It is a lazy Sunday afternoon. I am lying down after lunch when my mother calls me.
"What are you doing?"
I mumble a soft "Nothing important, Ma. Just lazing around".
A few minutes of gen chit-chat and we put the phones down.
After about 15 minutes, I get up and tie my unmanaged hair into a ponytail.
The laundry bags are full; I soak the exponentially increasing amounts of dirty laundry in warm water.
My almirah needs a bit of tiding up. I carefully fold the big pile of clean laundry one by one. Shirts, trousers, skirts, tops, jeans, t-shirts, undies and socks all go to their respective shelves in the almirah.
In the meanwhile, the dirty clothes have been soaked enough. I lug the WET and HEAVY clothes to the washroom. On the way I notice Archi sleeping late, so I go wake her up. I do the laundry and put it out to dry.
My table is half full with dirty dishes from the mess. I go and return them.
I also remember that I had bought lots of fruits the previous day. I peel the oranges and bananas, cut the apples and guavas, mix them with the grapes, and prepare fruit chat out if it. I am happy with the result and share it with my wingies.
The spiders have been frightening me and Nils since days together, so I decide to clean the cobwebs.
While at it, I realize that my book-rack is untidy. All that is set right in a few minutes.
All the dust on the floor, I must sweep it clean.
By now, I feel exhausted myself so I casually sit on the bed and rest my tired back on the pillow.
Mother calls again and says "You sleep all day. Why not get up and do something?"
I throw a puzzled look... "Huh?!!!!!!!"
Yes, that’s another classic example of how my work goes royally unnoticed every single time. I just sit and sleep all day, you see!
c'mon SU.........who is it you are trying to fool here? Your mom doesn't follow our blog....and neither do your crushes(if you are hoping that they'll realise what a homely girl you are..nd might think of you as a prospective something something :P) The part where you mention it's a lazy afternoon is fine,next should have been that you are a lazy girl....who sleeps all day long..who has actually slept for atleast 15 hours each day for the past few days....Rite NILS??
