The kid of a relative is coming. Now, why? I don’t really understand. Its a stupid city, same unplanned streets, bad roads, occasional water puddles from either when it rained last week or a leaking sewage, the stench carried by the winds coming from the mountains nearby or the ocean far along. What’s so special? Not like its Islamabad, I live in a rented portion of a house in Rawalpindi. Why do these people keep visiting?
Hy I go to village. I love going there. Fields. Canal. Trees. Stupid children with no pants on. Men returning with cattle. Women carrying buckets of water on top of their head literally a lifeline for the family. I love it. Its a sight worth seeing. Decompresses the mind, destresses the soul. What’s in this godforsaken city? I will never understand.
Anyways, so that’s happening. I won’t be a help to him. Mom would say I am taking dad’s side because the kid is from Mom’s side when I just recently, very recently, told my dad’s side of relatives not to come unannounced. And people think I am ungrateful. No, you should come in happy occasions like marriage or a newborn. You must join the relatives in sadness when someone passes away. My dad spent a good amount of money on both of these occasions happened THIS FUCKING YEAR. But … mehman phir b ayenge. Aevein ayenge. Zroor ayenge. Locking me in my own corner of the house. Bye!
1221am the next day
Its been okay. I went to Univeristy. Then came back, watched a season of Outback Truckers for 2 hours straight. Then had dinner, did some work (6/7 mins max) and now planned tomorrow. I have to:
- Bring water home for the next week (really tiring)
- Call uncle to have the seat fixed
- Call Driving uncle to appreciate him for the consistent good time
- Meet someone from my old Job
- Book ticket for the relative kid who’s here, for Tuesday
- Research how can one make a semi-fully-intelligent Dev thingie for the Dev guys on job.
I will prolly be able to do 1,2 and 5 for sure. 3 if the day is going good. And either one of 4 or 6 but I have planned both incase I can’t do one, I will have something else on me hand mate!
