It's 11th November today. And tomorrow's 12th November, which means DIWALI!
8 months, I've been saving my money from the past 8 months so that I can finally call maa, papa and Kartik here, in Delhi, for diwali. For this i cutted almost each and every expense of mine like beers, cigarettes, bike, everything which was not so important.
Instead of bike, i rather went in bus or metro, it was way cheaper than petrol this way and I was able to save much money. Just like this, i finally have money! Trust me, no one can describe how happy I am.
I quickly counted the money 12 thousand, 15 thousand, 18 thousand and 20 thousand! Yes! Finally! Im over the moon, a wide grin spread across my face after counting the money and i quickly called ma. "Hello? Maa?" I said enthusiastically as soon as ma picked up the call "shiv? Beta, kya hua? Itni subha subha call kar raha hai?" she asked worriedly and i chuckled "kuch nahi hua, maa. Infact, I have a good news!" I said excitedly
"Accha? Bata, kya hai yeh good news?" I grinned "maa, I have enough money to call you, papa and Kartikhere for diwali!" Trust me, i heard her gasping in amusement "s-sachi, shiv?" She asked not believe "haa, maa, sachi!!" And I can probably hear her telling this to kartik and papa.
"Shiv, beta, is your maa telling the truth?" Dad asked me eagerly "haa, papa, she's telling the truth" after that I talked with papa for some time and then to my little brother, kartik, that little munchkin is just 13 years old yet.
I was also around his age when I first talked with papa about what I wanted to become...a businessman. It was my dream, but papa said 'shiv, you see me? Who am I? A lowly paid ticket collector. But you, you have to become a good engineer so that you can get a government job and then, everything will be great, all problems will went away' and i believed papa.
And now, I'm an engineere working in a Government company and I earn 30k a month, a decent amount, yet less to live in a city like Delhi. Although I'm able to afford a one room and kitchen in 12 thousand here but trust me, it can barely fit 4 people. Ofcourse.
I keep 5k with me for my expenses and the rest I send it to maa and papa. It's very hard, maintaining a family with this income, but I'm trying, trying to get a more higher post with higher salary as well.
Okay, anyways, no more sad thoughts, I have to go shopping, since maa, papa and Kartik are coming, I have to buy something for them, I'm thinking to buy a saree for maa, kurta for papa, and a t-shirt and jeans for kartik.
Oh yeah! One more exciting thing! I've booked flight tickets for maa, papa and Kartik!! They've never sitted in plane before, and...yeah, I did took loan of some more 15 thousand for this, but they deserve it! It's the best airline of India currently 'Ahuja airlines'.
The plane in which maa, papa and Kartik are coming is 'Ahuja airline, plane No. SB781' I'm so excited, it'll be their first time, sitting in a goddamn plane! I'm really grateful that I'm able to make my family happy, even a bit.
It's already evening! I'm back from my shopping, it was great, just how I wanted, I put the shopping and sweets bag away and finally laid down on the bed. It's 7:38 right now, The flight is at 7am tomorrow morning, and they'll reach at around 8:30 am so I have to wake up at 6 am to pick them up since airport is an hour away from my place, okay done.
I set the alarm of 5:45 and went to sleep, i don't know why im having a weird feeling about this flight...
