Aftermath of a trip is worse than a hangover

The Wrap Up

The Ooty trip had taught me too things!

One – To spend minimally.

Two – To plan stealthily.

I brought a Jumbo Loan immediately after my Ooty Trip. After my discussion with my mom, it was inevitable for me to take a loan. The loan helped me to pay my credit card, my brother’s last year college fees and we had bought a water purifier too. 

Surprisingly, I decided to take a 10 Year Asset Insurance plan and started saving 60k each year.

I started saving for my Kanyakumari trip too. So, I have created an RD account for 6 month (I am going to break it out in 3 months... DUH!!) and started saving 3000 a month.

Though it had its disappointments, the Ooty also had its fair share of enjoyments. It was a great beginning for the year 2021. 

I had never imagined that I would watch two Selvaraghavan’s films on a new year (that too back-to-back). It had happened this year. Even completing a one-day Ooty trip was also an achievement of some sorts, excluding its discontents.

 


I hate brooding and I love brooding too. I mean… WTF?!?!

Ooty trip drained my enthusiasm for another trip and Procrastination crept inside me for the next 2 weeks.

After the trip, I subscribed for the 2021 Reading Challenge in Goodreads. I have challenged myself to read 52 books in 2021. And suddenly, I started feeling low. It happens time to time. There’s no reason for this and yet it happens. 


For the next 2 weeks, I didn’t watch any movie, didn’t read any books or anything. But I did one thing. I read one volume of Detective Conan daily for the next 14 days.

There are nearly 100 volumes in Detective Conan. It’s an ongoing series too. 

Initially I planned to read 100 Volumes in 100 days. Then it got changed to 20 Volumes per month. 

Then 10 volumes per month. Now I hope to catch up to the manga by the end of this year. 

Hopefully, I would be writing a post series solely dedicated to Detective Conan on the second half of this year.

Before Pongal, I had read about 21 Volumes of Detective Conan. 

Then it happened again. I started feeling low again.

I went to watch Master movie with my friends during the Pongal holidays and by the end of it, and before returning to my home, me, and my dear friend NSK had shopped some Tamil books in Pollachi. I was planning on visiting Edhir Veliyeedu in Pollachi from October (from our Reunion) but I didn’t get any chance to go there. But I suddenly decided to visit there.

Later I changed my mind but NSK insisted me to go there. Then we went there and bought Vairamuthu books for my TBR. NSK bought a book on Cinema.

It’s been a while since I visited places having books (like library, book shop or book fair). And visiting Tamil Book shop is a rarity for me. It’s been years (like 5+ years). The shop was a small shop but the smell and the ambience it had was awesome. I was a member of my village library in my school days. The visit to that book shop brought back those memories of mine. I dragged myself out after realising the time.

Master movie was a disaster but visiting Edhir Veliyeedu made my day (or I would say Made my Pongal 2021 holidays)

AWOL (The Red #2)

  “What the Hell, Ed” “Hey Babe! You look good” “Aff! Don’t call me Babe. And you look terrible! Wipe that cocaine off your mouth” “You got me Babe.” – She liked when I call her babe. Rolling her eyes, she helped herself inside my apartment. She knows all about my apartment. It was not long back my apartment was called our apartment. “This has to be something good, Ed. I never wanted to see you again. And I am tired reading all your drafts for all year.” – She never looked at me since she entered my apartment. She thinks that she is the reason for my lack of talent. She sat down on the sofa. “Babe. I know you feel guilty because you were the one who broke up with me. But it’s not your fault, Babe” – I can feel that it triggered something inside her. She suddenly looked at me, eyes blazing. “I feel guilty? Or I should be feeling guilty?” Shit! She took it in the wrong way. Before I can open the mouth, she started shouting. “It has been one year since we broke up. A...
