End of my Isolation
With only two more arcs to finish Fairy Tail, I stopped watching it.
It was the first week of July, I was planning to finish Fairy tail before 10th of July. That’s when that event happened.
I was enjoying my days in solitude and isolation happily. Little did I know, people were starting to vacate my PG. During the end of June, the cooking people of my PG went to their home town due to this pandemic and left us with no food.
For nearly 10 days, we were managing without a proper food. We started cooking meals and dal and it was devastating. That was when I decided to go back to my home. To go home, I needed Entry Pass to my State.
I was staying in Bangalore and I applied the entry pass for like 5 times asking permission for going to Tamil Nadu via car. Each time it got rejected. I almost lost hope and that’s when the entry pass applied by my PG Mates got accepted.
I was shocked and then later I came to know that theirs got accepted because they’ve applied the entry pass via Flight (not car).
Even this news disappointed me as I had no experience travelling through air. Also, it was risky to travel through air during this pandemic. The virus spreads fast inside an Aeroplane. I asked my family and they too didn’t support this idea.
This disappointment stressed the hell out of me. It was so excruciating that I stopped watching Fairy Tail. I couldn't bring myself to watch anything because all I could think about at that time was going to home.
It’s not that I was home sick or something, but the rejections of entry passes I applied was the thing that stressed me out. This also affected my work and I couldn’t able to concentrate in my work. I took sick leaves even though I didn’t feel any sickness. I am not sure how I decided this but, in a whim, I booked a flight to Coimbatore on the Friday night of July 3rd.
Week of Movies
I applied for the entry pass too on that night. I didn’t inform any of these decisions to my family and my friends. I slept that night with a heavy heart.
11:00 AM July 4, Saturday
Saturdays in Bangalore are an eternal Bliss.
The climate was cloudy with no rain but chill air. I woke up and looked the time. It was exactly 11:00 AM. I knew the time exactly and I’ll never forget it in my life because it was when I found my entry pass application got accepted.
Shock!
Was all I felt. It took some time for me to grasp it. After all the failed try, I got a message notification saying that my entry pass has been accepted.
I had this sudden urge to inform this to my mother, but I decided not to tell her instead. It was not to surprise or anything, but if I’ve told her, she would’ve never approved of it. The first thing, she would have told me would be to cancel the flight ticket.
Thence I called my mallu friend Raghin and told him. Then we took our time to plan the travel. We planned to vacate the PG. Raghin was paying half of our PG rent even though he went to his home 4 months ago. Thus, to compensate this, we planned to fully vacate the PG and it needed packing to do.
So, we planned a lot and my brain was working faster than usual that day.
After speaking to him, I calmed myself a bit and before doing anything we had planned…
It’s time for party!
Me and my two newly made PG friends partied hard that night. It was THE FUN FILLED Saturday night I ever had in a while.
The Hangover of it was never seemed to be happening and on Sunday, I packed all the things.
There was this girl I was fallen in love and I thought of her, called her and told her about my trip. This was the girl that tried to brother zone me but ended up friend zoning me. As much as I hate to tell her about my life routine, I can’t help it. I just wanted to talk to her and…
Asked her to wake me up on Saturday morning. This was a bit
cringe of me but then again, I can’t help it. 
The departure date of the flight was on July 11th (Saturday) and I had one week in my disposal.
It was a one fucking long and daaarrk week.
I hadn't experienced any situation in my life than the situation that I was in my last week of that PG.
Due to some incident, the power got cut and it never came for nearly 60 hours (less than 3 days). The water supply stopped and the power in my laptop went out. I had full charge in power bank and that was the only surviving factor on those 3 days.
No one was in my floor at that time. All of em vacated before me and I was the last one. Nearly 3 or 4 rooms were occupied at that time and I was one of them. I used to dance for a song naked and jerk off a lot - A LOT!! to spend my time.
My room was on the 3rd floor and I used to bring drinking water on the ground floor to my room for using the toilet and all. To Be Honest, I stole the water that was used to drink while eating and when I was eating, I ordered my food in Swiggy with lot of water bottles.
Thinking about it now, it was horrifying how I survived for 50+ hours. But these were great stories to share. I would wake up early in the morning, go for a walk outside, have a coffee and the occasional puffs of smoke. It was liberating in one sense and terrifying in some.
It was like I was living in the movie Trapped (that Rajkumar Rao one)
On the verge of becoming Shaury, I started thinking about my trip.
The Trip!!
My mind was occupied by the trip that I am going to take. I was excited and at the same I was not confident about pulling this out.
Monday, I went to the courier and sent all the things, of mine and my mallu friend, to our homes. I was not sure how to spend the remaining 4 days then. I had no interest in watching Fairy Tail. No movies, series, nothing.
But I had to engage myself into something. So, I decided to re-watch some movies that I had watched before. I picked 4 slice-of-life cum comedy movies. (In short Dark Comedy movies)
Starting with “Silver Linings Playbook” on Monday
“King of Comedy” on Tuesday
“The Interview” on Wednesday
And “Why Him” on Thursday
Friday, I slept earlier so that I can wake up soon the next day for my journey.
