Weekends Diary
60
A special weekends
One more Sunday was buried from my life.
It was not a special weekends but was a very important day to me. Like each weekends routine, I had a schedule for this Sunday included one extra task. I put maximum part of the day for doing some creative exercise. I planned for practice writing. As it was an off day, I left bed two hours late than usual. I had planned last night that I will complete my Sunday works as early as possible. I will take out maximum time from it. Then I will sit with my Laptop and write a draft on yesterday's workshop, a brief report. At least I will make notes of the main discussion points and deliveries. In the evening will go out for the walk or will do some shopping.
It was 10:15. After getting fresh I was looking for some food for breakfast. I found nothing in my room but biscuits only. I had decided to go out for tea and snakes. I wish it will be better if I bring some eggs and milk for breakfast. I moved out from my room and enter to one of my friend’s room, on 3rdfloor of the same building to take him with me for the tea. TV was on with some interesting shows and Sunday Times was lying on the bed. I had no plan to waste any moment in reading newspaper or watching TV. On that moment I was unable to through them out. They drew my attention and I had to sit on bed with the newspaper. When I felt obsessed with the news and was getting hungrier, I stood up and pulled out Kajal da from his bed. While we were warming up our lips with the sips of tea at the tea stall, it was 11:10 am of the day.
Though I was present at the tea stall physically, inside my mind I was thinking how could I finish writing the draft? When my regular works would be finished? When my laptop would sense the warm touch of my fingers? I was pocking Kajal da to go back to home soon but his simple reply was, "what we will do in room, it is boring to sit in front of TV whole day. I feel it is better to spend time here as much as possible." How I would make him understood that I can't hold my patience in wasting time this way.
Back to room and I cleaned the floor, washed clothes, and cooked food for lunch. I finished my bathe and lunch. At 2:30 I became free from all Sunday to-dos. I was preparing my mind to start with my new task. Opened the laptop and switched on power. Not able to switch it on. What happened? Battery had been drained in last night and no electricity in the plug point. How I would go ahead with it? I fixed my mind to focus on the new task. But surroundings are not favouring me. What should I do?
It was quite cold inside the room. I reached on the terrace to get warmth under the direct sunlight. Standing on terrace I kept all my day’s plan aside. I was feeling heavenly standing under sunlight after having mid-day meal. It is four storied building. Standing on the top of the building I was watching the full view of Gurgaon city around me. It was so beautiful.
I wasted one and half more hours on terrace.
Went back to my friend’s room and picked up the Sunday Times. At that time electricity came back. But I had lost my interest to sit with any serious work. I lay down on the bed and started to surf channels on TV by remote buttons. Outside the room evening was preparing to cover the day with darkness in the fast pace.
At 6:30 Somu and I went out for evening walk in the nearby park. I did shopping for few things. I spent the day with all schedule tasks but one. What I had missed, it was my practicing of writing. I had planned to make it a special Sunday with special task. But it ended as all other weekends.
