Close your eyes…
Imagine yourself in a lovely garden, perfumed with the refreshing fragrance of flowers, and echoed with the sweet chirps of birds. Imagine that you are feeling the comfortable breeze stroking your body. Imagine that you are lying down on the soft bed of fresh grass. Imagine yourself smiling at your own thoughts, and then imagine that your semester’s final exams have ended!
An even great thing to imagine with it would be that you have got a whole two-months vacation ahead.
So you see, it’s halla gulla time! OK, fine, I have got so many other things to do in these holidays of mine, but - there is a big and cheerful BUT — I don’t have to study. Well, may be I will. After all I won’t have to take any examination after this study.
So what are my plans? Just one: I don’t wanna make any plan. Plans are there when you need procedure, when you need accuracy, when you need efficiency, when you need speed. And I don’t want my holidays to be procedural, accurate, efficient and speedy. I want them to be spontaneous, random, care-free and slow. Not dead slow — I would be bored then!
May be I forgot. I have got one practical exam left, and one practical notebook to prepare. But who cares. Now are my holidays, and I’ll somehow manage to prepare them. Sometimes, you have to see the bitter face of life!
But not now. Now when I am singing the lyrics of joy, I want myself to keep on singing. Waisay bhi, the weather is quite perfect right now for singing. It’s raining. Fresh water pouring down from sky, and I am sitting here writing these lines?
Why am I not taking a shower outside!

I hope you’re enjoying your holidays as fully as I am (even though yours are 2 months and mine, three days)! Being outside, on the lawn, in the garden, makes all the difference.

Hi Saadat!
Just wanted you to know I’ve blogrolled you again since blogger completely lost my template a few months back. Sorry it took me so long. I really enjoy your site!

Lol @ “Why am I not taking a shower outside!” - the quintessential desi in the rain question.
