Last Saturday I was late to reach home. For a 7 day
working schedule, I prefer to say TGIS (Thank God it is Saturday). One old
buddy invited me to his house for a round of drinks.
“A round of drinks means you drink until your head
goes round and round” he said. He is a jolly good fellow and a good golfer too.
His head is as clean as a golf ball. He is a very good entertainer and a very
talkative person. I, being a very good listener, is a reason that cuts a chord
between us. I find his jokes very funny. I make sure that I don’t have any
drink in my mouth at the point of his ‘punch line’ lest I would spill it on his
carpet. It happened a few times, and he dutifully hands me a napkin suggesting
me to clean up. I do.
So, that was why I was late. My head was not only
going round and round, but also in triangles, squares and many other shapes. I
enter my home with a key that I always have with me, and found my home
exceptionally silent. TV was off, computer was shut down. No shouts of fighting
and squabbling. Lights were put off. I had to step out and check the flat
number painted outside to make sure if it was my own apartment.
