How did this Shi(f)t Happen?

I don't know why but I am not getting the mood at all to blog. I log in. Click 'New Post' and the laziness begins. I just log out of the blog and do the crazy "Facebook and the Twitter" thing. We are now in the Seventh place with Dad- in Karaikal. The list started with Kallimanthayam and continued as Sayalkudi, Ahmedabad, Tirupur, Arupukkottai, Dharmapuri and then now here. So, with Vidhuran problems still on hold our coming to Karaikal had been delaying and so on. Vidhuran (That's my bro) did not want to come to Karaikal.

Actually, my dad was tranferred to Karaikal(not a Tamilnadu affilated. Affilated to Pondicherry. Ahem!) With Vidhuran in his tenth grade last year, we had no choice but to stay in Dharmapuri. As I went to college it was fine for me. During the weekends, Dad would spend currencies and I, too, would fly currencies spending 8 hours of time (me) and 10 hours (him) and of course, energy to see Mom and Bro.

So, now that he has passed his tenth grade, we were planning to ask him to come to Karaikal. But as he had much of friends in Dharmapuri he hardly moved a muscle in accepting our request. As you can see, in our Ration card, the Family's head is Dad - Mr.Raguraman. But in real, Vidhuran in the unofficial Family-leader. Everything acts just like the way he wants, well not everything but certainly the most. His rejection for our request is not good. We can't keep coming to Dharmapuri over the weekends spending Bucks and Energy. Huge waste of Money. But he was firm in his decision. Mom was on fire one side, Dad was helpless at a side and I was cool not bothering about anything. "Finally Vidhuran won the battle" to quote my Mom's exact Facebook update. Vidhuran was admitted in the Same school for his High Schooling. And we made up our minds saying to ourselves "Two More Years".

Mom hadn't lost her hope yet. She used to keep asking him about shifting the house to Karaikal and to be with dad. My college is in Chidambaram which is so close to Karaikal. You know what the problems are: Dad had to pay rent for him. He had to spend on his food. And there is my rent and college expenditure and Food. Bus-charges over the weekend. Would probably take Grands and Grands if it went like this. So, mom kept asking him for the Shift. It didn't matter for me. All I worried about was the money spent on Bus. Freaking 200 bucks every to and another 200 for the freaking fro. 20% more as in case of my Dad.

Vidhuran wouldn't accept under any circumstances. Mom tried convincing to atleast shift to a place nearer than Dharmapuri. It really is very far from every neighbour-place that we go to. Trichy can do the trick. 4 hours from my place and plus two from Dad's. Yet "No. Not gonna happen" Vidhuran's side words. Everyone says that Miracles do happen unexpected. Yes, it turns out to be true.

My dad had been trying to get promotion by attending an interview. He had it hold all these years and now he attended it but unfortunately he wasn't promoted. He thought if promoted, he'd be transferred to a different place and now that he is not being promoted we can't think anything about that.

One day I, Mom and Bro and sitting in the Hall talking about stuff and when suddenly dad called and Mom asked Vidhuran whether we can shift to casually and Bam!- He agrees. We couldn't Both Mom and Dad are happy about this Lightning Speed decision of his and act wisely. The packing was soon done. The school fees was paid already. But good heavens they returned half the money or looted a half. Either way the same.

Few days after his approval of coming to Karaikal, Mom and bro came to Karaikal and searched for Homes and looked into Schools and finally everything is cool. I can come home as I wish. Just an 2-hour journey in bus. Dad's happy with them there to give company. Expenses are less. The only thing is mom isn't in a job yet. So family runs with a Single-engine just like in my earlier days. The home was at first hot and full of mosquitoes and now it is awesome. So glad that Vidhuran at least gave nods now. Now we're all having fun down here.

The new problem is Vidhuran's school conducts tuition class which is compulsory at 6.30 in the morning. He is so mad and he wouldn't go. Someone said, Everything will be Okay in the end. But if it is not okay yet, then it's not the end. Vidhuran will surely attract at least 100 enquiries. Yeah, Mom's in home only. She'll take care of it. Which school-life is complete without an enquiry? I think Vidhuran's High School will get him the highest of Cherishable memories. Hope he gets adjusted soon.

Aah! At last. Typed this in my Motorola. Pretty big post. Fingers hurt. Will post something after finger feels free.

I once wrote on the sands of Karaikal beach which read:

Guhan will be back.
