Road trip to Shettihalli church!

-




We left at 4:00 am. This was a 185km drive from my place. And I drove almost the entire stretch! Andy took over for the last bit and I crashed in the vehicle. We reached the spot and was really disappointed to find the the church was completely submerged and was at a distance. We met a local boat man, Ganesh, we negotiated ₹100 per head and he rowed us ti the church. We had safety jackets on! To my utter dismay, he stopped the boat near one of the beams on that 18th century church built by the French, now in ruins, and he asked us to climb atop! 

I was shaking, fearful that the ancient architecture will give away to our weights combined! The only relief was the safety jacket, which Solomon decided to take off for a photo hoot flex! We settled on the bird drop smeared roof structure and posed for pictures. Ganesh rowed us back and we were hungry! 

We found a small cafe and they had Maggi noodles. We ordered egg noodles and decided to drive back. I drove half the stretch then Andy took over and we reached back at 1:00 noon.

Leg > Bike

 I met with an accident today! To save my new bike I used my leg to cushion its fall! I have a crack on my middle toe bone! I had gone to Saptagiri hospital initially, the first doctor who operated on me was a student, he was learning to stitch on my leg. During the stitch, I insisted that a real doctor do this. Then the next guy there tried adjusting my bone back over the stitch without knowing that it’s stitched. I was in soo much pain.  Then we decided to go to Baptist hospital, I got admitted and got my surgery done. Atleast I saved my bike.

Snow!

I know it’s hot and humid, But why do I have cold feet?  Butterflies in my stomach,  I’m feeling all that again.  I know I’m in love.  She’s an artist,  Paints sceneries and teaches me the art too!  Organised, clarity in speech,  My “crush”  Then I noticed the ring,  There was perhaps a man in her life?  I secretly wished for someone, just like her.  Then it snowed, just on the inside, My heart felt heavy A song left my lips,  I prayed, I manifested!  Now I wait.

 6:14 am! I took a shower and got ready for class at 7:00 am! But the class got cancelled. So I ended up playing the piano and guitar and singing some old songs.  Then I lost the mood to play the instrument and came back to bed sweating! Then I listened to a lot of Tamil songs, some of which I want to arrange on guitar. Maybe I was listening to a lot of melodic sad songs, the voice lulled me to a semi sleep state.  Then it was class time from 4:00 till 8:30 pm. Long day.
