Ahoy! It's Friday morning and what a great feeling it is that we - the week's battered souls are hanging loose- literally like clothes flowing on a hanger - around the house; just floating with no agenda for the early morning at least.
Yup, week end's here and we are awake early in the morning. After all, there's a meeting to attend wherein our batteries can quite possibly get charged. So, after sitting like two bears who lazily dump themselves on the two corners of the sofa with the customary tea-cup and biscuit in hand- to be dipped into the elaichi chai; we engage in the activity of flipping through some news channels, only to be bombarded with either advertisements or some seemingly all-knowing ring-laden maa or baba forecasting the day for billions of people who either share the same zodiac or birth number or God knows what not.
Relaxed first phase morning done; the hectic run-down to reaching our respective meetings in time starts with the regular alarm going off every few minutes- We have to be in the car at 9:45 AM sharp. The first dagger-ous (if there's a word) flashes through the mind- Guess I'm better off sitting at home. Next moment - Let me be the first one at the door of the house, all set!
As we sit side by side within the confines of the blessed four wheels, conversation follows. Blessed because while the murderous humdrum of life seems to kill time for conversation, these rotating bodies most graciously allow its inhabitants to converse - until the wondrous invention- the mobile phone rings.
In the afternoon, having attended the meeting, am I glad that I did? What a silly rhetoric. Of course I am. When you hear of another's battles, you learn a lot more than pitying your own situation and asking most dramatically - Why me Lord? You learn that each one has an uphill road, but what matters is who perseveres. The most important reminder of the day this was!
We are about to bid adieu to the day with a sad face..... Nothing has changed - We used to loathe going to school on Saturdays and we kind of dislike going to work on this day... Not a complaint, but the child within refuses to sleep off :)
Just before, discussions happen on the corrupt politician with some food for thought - Are there any angels in today's times? There are only lesser devils..... Hmmm.... Where do I fall??? Let me try to be a shade of grey with more of white at least, try.......
With this thought the fidgety Friday ends, made us fidget quite a bit - physically and mentally too. Hands folded for some restful dreams now.
