The last week.......

I had had experienced a lot of ups and downs, last week. Here’s a brief summary:

Monday – Wednesday: had loads of work at college. Had to slog from morning 9:30 to 8:30 in the evening. After packing up, 8:45 p.m. was the usual time to have a cup of “cold coffee with ice-cream” or a “soup” at the cyber towers. 9:00 p.m., - used to board the RTC bus and reach home around 10:00 p.m.

Thursday: had been a very frustrating day. Had classes till 7:00 in the evening. Reached home a little early, say around 9:15 p.m. I had been extremely tired, but my brother was in a mood of fun. He had started to play his funny tricks and pranks on me. Initially, I was soft to him, told him very patiently that I was in no mood of fun but “Lato ke bhoot batoon se kaha maante hain”. We fought like cats and dogs, he twisted my arm and I pulled his hair. I kicked him, and he kicked me back in return. We had had a gruesome fight; neither my mom nor my dad could stop us. But the war had to end and it was my bed, which waved the white flag by giving out a creaking sound. We had broken two of its old legs. (Had to sleep on the sofa, as my bed could no longer bear my weight.)

Now, it was my mom’s turn to raise her pitch and like always I became the “Bali ki bakri” again. Any fight that occurs between my brother and me it’s always me who gets the final verbal bashing. “Tu us se badi hain. Tujhe samajna chahiye …… blah… blah…” she stopped only when tears started welling out of my eyes. At that juncture, all those stupid feelings like “ my mom loves my bro more than me. She’s so partial……” spurred my emotional veins. I barged into the study room and my mind got tuned into the following lines that I had penned down (in my new diary)….

MERMAID OF LOVE – HOPE

The ladder’s high,
The ambition’s on run,
But with the naivete lost
I bear the look of
A forlorn lass.

Mirages of hope-
Dangling around me
I know not;
Of the destiny ahead of me.

Spurring desires
And passionate feelings;
Always crown my worried mind.
Oh! How much I crave
For a peaceful paradise;
The loving land of amiable hearts.

My tensed mind awaits
The arrival of the glorious brilliance,
The turquoise vastness,
Blended with the evergreen notes of
Love and peace.

Pray, I would love to be
Touched by an angel.
Still….. , Praying with hope,
The arrival of the,
Mesmerising mermaid who alone;
Can charm the narrow tunnel of
My melancholic mind.


Well, that was Thursday night.

Friday: college was as usual tiresome. Created a new account on g-mail and joined the orkut community. Thanks again to the kind soul who sent me both the invitations.

Saturday: had to get up early for the Ganesh puja. Had a nice day and later in the evening, went to the temple with my granny and mom.

N today, I am at my sis’s place, enjoying the day with my other cousins. As of now, we are pondering over the place to chill out in the evening. The two options being “granny’s place” and “IMAX”, the support ratio being 5: 4 respectively. I am in a nostalgic mood and my heart’s racing for “granny’s place”. Let’s see what comes of it!.
