The Weekend Roundup

Hi there! How have you been today? All Good? Great! 

Well, the first 10 days of Write Tribe’s Pro Blogger Initiative is over and I’m feeling great. It’s wonderful to be part of a tribe I must tell you. And it is because of my tribe,Write Tribe, that I’m slowly getting back to my blogging groove. That’s a good thing right?

Now about today’s post. Well, I’ve been thinking about what I should write. But nothing worthwhile seems to be really coming to my mind. So I’ve decided to go for a free write today. I’m thinking may be I should tell you about my weekend. 

What say?

Yes?

Let’s give it a try, shall we?

So my weekend began bright and early on Saturday with S leaving for Delhi . Trust me when I say this that our Saturdays don’t begin until at-least 10 in the morning. Really. The early weekend mornings don’t happen unless either or both of us have to travel somewhere. 

After S left then began my usual weekend chores. So without wasting any more time I put my dusting gloves on. I must have spent 2 endless hours dusting the house. No, trust me I do clean my house regularly. But I don’t really know where so much dust comes from. So much that it takes so much time to get rid of! Sometimes I wonder if I live in Bangalore or in the middle of the Thar desert. You won’t believe how much dust accumulates within just a day! Of-course, the way I get completely lost in it amuses my entire family. In-fact, S often says that if someone ever decided to make a statue of mine, it would be with a dusting brush in my hand! Though I would much rather prefer it be a book but anyways. I’m sure S would have said the same thing or something along those very lines if he had seen me yesterday.

Once my battle with the minions of dust was over, I headed over to buy some fish. Being a Bengali has it’s quirks. To say that we need fish would be an understatement. So once I was satisfied with backing up my fish stash I moved to my next stop, Lifestyle. With only a few days left for the 50% sale to be over I thought I should also pick something up. It was a good idea right? So off I went and picked up two pretty shirts for myself. But I’ve to confess something. Those were among the only items on which there was no discount! You know this always happens with me. I go to buy things when a sale is on but always end up putting my hand on the items which are not on sale. Well, if S was around he would have definitely pulled my leg on this, not that he won’t do it over the phone!

After having spent almost the entire day outside yesterday, I’m spending my Sunday on my couch typing this as the television plays on to keep me company. I also plan to spend the evening reading. It’s been a while since I’ve done that.

So that was about my weekend, quiet and not so eventful really. But do tell me what you did? How was your weekend?

  1. I can relate to your dust and shopping story. Somehow the dust finds a way to get in even through closed doors and windows!! And as for shopping… happens all the time… 😀 Good luck with pro-blogging. 🙂

  3. Great weekend planning and fish! I love fish, will share my fish experiences soon. Where I stay there are no malls so I will wait for when I hit town.
    Good round up post and all the best for Pro blogger

  4. Hmm… I spent the last few days planning another trip. 🙂 Free writes are always a breath of fresh air.:) Enjoy your lazing around weekend today. 🙂

  5. That is an awesome free write Nabanita – loved reading about your weekend and you told with such a delightful flow… Mine also included some sale shopping – and like you- came out with what was not on sale… And some exploring in the national park… great nature:-) Congrats on the pro-blogger – you rock lady:-)

  6. The best way to spend a weekend is to do nothing at all and not feel guilty about it. Curling up with a book and finishing it through the weekend is my measure of a good weekend spent.
    Breezy post about the weekend… well spent. Thanks for stopping by.

  8. Dusting! seriously from where does so much dust come from! My weekend was meeting with a friend and Rakhi celebration

  10. That was indeed a relaxing weekend – I would personally skip the dusting part and do every thing else the same 🙂
    Looking forward to the long weekend now! 🙂

  11. Ha ha The usual.I am so much waiting for the sale to end,else every weekend,I believe I randomly contribute to one shop or another thanks to sale.

  26. Dusting…dont even get me started! I now live in a carpeted house, with the glass windows closed most of the time …I m home only in the evenings! And still my vacuum cleaner overflows with dust every weekend!! And fish – yes it's a necessity! Fully agree!

  28. Nothing more therapeutic like shopping! All the more so when there is a sale 🙂 But sadly, all the good stuff are not included there. So who can blame you? I love reading your posts, Naba 🙂

  29. Nabanita, I could see you dusting around the house. 🙂
    On a different note, this post made me all wistful, for I live in a hostel and can only dream about having a house of my own someday.

  34. You will soon Ragini and then you will be attacked by dust 😉 but dnt worry the rest of it will be great 🙂

  35. 🙂 i smiled when you said you went for the sale and ended up buying the item on full price he he he I did the same on saturday .. "NEXT" had a half price sale and i ended up buying a jacked at full price 🙂 funny ..

    I also watched planet of apes the movie in 3d and went bowling 🙂 so it was a good weekend after a long long time ..
