Home for Christmas

December20

I’ll be home for Christmas,
You can plan on me..

As I write this post, almost all of the packing is done and am waiting for mom’s phone call cos uncle (mama ji) will be coming all the way from Raipur to take me home. That’s the case because I have a lot of stuff to take back home.. clothes, bed sheets, books, notebooks and all…

Can’t wait to head home.. help mom with the ‘pakwan making’ :P, do away with last minute shopping, decorate the tree & crib and the best of all… to celebrate Christmas

Bro n his family will be home in the evening.. can’t wait to play with my best doll who is called Alicia Veronica. This will be the kiddos 2nd Christmas

Though was kinda mad yesterday on the behaviour of the HOD (that freak only granted me leave of 3 days i.e from 24-27th instead of my 6days leave from 20-27th). But who cares if the leave is granted or not.. I’m going home and for the record.. from 20th to 23rd I’ll be suffering from cough, cold and fever (thats for the HOD, and I’ll give him a fake medical certificate too)

That’s all from my side.. here’s wishing all friends n family and the readers of this blog a Very Merry Christmas and a Blessed New Year!!

psst: a formal Christmas n New Year post will find its way on the blog soon

One call to the CSEB call centre

June8

First let me give you the overview as to why a call was made to the CSEB [Chhattisgarh State Electricity Board] call centre.

My elder sister was in the mood of baking cakes today, and because most of the people slept in the afternoons, she prepared the famous Banana Bread before lunch. We had planned on going out to shop at Coupon Mall after lunch. But our Church Pastor turned up and was in deep talks with mom and brother. After that the rains started pelting heavily, and as a precautionary procedure, the CSEB people turned off the power. Now, I had asked her to make my favourite Chocolate Sponge cake and we were scheduled to make it in the evening. But because of the frequent power cuts, we were unable to do so.

So sis thought of calling the call centre and asking if they were thinking of turning off the power again as the rains were still pretty heavy. Here is what the talk was like..

Sis: Hello, is this the CSEB call centre?
CC: Yes madam.
Sis: Is the CSEB thinking of turning off the lights again?
CC: Mam, where is your house located?? Hasn’t the power resumed yet??
Sis: This and this area. The power is back. But we’ve got some urgent work to do.. like bake cakes and all.. so I just wanted to know if the power will go out again…
CC: hehe mam.. How can we tell this..

The call ended there.. and we peeps had a very good laugh. The thing that is bugging us is that if this incident gets published in some newspaper or the guys turn up in the house tomorrow to eat the cake ‘lol’

As for the cake, we haven’t made it yet. Will prepare it tomorrow..
