 - Tuesday - Morning railway booking - though booking stops at 10 for today's train, got berth at 11 (stood in line for two hours). Jeffrey Archer - 2 short stories from '12 red herrings' just before leaving. Sai Smarananjali - K. P. Ramachandran - pg 3 on train + Aamukham etc. Wrote this, too. I was a bit short with A2 (parents) over their concern over my trip irking me. But by afternoon, all cool and nice. Anch (sister) stayed back to study (Monday exam), A2 saw me off... Tomorrow Babri Masjid Memorial Hartal by PDP - mostly no effect in AP.
