Its 7 00 Am, and Ishika wakes me up....says, "we have to go"....
i open my still sleepy eyes..and it takes me two minutes to remember that we have to for scavenging...a house......now, as a student in USA, n that too on an F1 visa....u cant afford to buy everything for ur room/house/apt.
So, then by 9 00 am, me, ishika and arpita set off to go to this lady's place, who r leaving for India permanently....so have a lot of stuff to carry back......
The small twist...as we are about to aboard the bus..ishika's aunty calls n says that that lady had told us not to come so early..but then v had classess n that's the only time we could go..
We call that lady and then she tells them they wnt be up till late and that we wudnt be able to get the comforter till then....but that's wat we were goin for..so now wat...we make a long face, n then arpita comments.."yaar, itni jaldi uthe hai kahi to jana padega!"
as if that lady heard her tell this...she calls up again n tells that we can come if want to take some other stuff..so finally our early morning rise not wasted..we ride a bus n subway..search all the streets and after some 1 hr we find her apartment.....hurray!!!
we are ushered in a house that has all its belonging in the living room...its like an invitation...."take watever u want..everythings here".....
and our scavenging begins....first dishes, bowls, small dishes....a coffee mug with a "lid" as satyu has (satyu if u do read this then i got this for free n u had to pay :) )..then lots of hangers...and paper rolls...now these r not costly..but if u get free then wats the big deal...i wanted to take fivc but seeing my roomiee look in her face, took only 3 ;)...
then it was time for the kid to wake up..waise bhi der tak sona acchi baat nahi hai....n we were lucky enough to get our comforters!!!
so finally our mission successfull...now the only question was how wud be take all these home!!!
But, then three donkeys..always pay for the work...so we three finally lugged everything and began our journey back home...n welcoming us was a good strong shower of rain...and by the time we reached home..our sponge bed, n everything including us were wet...
but all in all fun...
how many times do u get fokat ka maal.....lol
