Rakshabandhan... Whew!

Well, today is Rakshabandhan. It was nice as well as weird. Nice because I love tying my brother Rakhi ( and getting something in return ) and weird because me and my friends did all sorts of weird stuff at college. First of all, I was supposed to get up a bit early in the morning, around 7 am, have a quick bath, get a Rakhi from the nearby shop and tie it on my brother's wrist ( his right wrist, actually). Now let me tell you one thing, I am a LATE RISER. I can't get up early even to save my neck, leave alone Rakshbandhan! So, I, well, got up around 8 am, managed to get the Rakhi by 8:45 and arranged everything. Then when it came to tying the Rakhi on my bro's wrist, I messed up. Instead of tying it on his RIGHT wrist, I tied it on his LEFT one ( I figured that out when I saw the video on my dad's laptop)! Gawd! Anyways, I left for college soon after that.
Now, I've got many friends at college, but here I'm going to mention only three of them. SOLANKI HALDER ( whom we affectionately call SOLA), SHUBHANGINI S ( SHUBHA, the S is actually her surname) and MONALISA PAL (MONA). When classes got over we three decided to check out a nearby shop. Sola was supposed to buy a Rakhi fro her brother Bob ( I can't believe she didn't tie it in the morning!), I was supposed to get a hair-clutcher for myself ( something like a clip, I have run out of rubber bands, its SO unfair) and Shubha and Mona were simply accompanying us. We entered the shop and instead of asking for a Rakhi and a clutcher all four of us started drooling over the showcase of earrings which was just beside the entrace of the shop! We were so excited that the shopkeeper thought we had come to buy earrings... *sighs* When he found out we weren't buying any, he got a bit pissed. Never mind that! In the middle of all this mess, Shubha got a phone call and headed back to college. Well, me and Sola remembered what we had actually come for and asked for Rakhis and clutchers. But didn't find anything good enough and the price seemed too much. We left the shop disappointed.
We managed to find another shop some distance away. Sola got a Rakhi at last ( she was more worried about her brother's choice than hers) and I bought two clutchers. Even Mona who was just accompanying us, got herself a kajal ( I can hardly tell the difference between that and an eyeliner).
Got back home after that and now I'm writing this crap. Well, my dad is scolding me about food again, so I've to go and eat. See you later... Bubbye!
