The dark side

The Tubelight in my room's been blown off to heaven.. God rest it's soul.. The incident happened last night when it ended it's journey on this earth with a loud pop and a burning smell..

In its absence I have been leading a life pretty similar to what our ancestors used to lead; of course they didn't have the laptop and the fan working but still I am pretty much in the dark ages now, living by whatever little light that filters out of the adjacent rooms..

Now you would ask, why didn't I repair the damn thing or go to my friends' rooms.. ? I have kinda started liking the dark.. You know why???

1. One can't look at one's bulging tummy in the dark and so that's one less reason to be sad off.
2. One doesn't have to study anything; how can anyone expect me to
3. Horror movies look even more awesome when watched in the dark
4. It's simply awesome to play such games in the dark as "Where did I keep my Damn socks>", "Is that my cold cream or my toothpaste I am putting on my face?", "What did I step on just now, my clothes or a mouse>", "Where's the question mark key on the keyboard> "
5. It's in a strange way more peaceful and calm for the mind.. The tubelight sometimes fills your already cluttered mind with irrelevant thoughts.. it's more easier to think in the dark.

Just pray that the hostel authorities take 1-2 more days to replace the bulb.

N one more thing; it's hot like hell in Delhi. It seems like when God created Delhi he said to the people, " Here you go guys, a place where there is almost no rain, where the cold freezes your bones and the heat then bakes them. Go enjoy yourself"

Till Next Time
