A MonDay

As the 10-day vacations got over, it was time to return back……

At home, my family was busy at early pranayam session……..

Though Maa offered to make tea… I turned down the offer saying “I will take tea from the tea stall outside” …. Maa replied “If you are taking tea outside nowadays …. then its fine”.


Still she made tea while I was taking bath n I gladly had it with biscuits…… N then walked to continue my current target: “Protein Expression”.

---------------------


As I walked into the canteen, the manager called me and said “Where did you and your friends go this Friday? Please don’t do this again. I kept waiting for you till 2pm and wasted Rs 136 worth stuff. I request you …please don’t come here to eat…. I don’t want this to happen all over again.”

I could do nothing …but just smile and return to my friends……


Couldn’t say even “Sorry” …… since it iz still a “Too Heavy Word for Me” !!

This reminded me of a few things :

The Manager had laid faith in me that I would definitely turn up with my friends for lunch and not let the food , his labor n investment go waste ….. I couldn’t live up to it Just bcoz I was lazy enuf to inform my friends on time N had preferred to attend to the Stopwatch set for my project at Cuttack !!

Maa’s words: “If you are taking tea outside nowadays …. then its fine” indeed referred to my earlier statement that I would never take tea outside home.

My words can nowadays not be trusted

My statements cannot be relied upon;

As promises made by me remain unkept

I realize that this sud no longer go on.

Its time for me to change

I sudn’t let myself adjust;

Before it goes out of range

I have to restore in me : “Trust”.


But the day didn’t go so disappointing … as “I have finally learnt the art of putting up a False Smile”……..
