My parents have gone to Guna (in MP) for my brother's admission into an engineering college. Poor guy will have to go through it too. I will miss him I guess, never thought I would until he was actually going away. So my family is on their way and I'm alone at home. I came back an hour ago after dropping them off at the railway station and on the way back I ran out of petrol! There was a diversion on my way back which made me go an extra kilometer or two and that is exactly by what I fell short of reaching home!! I huffed and puffed and pushed the car for about a kilometer and not one person on the road volunteered to help me out. Sad. Just when I was about to give up, an auto-rickshaw stopped beside me and the driver offered his help with a generous smile. I was so relieved. God bless his soul. He stuck his foot out and pushed the car from behind for the rest of the way. I couldn't thank him enough, also because I was going left and he was going straight ahead and I had to maintain the momentum. A big thank you to him.
Getting back to the situation at home. Basically it's nothing. They would be back on Sunday morning/night depending on the train they catch. Mom has prepared enough food to last me for at least two days. The maids have been given detailed instructions of which even I'm not aware of. My neighbours are very helpful and will keep offering their help for the next few days even if I don't need any, no offense intended. The only time I'll really be alone is when I come home in the evening, that too if I stay at home and don't go out with friends, or they might come over, who knows.
Should get ready to go to work now. I suddenly feel like watching the Home Alone movies again :P
Points: 1000 Jumbo points to the auto driver who helped me out. Thanks again.
-100 points to the people responsible for the diversion.
-1000 points to me for wrongly calculating the petrol-distance figure today. What if you had run out on the way to the station you jackass!!
One-liner: The best thing about staying alone is that you can do anything you want, the worst thing is that you have to do everything yourself.
