Weekends and Crime

And just like that, Sunday is fast setting and the weekend fast fading.

It has been a good weekend nonetheless. A jam-packed and fun-filled saturday made way for a lazy and chilled out sunday.

Working on saturday should be made a crime. Really. The fact that people are required to work (forget work hard for the time being) on weekends is sad. Saturday should be the party hard day and sunday should be the chilled out day. But no! The universe being what it is would have it no other way! Nonsense! 

Anyhow, I try really hard to not let my trudge and travails to college/work affect my weekend spirit too much, if at all. So saturday began with 2 hours of class, an hour of paper corrections which stopped dot on time due to dwindling enthusiasm owing to the fact that bullshit disguised as answers were blitzed on quite a few papers and that a beautiful saturday lay ahead of me which I wanted to make the most of.

So post work and a very swift change of attire (for who's gonna paint the town red in a sari?!), I made my way to what I can only describe as a wonderful meal! Kairali, known for its Mallu cuisine drew me to it like God knows what! Good company and good food always make a great combination! So unlimited vegetarian meals, their signature beef chilli fry and chicken kababs made a happy journey to the tummy and mind. All was well. And undoubtedly so!

Post lunch, what makes a lady's day is some soul-warming pampering. A good haircut, an even better hair spa, a head and shoulder massage and voila, it's *kachingg* time! Million bucks, here we come! :D Add girl time spent together during such pampering just triples the experience!

Yes, after we turned many heads many times came some family-friend time! So what was a mums and daughters date turned out to also include a brother and a common friend at the tea party! Pots of vanilla tea, pomegranate tea, masala chai accompanied with sandwiches, chicken momos, french fries, waffles and maple syrup, cheescake, frozen mudpie and chocolate muffins made the tea party what it was - a gluttonous feast! :D

Delicious waffles with maple syrup and butter

The very challenging-to-eat frozen mudpie

AND post that feast ensued some family time with the mother, brother and me where we were whisked off for some comfort food a.k.a Chinese food. I ended my day with a clear soup which was not so nice, but what the hell, I couldn't complain for the day had been nothing short of perfect! :)

Sunday brought baking, leftover Chinese food (I love leftover food!), reading, writing, playing with the joojies, sleep and green tea! 

So, getting back to my point, working on the weekend should be made a crime because see the goodness we'd miss out on then! Criminal!

Weekends, I louuu you! :D
