Herein is an unfolding tale of a young woman ‘K’ and a not-so-young man ‘M’ who are falling in love with each other. They know the past, they are living the present, but they don’t know what’s in store for them in the future. They’ve given each other a period of 1 year to overcome the odds, not just external…but also come to terms with their own internal contradictions, and tie the knot if the love is strong enough. The 365-day countdown has begun... K & M

349: Back home to tears, tantrums & sadness

Went around to homes of relatives, their friends and others who wanted to meet me…especially, the ones who’d say that I have got my head swollen if I didn’t go to their homes! After lunch, went by road to Chittorgarh and from there…flew to Indore..and then to Bhopal, reaching home in the evening.

A disaster awaited us at home, since mom had forgotten to turn off the taps. Incidentally, the day we left, the taps had run dry due to some motor trouble, which was rectified only after we left. The apartment’s maintenance staff was at the end of their tethers, having to pump up water every couple of hours….since the taps were running in my flat!! The entire bathroom was flooded..and the kitchen half under water. Luckily no major damage, except looks of annoyance from the other flat owners!

Went online in a very bad mood…and picked up a fight with K. The topic? Well, V’s always handy to act as a fulcrum for any argument! She said something silly, which I should have overlooked…but I was already far too irritated to be a saint today. It was tears, tantrums and sadness until I hit the bed late in the night.
