Typical sunday morning. I wanted to sleep more but like an annoying alarm clock my kids wake me up. I rush around trying to do all the things at once. There is a lot of commotion around me. At an unearthly pace I finish all my chores and they still keep piling up. There is always something that needs to be done.
Anyway, you get the picture of my lovely sunday routine. However today I am waiting for Sunday 4:30 pm. I am in a good mood by 4:00 pm. I get dressed and as the clock strikes 4:30 pm I am out of my house like a bullet leaves the gun. Finally the time has come, my one hour away from the regular chaotic life.
I go over to my friend's flat. A few of us are gathered to celebrate our friendship, kind of a gals night (or an hour probably) out. A says "Arre did you know kalyani's sasubai slapped her?" B says "Arre that is nothing did you hear that Harsh is in a bad shape? Poor guy is still in coma.." C says "I knowwww, that kirti should be put in a jail..she is messing up koyal and harsh's life.." blah blah blah (You must have realized that we are not talking about real people but reel life people here from our beloved daily soaps). Suddenly D says "Arre guys please gimme a good bai's name yaar. Meri bai chutti bahut marti hai..I had to scrub floors for last 2 days.." E says "My bai is also no good. har do din baad koi na koi ghar pe bimar hai bolti hai and then she leaves early.." blah blah blah..(Unfortunately these are real "kaam waali bai-s" that we are talking about.)
P comes loaded with garama garam chai, coffee and biscuits. We all have a cuppa and keep on chatting and laughing. Amongst our gossips and "faltu gappa" along with a cuppa tea I begin to relax. Listening to my friends chatter, all the mundane, ordinary, daily life things. And somehow sharing these things with my friends makes it all easier to bear the regularity of life.
That is what i realized we dont need too high funda life to be happy. Happiness can be found in most simple and insignificant details of daily life. But of course life becomes more spicy and worth it with Sundays, Dost aur thodi si Chai........
