Durga Puja 2013 has arrived. Yesterday I had my first accident (hopefully last) with my new Wagon R car, when I was coming out of the society. I had just come out of the blind turn when a young girl driving a maruti who was also turning to go out, dashed into my car. She should have stopped as I was already ahead of her and going in first gear, but she was driving at a high speed and I was horrified to see that she did not stop at all and DASH! This is what happens when you expect others to break and you don't. She denied that it was her fault at first but people collected there said it was her mistake and then she agreed to pay for the damage to my car. I took down her name and number but now I have to go through the headache of getting the car repaired/insurance etc. Every puja this sort of calamity is happening. Last year before puja, I fractured my toe, and had to suffer for 3 months before it healed. Today I took D for bhog at the pujas and driving in a sari & parking my car and then extricating it was really hassling. But I hope I am getting a grip on my driving now. But my poor car, sob sob..... I am watching two serials on TV - One is Big Boss 7 and the other is Jee Le Zara. I like DV's acting a lot in the serial. He looks very cute when he smiles, not so much when he frowns. I think orange must be his favourite colour, he wears it a lot in the serial. Sanchi's acting is also good, she was looking really pretty in the pearl set in the wedding episode. The pace of the serial is good, not like the awful ekta kapoor saas bahu serials, where they pause the story at every conflict and show the shocked expressions on the actors faces, turn by turn for about five minutes, repeating the same frame a couple of times. Boring! In Big Boss the most hateful character is Armaan Kohli and no doubt he will manage to stik around till the last. The goodies like Ratan , Apurva etc will all be eliminated. Andy is good - funny and open. Among the girls - Kamya is strong, Gauhar is too loud. I can imagine she will be a milder version of Dolly Bindra when she is older.
