You feel so tired and exhausted. The only way your brain could function is with coffee. Drink some, drink some more and more. You are tired you drink coffee. You drink coffee you stay awake late night. Or you wake up all alert at 3 am. So sharp that extreme Suduko is complete in minutes and then you get up sleep deprived. You drink coffee to function. Doesnt help. Doesnt help at all when you are Iron defecient. You pop in Ferrous Sulphate as advised by Doctor. Iron upsets your tummy. Was the Ferrous to make you not tired or to make you tired. More Ferrous I take, more upset my tummy gets. More tired I get. Is it helping? To this deadly mix add coffee. Lifes all merry all around. Coffee to help you, where Ferrous fails. Coffee to help you all day long. Coffee to keep you going. Too tired, too tired. Oh my mind is so alert at 3am. Alert enough to solve all worlds problems. But making me tired all day long.
When its not your native language, the intepretations we sometimes make based on context or several other things could be really funny or completely jibberish This one goes like this, a man is singing to his son and he says 'tujsee naraaz nahi zindagi hirenu hu me, teri masoom sawalon se pareshan hu me' basically Life is not angry with you, and I am suprised, I am irritated with your innocent questions. Who in their right mind would say something like this. Is he saying, you are so innocent and young that life is not angry with you yet? Or is he saying you are so young, you dont have anything yet to be angry with life. So my young mind pondered over it. But who cares what it means, the song was soothing and we did sing for many years and one day it dawned to me. He wasnt siging to his son at all, he was telling life I am not angry with you, I am just surprised at the things that you throw at me. This one did bowl me over.
Two deaths in the last two weeks. One I heard today, is of my school principal. We called her Princi Mam. She was scary, not exactly like Miss.Trunchball. She never took any lessons for ud. But when she did come walking in the corridor, everyone would go silent. She would inspect us preparing for Sports day or Independence day March and shout, stand straight. You are not old ladies and grandpas. Walk straight. Keep your back straight. Another of her pet peeve was 'bathroom slipper', she would catch boys wearing slippers on Saturdays and embarrass them why are you in bathroom slippers. Ya, we were allowed to go in non-uniform clothes on Saturdays. My superpower was being invisible. The scariest part was when I lost my super power. It was in 8th std I think. She came to my class, she looked at me and she said. Yes, cast her. She has long hair, she would make a good angel. Do I like an angel in any shape or form? But thats how I ended up with the only speaking part ...
