Me Myself and the crazy world

Startup: The eyes open and the fan's whirring. It's dark outside the window and I have just broken from my deep reverie. Surprisingly the light in the living room is switched on. How can that be? Usually I am the one who sleeps late on weekends then who's up now? Habitually I pick up my phone lying next to me on bed. I check the time and it says 2030. OK. I just keep it back. And then it hits me. 2030, how come? I pick up my other phone and it's also showing 2030. Thoughts stream through the mind. What happened? Where did the day go away? It was Saturday night that I was sleeping through so how can it be 2030. Did I sleep through the entire Sunday. Noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!!! It can't be. Did I waste an entire day sleeping. Booting: The executables start running one by one. The system started restoring. Secondary storage charged up. No. I had not wasted the Sunday.

After all what life would it be if we didn't enjoy the days that can be (NOM to the other days when it's so hot outside that one can fry omlettes on my head). And heck I am late for office. 0815 hrs: There is no water for the bath. I had slept late last night just because I had turned on the water pump to fill up the overhead tank.
