Blame It On Singo!

The characters in this post are taken from Ninkita's post "One fine day".



It all started last night. I had told Singo to call me without fail as she wanted information on something. I stayed up till 2 am expecting her to call up but I guess she was busy with her work and then had conveniently forgot all about the call. My tired eyes finally couldn't take it anymore and fell asleep. Now at 3.30 am, I guess I was still thinking about Singo as I dreamt of her.

The dream went as such:

Scene 1:

SIngo was in Mumbai and was staying over at my place! Woohoo! Singo and me were nicely discussing something over her laptop in my room when suddenly Kitkat called up, "Guys, guess what, am in Mumbai too! Mom sent me to pick up Singo." Yay! A short celebration later Kitkat had joined Singo and me in my room.

Scene 2:


It was 11pm and I was sitting with my mommy waiting for Kitkat and Singo who'd gone to visit some friend in Mumbai. Suddenly Kitkat calls up, "Hey, we are stuck here, we can come to your place only by 1 am and then we'll stay up all night okay? No sleeping. Chaw!"

Scene 3:

It's 1am and there are guests all over my place. I become irritated that Singo and Kitkat are yet to show up. Frustrated I call up Kitkat, "Oye bad news!" she starts. "But something just came up and we have to leave for Delhi by 6 am. So we cannot meet you now. We'll meet you the next time we come to Mumbai." Now I get pissed off, "What the hell! You said you'll come over to meet me Kitkat. We hardly met for 2 minutes and now you have to leave? You are coming over to my place!" Kitkat started apologizing and I don't recall the exact words I spoke later on over the phone, just recall me shouting, "Alright! Fuck off! I don't wanna see you." Then Kitkat said, "No yaar, chal we'll come to meet you for 5 minutes". And I recall shouting again, "No! You don't come to my place now! Fuck off! I don't want to meet you at all" And I recall Kitkat saying, "Fine! We won't come! Bye!" And then I recall slamming down the phone.

Scene 4:

Its 2 am and my brother has to leave for Pune. I'm at my granny's place and bidding my brother goodbye. Enter a taxi and out step Singo and Kitkat saying how sorry they are! I gave them an angry look and woke up saying, "Jao Delhi! Jao Delhi!"



I saw the clock, it was 4 am. I recalled I had to wake up Sammy at 6.30 am. I set the alarm for 6 and tried to sleep. But I was still troubled over the fact that Singo hadn't even left a message saying why she hadn't called. Then suddenly I recalled the dream and the hasty exit of Singo and Kitkat from Mumbai and I was pissed off even more. There was no need for the alarm as I was all awake and angry. At 6.30 I typed in "S" and searched for Sammy's number in the phonebook of my cell. Nicely I dialed the very first name that appeared in the list and ended up waking my sister-in-law with a gentle "Abey! It's 6.30. Uth be!" She was shocked to get my call so early and immediately asked me what the hell is wrong with me. Only when I heard Marathi speaking lady on the other end that I realised that I'd woken up the wrong "S". I quickly disconnected the call and called up Sammy! Phew! The explanation of how I messed up the names took some 30 minutes as my sis-in-law wasn't able to recover from the shock as to what language I use with my friends!

Then I called up Kitkat and narrated her the events and I went on to buy eggs. Maggi and eggs were for breakfast and I was bleeding hungry! Hastily I fell one of the eggs and I had to clean up the mess, my breakfast got delayed and my hunger was now unbearable! Quickly I made Maggi and then started boiling the eggs. An impatient hungry wait later, I cracked the eggs only to realise that they were half boiled and now me and my dad had to suffer the worse cooked-Maggi ever!

An eventful morning it has been so far and Kitkat has blessed me with more adventures in the day. Let's see how it goes. Oh by the way, Good Morning world! :)

(not to mention funny and stupid)

i suppose it was a night of strange dreams...u werent the only one...just that i cant spell it out coz i don;t quite remember the sequence of events, etc
anyway, what i can really relate to is the wrong no thingy!
one day, i was sitting in my room and the phone next to me rang. i answered and the voice at the other end of the line asked for my neighbour. as i was about to inform the gentleman that he had got the wrong no (the only diff between our nos being that the last digits were interchanged), i realised that the voice belonged to none other than my dad who was calling from the phone in the other room!
the other instance was loooong back in the days when not everybody had a phone n you might have to call up neighbours to talk to relatives. It was before i graced this earth with my benign presence :P the days when Bombay was still Bombay!
Ma n dadi had gone to 'Bombay' to dadi's bro's place. getting bored at home, they decided to go for a movie and decided to ask mamiji to come along too. so dadi took out her tel book to find her no (she was in office), found a no n called. the phone was answered and dadi was put on hold while mamiji was being called. then the doorbell rang. the neighbour had come to ask them to take a call (own phone which was being used was a new aquisition - a luxury). so dadi gave this phone to ma n went to attend that call. after a brief silence, ma hears a voice on the other end - not mamiji, but dadi!
instead of calling mamiji's office, dadi had called up the neighbour they called before this no came along!
i didnt meant to be a bore, but somehow ive always found these incidents dreadfully funny! n suk's 'wrong no' just reminded me of them!
ANONYMOUS S, sorry for taking away ur place as blog-hogger - whatever that is!
SUKRUT spelled SUKRIT, i know this is meant to be ur blog!:P
