Summer bummer


*Buzz,buzz,buzz*The annoying buzz of alarm.It's again daytime*facepalm*.Why does sun wake up so early?*double-facepalm* And the day begins with a mandatory shower(yeah,it's summer,sigh!).Choosing what to wear in summer is the biggest dilemma*owing to the fact that half my wardrobe is black,shopping has been added to the weekend to-do-list*Grabbing a quick bite,I run to work.*Vroom,vroom,vroom to the past where there wasn't any Ola/Uber and the only palanquin was autorickshaw* It's still 8 in the morning and Mr.Sun has already started sucking my glucose.Now,the reality hits me,I've forgotten my sunscreen.*triple-facepalm*.Cursing the day,I rush to the autorickshaw stand and after exhibiting my bargaining skills(read it highly-highly-bad bargaining skills),I finally get into my palanquin.With the gush of hot breeze on my face and the sweat streaming down the sides of my face,ah,I look so pretty.*yeah,prettier than the prettiest*.Carrying this pretty face along with the glucose-less body,I enter the work place.Ah,heaven! No,not that I'm totally in love with my work,it's the tandi-hava from the AC that works the magic.I start my work and after 3 mojitos,2 milk shakes and obviously work stuff,tick-tick-tick,time to get back to ghar. Finally,I reach my place and *boom* the power goes down.After a long sunny day,who would want this! Suddenly,my thirst pangs hit me*quite hard* and I open the refrigerator. I search for chilled water and no luck.Then,at this point of time,the priceless words uttered by my mom start ringing in my ears,"Fridge se pani nikalne ke baad,bottle fill karke fridge me rakhna".I know,too late a realisation!Scooping out a few scoops of semi-solid(almost liquid) choco-chip ice cream,I find the way to the sofa.*after hitting my pinky toe to the sofa,tripping over the carpet*It's been 3 hours since air-conditioning and another half hour can start mal-functioning me.I call up the power station,no luck,no one answers.I start fanning with the telephone directory,occasionally hitting my face though.Finally after killing 14 mosquitoes and 3 more fills of liquefied ice cream,the power restores.*yay* Time to hit the bed. I turn on the AC*yeah,for the tandi-hava*and collapse on the bed. Finally my summer day comes to an end and as I wake up the next day,the first thing I notice is the tanned-me and de-tanning has been added to weekend to-do-list.

Happy summer!
End of chai-time!
Stay sparkly!
Lumos!

An ode to thyself





Broken heart,still beating
Teary-eyed,still blinking
Lifeless life,still leading
All for the life's meaning.

Shattered dreams,still dreaming
Society taunted,still living
Loneliness haunted,still struggling
All for the life's meaning.

Expectations high,still keeping
Constraints many,still fighting
Failures hit,still moving
All for the life's meaning.

All for the life's meaning
'Cause life is a painting
 With you easel-facing
 Portraying the picturing.
