A sweltering sunday afternoon...The only sound worth mentioning was the steady rumbling of the old ceiling fan desperately trying to keep the temperature down, but all in vain as the might of the summer sun out side was no match for my poor fan...Still she gives enough comfort to keep both nerves and the brain calm-at least enough to keep me sane....
Having nothing to do constructive I kept tossing from one side to the other of the only comfortable luxury item for me-my bed...Staring at all the four walls like a maniac I kept thinking how another week passed away and it was time to start toiling again.The time duration between a sunday and the approaching monday sometimes seems so less that you actually repent why its a sunday at all...I thought I will sleep off the afternoon and rejuvinate myself but realised soon that was impossible in the present condition..Next I thought let me think of all the things that I like the most and make a list of them in accordance to priority.I failed horribly in doing that as well since it seemed I could not prioritise or zero in on anything other than good food...
I even went to the window once or twice hoping to catch a glimpse of my attractive neighbour but guess she was tucked away in the comfort of her ac not bothering to loiter in and around the window...plain selfish people..
The idiot box in such days is not of much help either as the repetetive programs and movies gives you anything but respite.Suddenly the power went away and all hell broke loose.I sent a silent prayer to the Almighty to restore back the power immediately or He might loose an opportunistic believer of His who remembers Him only in times of distress..But I guess I am not an exception in this case, I consoled myself...But He was busy listening to others as the power was away for good 30 minutes and I was half baked half roasted and partly fried and steamed by the heat and in my own sweat...I treid imagining all sort of things right from being in the beach to lying dwon beside a swimming pool to help me forget about my misery but was unsuccessful in getting the forced "Nirvana"...
Finally the power was back and so was I to life...I finally gave up all the fantasies that I was drooling on and decided to do the best possible thing I could under the given circumstances....Yes I made a cup of my favourite black tea and spread out on the chair....The first sip made me realize that even such small things can sometimes give a lot of rejuvination....I attained peace of mind at last!!!!!
