between us

"Get up and rinse the clothes ,make chapathis ,soak the rice the dal,"(anne it's one of those regular days.....just get up with a calm and peaceful mind !) "remind grandma to cook rice ,dry the clothes and when they are dried bring them down ,iron the bedsheets ,"(No anne....no...chill ,happens to everyone ....) "clean your cupboard and your wardrobe ,dust your windows ,sweep n sob ,cut the vegetables :8-10 onions ,diced " (tch-tch...there there anne...no girl.....ssshhh) "put the motor on ,clean your table ,bathe the dog ,switch-off the motor ,come down ,go up" (oh oh...okay...no..peace....no bang the plate...chill....no scream...no ssshhh...no SCREAM...)" wash ,wipe ,clean ,tend ,run ,walk ,bring ,take ,"....SHUT UP !!!!!!!!

Excuse-me ,I'm not complaining .....after 5-6 months of "you-have-to-listen-to-my-instructions-even-if-it-involves-brushing-your
-teeth-in-front-of-Price Charles " by the lecturers ,all any engineering student
would want to do is relax ,breathe ,chill ,take it slow ,escape before he/she gets back to another hectic ,life-wrenching ,monotonous semester !


I was born a traveller...well I imagine myself to be one...dreaming of hills and fields and countrside and waterfalls and vineyards and tasting hot sizzing cuisines and creamy desserts .
Okay ...I don't have the "kaasu" for that....so could we atleast go to some village nearby and eat "maize" roti...or lalbagh for the flower show ???
No...all I get to do is take another dose of instructions....I'm getting trained for "you'll have to do all this after marriage !"(yayeiks and double zoinks)......

Hmm...hey that's a good idea....I'll take the training and open a school for the women...to enroll their men...."thumbs-up".....so much for "an idea can change your life" (thanx blog....I sat down here to complain and you've just helped me find a way to make money...."muah")

Okay then let the rain of instructions "reign" on me !.....Gosh I really must be some sort of an optimistic idiot !
