Woke up with a start when the bell rang this morning. It was 10. And I’d overslept. Even for a Sunday. So much for having a dog. Apparently some dogs wake up their owners at like 6 everyday. Milo is not one of them. He wakes up when I do.
It’s pouring cats and dogs. Trying to take the dog out in the morning rain is another story. Managed to get his raincoat on, grabbed my umbrella and we went out. Now, walking a dog who doesn’t want to get his feet wet can be painful. And it was.
Back at home, I realise I am late for a resident representative committee meeting. More politics follows. This was supposed to my relaxation day. Hair cut , a run and then curling up on the sofa to read and finish Tuhin Sinha’s Of Love and Politics. Riding the Enfield is ofcourse out. However there is still hope. I could be done with the haircut, the run and still be back at home for a late lunch. Milo and I leave for the salon. Saroj, my man friday offers to drive us( Milo too, with all the rain and Bombay’s reputation for flooding can’t risk leaving him at home, incase I get stuck somewhere). Once I reach the salon, Milo, after seeing the rain, decides to stay in the car!!
What was going to be a quick trim now becomes a long drawn affair with me being talked into colouring my hair. 4 hrs later, I head to the gym for a run. I strain my eyes in the locker room mirror to catch a glimpse of the ‘colour’ that has taken so long. Not seeing much I head for the weekly run. Or atonement . An exhaustive leg workout, run and shower later I finally head home. Milo, waiting patiently in the car, licks my face clean of all the moisturiser I had just applied. And it’s still raining as we crawl through traffic.
An early dinner, follows another attempt to walk Milo, failing again. I am on the couch, not quite curled up, 6 hrs later than planned , finally reading my book( with Milo in my feet). Yes, I could still call it bliss.

Hi Gul
It was a pleasant surprise to see your blog entry. Seems like you are blogging once in a blue moon only nowadays.
It was a nice read. Now that we know what your Sunday was, let me tell you how my Sunday was.
It was a rainy Sunday here at Kochi too. That is it began and ended with rain. I woke up to rain at 8 am. Lazily, helped Ma with some cooking, went for a movie “The Blue Kite” (Mandarin). Took two books from the library. Now reading “The Maruti Story”. Read the weekend’s paper. Cycled after quite long for some time. Watched another movie on TV “Calcutta News” (Malayalam). Now it is raining here like in the morning.
Do post more often.

Hi
Gul,
Your daily Diary detail are interesting.
Your pet milo is very lucky to lick your beautiful Visage.
Like Dhoni you should also not trim your hair
You look very sexy in long hairs
Yeh Mumbai ki barsat mein apka bhigna
Bhige badan mein angdai shuban allaha
Kash humko bhi didar ho sakata apke husan ka
Humse jayada to milo Kush naseeb hain
Gul Panag
Hey Midhun. You watch Mandarin Films?!
Super impressed!
Thanks Hitesh I hope to make it to the next #indiblogger meet as well:)

Hey, just saw the trailer for “Turning 30.” Looks great. 🙂 good luck.
And this line from Purab Kohli was nice:
“I can’t be your rebound sex toy forever.”
If I were single, I’d have disagreed with that.
rashpal
on a lazy Rain sunday
make it a funday
just chill at home
as pot hole of Mumbai

Just tweet & connect

Hi Gul
I have read about your Herbal Smoking in a movie. I appreciate your sincerity for spreading anti smoking message. Also the evil of tobacco was told by Guru Gobing Singh during his time. It is now established by Medical science the cancer causing property of tobacco smoking.
Some peoples are inspired by
Sanasar ki her shai ka itna hi fassana hai, ek Thund se anna hai, Ek thund mein Jana hai
I congratulate you for showing concern for not smoking a Cigar!
I think Cigarette smoking should be banned companies like ITC are diversifying to change business line.
Gul your views for a great cause should reach masses.
This is also a great service to Humanity. As prevention is better than cure.
We must take pledge not to touch tobacco.
