A Saturday in the life a jobless teenager....
I spent a very very relaxed day.... I went to bed at 1030 pm last night and got up 850 this morning… That long a sleep can cure any ailment in the world- 3 hrs of travel for five consecutive days in an SVCE bus included... It's really unfair that a few of us have to make do with, hell suffer on, dog-van like buses whereas some of our darn lucky college-mates get to go on airbuses. It's bad enough knowing that they're more comfortable, but those dratted pigs flaunt their good fortune every day, going past us EVER so slowly, reclining on their push-back chairs as three of us struggle to squeeze into one seat each of us holding our bags on our laps or using them as leg rests. (If God does indeed exist he sure doesn't visit the SVCE transport office!)
As I was typing, before being side-tracked, my super lazy day began late and continued leisurely as my friend, Stutie came over. We talked for hours and hours as only girls can(and Vivek) and about everything from guys to face wash to engineering graphics, again as only girls can(I'll spare Viv this time around). It's really amazing how you can make fast friends with a few people. It's just a wonderful feeling when you meet someone and realize I can confide in this person without the worry of being betrayed at or laughed at... It could be the moment when that person confides their worst secret in you; it could the first time you cry to them or it could be something as mundane as the first time you go to a temple with them. In my case of course, the moment was when my friends finally decided to tell me that I'm gonna be stuck with them for a long long LONG while.... It's happened to me about four times in my life... I know I'm terribly lucky though...
After Stutie left, pushed into doing so by Vivek’s persistent calling, I settled down to watch “To Kill a mockingbird”. Vivek and I, both in love with Atticus Finch, enjoyed every instant of the movie, which was almost as good as the book. Casting was perfect really- Gregory Peck WAS Atticus Finch and Mary Badham WAS Scout…. Of course, my being in love with Mr. Peck only made the movie more enjoyable! (For me that is- Vivek looked at me with barely contained disdain as I swooned over his every movement and every word.) After making completely vague and indefinite plans to meet tomorrow, I bid farewell…
The day was almost at an end, I had nothing to do but eat and lie back with book and wait for the angel of sleep to gather me into her arms and lull me into a blissful temporary death…
