Just another lazy Sunday…


I hate Sundays. The feeling of having to face another 5 days of mayhem kind of takes away the charm of Sundays...Had a simple breakfast of bread, eggs and sausages (simple??) and walked out of the kitchen to park myself on the sofa. My husband was watching TV, my son was watching Ra.One movie yet again on the little portable DVD player that he carries around and I just dint feel like joining them both at the time..

I realised that I wanted to be alone for a while. I dragged a chair to the balcony and sat there looking at my plants for a while and then outside, at nothing in particular. ‘No’, I don’t have the luxury of having a 'view'. But still it’s green enough considering the city standards. I sat there for a pretty long time...looking into nothingness…the very attractive blankness or emptiness or void.

I kind of like this feeling of blankness. Each person responds to this blankness in different ways though…some people enjoy it…some run away from it…some seek company to take away the void…I cherish it..You just cannot compare this feeling to 'boredom'. This is a boredom which you tend to appreciate and welcome once in a while as it doesn't come by often..

I was glad that even the lunch was all prepared and ready in the fridge. Thanks to microwave. Take food out of the fridge, heat it up and it’s ready to eat. After lunch, it was back to square one. You know what I did….went back to the same old chair in the balcony, sat back and enjoyed a book, 'Santa Cruise' by Mary Higgins Clark and Carol Higgins Clark. I had company this time though...a familiar friend in Mary Higgins Clark and a green bowl with 3 scoops of vanilla ice cream. Yeah, 3!! You got me right. It was drizzling the whole day and I was enjoying an ice cream….. Hmmm…What more can u ask on a Sunday afternoon..
I don't hate Sundays always!!!
