When I woke up this morning , I never really realized that I'd mark this particular day under the category of " Historical Days of my Life". It's something that dawned on me when the day culminated with such an exhilarating sequence of events.
So, it was that random morning , like any other , that started off with my reluctance to get up. It's hard to recollect if it was a random thought in my head , or a slight whisper of my own alter ego, that propelled me to pick up that phone and take that first step. On one hand , I thanked airtel for providing me the benefit of messaging , on the other , I personally blamed Mr.Sunil Bharti Mittal , to not have sent me a delivery confirmation, which sort of threw open a certain leeway of ambiguity.
Unable to rest my own curiosity, I ventured out of the house like a hound without an owner. The uncertainty of it all had only began to thicken. The one part of my ingenuous ego, the subtle part, so to say , kept encouraging me to check my inbox , almost momentarily, and the other part , for that matter, mocked me for my own mindless spontaneity, something I'd been really proud of so far.
While I kept cursing all those useless messages that aroused a ray of hope , and that includes CL, Time , Test Funda , JP Infratech, ICICI bank , Airtel , to name a few , a kind of dullness had started to settle in. I mean , the dullness could have been due to the weather , a heavy sand storm was already on the prowl and a dusty shower was only expected to follow. For the pessimist I am , I thought it was over. Earlier , I had kept my hopes alive convincing myself , that perhaps she hadn't woken up, but as the hour hand struck three in my watch , reality struck me a harder. I had already started planning to spend the rest of the day, in the canopy of a novel named " The Age of Innocence" by Edith Wharton. ( At that particular moment , I thought , to read such a title, would only be situationally appropriate)
