I so had the urge to go shopping today. There was no thinking twice. It had to be a shopping day. I was so excited I even woke up early. And I told Nadzy to get her ass up too at the earliest so that all the work at home (the cleaning work she does daily of her 3000 cats) is done at the right time and we go out shopping before Brother Gilbert comes back home.
Brother Gilbert is a strange creature. Everytime Nadzy and I leave the house he has to tell us “Bhai halaat bohat kharab hain.” Ab halaat agar kharab hain tou insaan jeena tou nahi chor sakta. But Gilbert doesn’t understand this philosophy. So, we just do our thing. I mean we are quite OLD now. So what if we look like two retards.
Anyway, so we got ready to get the hell out in the irritatingly hot sunny day without any transport as usual but we are pretty ok to travel in the rickshaw, which are very easily available near our place. Actually, I have always enjoyed traveling in rickshaws since I was a kid. It’s a fun ride. Some of the bestest travel moments I have were on a rickshaw ride.
There was this particular moment which I never forget when I was in Lyceum – the craziest times and when I was a wild cat truly (and not many are aware of that phase of mine.) The only time of my life when I didn’t study at all and had absolute fun. So our crazy gang of Rabiah, Faraz, Hina, Sana, myself and may be some one else too we took a rickshaw drive to Park Towers. The rickshaw was hardly moving ahead. And we all looked and acted so crazy but all was so good.
So coming back to what happened. Nadzy and Z went out and as usual people gave us the look that we are Christians. I don’t know why everybody thinks we are Christians. So we found our ride and hit it off to our destination. Now, visiting my home Forum is a must – I mean I have kind of become addicted to that place because whenever I got really sick of stuff at work I used to get out of the office and went down for some shopping :) or get some Red Bull or Pringles and Lays.
Today, was a good economical shopping day. Firstly, we bought nothing that was not worth buying. I don’t regret buying anything and as per my goal I saved some buck too. The best part was Nadzy too was so in control of herself :P She is always the more difficult one to handle while shopping. She just falls for the silliest of stuff at times. But mostly she does end up getting what she wants … she has her ways of getting things done.
I was actually so dehydrated I had to have some drink. And Nadzy was dying of hunger. So I offered her to sit at Espresso but she refused because she suddenly had this urge to have Hot&Spicy’s garlic mayo roll and spicy fries. Nadzy never does that normally. Anyway, so we had to go down in the scorching heat. And madam Nadzy ordered and we sat behind the pillar trying to hide ourselves from the sun.
But we do know clearly we are a bit strange I swear :P No wonder people don’t get us. She ate her stuff. I ate the salad that I got from the bakery and it kinda sucked. And we got frosted brownie for Dolly (One of N’s favorite cat amongst the 3000) for her birthday celebration because apparently she loves eating sweet stuff. And then this guy and girl who worked at Forum also shared the same table with us because they had to have their lunch. It was so hot and there was no other place. I really liked the food they got especially the aloo qeema. It smelled so good :)
Then Nadzy also wanted to have ice cream from inside. She got the same old caramel crunch cone. And she even dropped some bit while eating and signaled me that she has. I so ignored her and went to some other stalls while she enjoyed the caramel. She even liked this strangely long haired dirty guy and I thought for a second this other guy with him was kind of hot. But then the moment I saw the way he was holding his shopping bag in such a faggish way I was like arghhhhhhh. What the hell! A man should just behave like a man!
We also stepped into Aashiana. Now our first goal is always to ignore these two weird Pathani brothers who are really weird. I hated them the day one of the brothers cut down a piece of dress without me even telling him to…and he said Bismillahhhhhhhhhhhhhh and then he just cut the piece. Uff I hated him and got really pissed off at this shit. Like you can’t act this way and force people to buy stuff by just cutting off the suit piece.
Anyway, we went to other shops. In one shop, I was really about to pass out so just grabbed a seat and sat next to the fan. And there was this old aunty whose daughter wanted her to buy some clothes. And both the daughter and husband were quite strange the way they were talking. The aunty looked sick and old and she was just picking stuff. Then I just left the seat and asked the old aunty to sit and her mean husband just took the seat himself without any second thoughts. I didn’t like it at all and poor aunty ufff it was so sad how lonely she looked. And both her husband and daughter were busy in their own shit. Well, I am glad we bought good stuff from this shop.
And the pathan used to say Diryam Gaz, Diryam Gaz. It meant 350…some calculation he was doing was diryam gaz, diryam gaz.
Then Nadzy saw a sleeping cat and this irritating woman sat there and started talking to the cat. It happens everytime. So annoying I swear. But like I say she doesn’t give a damn.
After this episode, we found a cng rickshaw to rush back home before Gilbert arrived. And this very musalmani driver thought we are two idiots so he kept on saying 140 kar lo bhen. We had thought we will never give him 140 rupees. Nobody charges that.
Nadzy reported I kept on talking like a crow since the ride…kaye kaye kaye kaye kaye kaye
