The human timer!

-

Arjun felt around for his phone on the table side, and snoozed it, without even looking at it. He had an interview that day! The Alarm went on again after exactly 9 minutes, which he snoozed again, but was woken up instantly by the aroma of coffee that filled his room! Mom was there, yelling at him to wake up, complaining and picking his clothes that were thrown carelessly. She prayed loudly, making sure Arjun heard her, to send her son a wife soon so she can be relieved from all these tasks, while arranging his books on the table, lifting his socks on the table with a pinch, searching for its pair!  This was his wake up call, if the alarm didn’t work, his mom was backup! 

“Arjun have your shower, Arjun come for breakfast, Arjun do this, do that!” The human timer was spot on! No app or any organizer would work so relentlessly or efficiently! 

Years passed, the alarm rang. Arjun woke up instantly, did his chores, went to work. There was no human timer anymore to be found!

Leg > Bike

 I met with an accident today! To save my new bike I used my leg to cushion its fall! I have a crack on my middle toe bone! I had gone to Saptagiri hospital initially, the first doctor who operated on me was a student, he was learning to stitch on my leg. During the stitch, I insisted that a real doctor do this. Then the next guy there tried adjusting my bone back over the stitch without knowing that it’s stitched. I was in soo much pain.  Then we decided to go to Baptist hospital, I got admitted and got my surgery done. Atleast I saved my bike.

Snow!

I know it’s hot and humid, But why do I have cold feet?  Butterflies in my stomach,  I’m feeling all that again.  I know I’m in love.  She’s an artist,  Paints sceneries and teaches me the art too!  Organised, clarity in speech,  My “crush”  Then I noticed the ring,  There was perhaps a man in her life?  I secretly wished for someone, just like her.  Then it snowed, just on the inside, My heart felt heavy A song left my lips,  I prayed, I manifested!  Now I wait.

 6:14 am! I took a shower and got ready for class at 7:00 am! But the class got cancelled. So I ended up playing the piano and guitar and singing some old songs.  Then I lost the mood to play the instrument and came back to bed sweating! Then I listened to a lot of Tamil songs, some of which I want to arrange on guitar. Maybe I was listening to a lot of melodic sad songs, the voice lulled me to a semi sleep state.  Then it was class time from 4:00 till 8:30 pm. Long day.
