Life-ing it up...

'I'll go take a shower.' 'Time for a shower!' 'I need a shower.' How I wish, I could say all these and mean it. That it factually happens and does take place after I have said it. Well, no luck there though I still do say it a lot, and text it a lot, like in a chat, casual conversations, etc. You see, it has got a nice ring to it rather than saying, 'I'll go take a bucket bath.'  Erm, that is like, unromantic to the core. However, is it even possible to say and mean this fabulous sentence in this city. Think about it. (I did, in the vast time I had during lockdown) No, really, just settle down and think. Because, let me tell you plain and simple, it is simply, no es posible . According to my observations, (my really minute and diligent observations) by the time you are up and so is the sun, the fabulous sentence in question becomes untenable. Normal people like you and me who dream of standing under the cool stream of the shower to wash down

Do you remember the lines, 'What is this life if full of care, We have no time to stand and stare...' ? Chances are, most of us do and the thought bubble coming up in everyone's head says, 'Yeah, right. But where's the time?' Well, my fellow sufferers of the urban-work-at-home-mom-choc-a-bloc-busy-busy life, there's one panacea of troubles I could suggest. Meet Calvin from 'Calvin and Hobbes' , oh! you couldn't find another darling to put all your worries and frustrations to rest (just count on his parents, they'll handle it just fine). Over the years, of reading his strips I have now graduated to books of him and every night before going to bed I treat myself to a little dose of him and I sleep with a smile that takes care of a pleasant morning the next day. This nightcap includes my husband as well while our very own 'Calvin incarnate' sleeps like an angel. Not to forget, his philosophies are mind-numbingly thought provoca
