Me and the three clones I need

The last weekend has been a memorable weekend in many ways. It has also been a weekend during which I missed out on a lot of memorable moments. There are always times when I wish I could be at multiple places at the same time. This urge to be at multiple places at the same time was never as big as this past weekend.

Over the last weekend, I needed myself to be where I was. I was on a trip to Krakow, Poland. It was an amazing trip is the least I can say about it. The skinny Dutch made for some good company and he definitely made picture perfect arrangements for it. The place we stayed - Little Havana Party Hostel was an amazing place. I did the first pub crawl of my life AND made it till the very last pub too. The trip to Auschwitz, the abnormally large bunch of Australians and a beautiful old town made the trip an everlasting memory in my mind.

So basically, I need me to be me. I need myself to live the way I want to live and do the things I would do in case cloning isn't an option. Even though it sounds obvious, sometimes it’s just difficult to be yourself.

Clone 1:

I need this clone for my family. My sister became a mother this weekend and I wish I could be with her and the rest of my family. She also had her birthday this weekend. Hence, there were 2 very important reasons for me to be in Bangalore, India instead of Krakow, Poland and if I had a clone, the first one would definitely be for the family.

I've realised over the last few months that I'm not good at handling relationships (of any kind) at all. There is a very small set of relationships that I have preserved over time and this small set of people is the only group that I continue to make an effort to be in touch with. My mom misses me everyday. I miss her hugs everyday too. I miss chilling with my high school buddies - food, gossip and pulling each other's leg (majorly, mine).

I really wish I had a clone that I could dedicate to the relationships that matter to me - family, friends and everyone else who makes my life a little less lonelier.

Clone 2:

One thing I missed this year was Roland Garros 2016. Ever since I set my foot in Hungary, my one aim has been to find my way to Paris to watch Tennis, the first love of my life. I missed out on the passes in March and unfortunately, the dates clashed with my exams as well. However, I did not imagine I would end up missing the final of Roland Garros, especially when my favourite, Novak Djokovic was playing for the Career slam (winning all 4 Grand Slams in 1 calendar year).

I saw his tears of pain last year when Wawrinka took the title from him. I had been waiting for his tears of joy. Novak did manage to win this time. Unfortunately, I did not manage to witness it. Tennis has been a constant in my life from the age of 8. Every time I step into the court, I transform into someone else.

I really wish I had a clone that could spend more time on sports. Not just Tennis but also basketball and football. I wish this clone also learns how to swim since all the others won't!!!

Clone 3:

This clone has to be for the things I did NOT miss over the weekend in Krakow - house chores. I definitely need to have 1 version of me going grocery shopping, cleaning, cooking and washing the dishes and clothes.
