It was my day.Yes B'day.I was but for happy that I was turning double two.'Double' and that too of two.Such a relief stating this way.I hate it when the counter increments every year.Believe me every girl does.Hope you get it.Never ever dare ask a girl's age.At least spare me.It was a bright,sunny day the ambience was quite good.The onset of double two carried a statutory warning'CATCH UP'.The day proceeded.....
1. Here came the very first...
Trying to look good on the Bday I was grooming myself in front of the mirror.I was fondling my hair when hell broke loose.A strand stood out of the crowd.It was it was grey no no almost white.It was bolt from the blue.
CATCH UP....your health...U r ageging....huh....greying...ehhh.....
2.Swallowing this lump of grief was a bit too tough for me.Come on I am just double two.
Adversity struck......I learnt about my joining letter handed over to some Manoj in Delhi. Whole three hours were spent hunting for him.Dialing and dialing talking to even those I had never hoped to.Why did Manoj do it?How could he?I hated all Manoj's in the world.Finally he was traced.But how could the company people commit such a grave mistake of sending the letter to a place which wasn't my habitat anymore.I verified my offer letter...Gosh!!! It bore the Delhi address.
CATCH UP ....be alert dumbo!!!!
3. After much of the hullabaloo I planned to help my growling stomach by putting something inside.I was surfing channels for some dose of entertainment when the door bell rang.I peeped through the eyehole.Strange I couldn't spot anyone.What next I thought? I opened the door anyway.A bunch of kids reaching just my knee level were right in front of me.Before I said something one amongst the lot said..'AUNTY'...eeeeeeeeeessssssssh....i felt sick...'our ball has fallen into your balcony'...the punishment for staying on the first floor ..ok I said..trying to digest the heavy word I handed them their sphere .'Thankyou AUNTY'one expressed courtesy.It was too much.A certain drowsiness engulfed me.I went to the balcony and saw those kiddos playing.In the house opposite there was a glass that reflected me.I compared those tiny tots with me.
CATCH UP...idiot u have grown up...You are double two and they may just be 2^2.Understand..You got to.
Enough!!! no way there could be a 4th one.....The above three were too much to handle.
So now that I am twenty two and not double two, I gotta CATCH UP with so many things.
The Big day came and pointed out 'You have grown Big and have to handle Big'.
