Boredom.

Every summer as far as i know brings with it, summer showers,the fragrance of wet mud, mangoes and an intense longing to be young .....and when i mean young i am talking about.....chadi may khelna (playing in your knickers- kiddos basically).

Remember those days when final exams are over and there is a great buzz of excitment going around in your head and all around you.
kids basically losing it and playing till you drop......mothers shouting at you to get outta the sun and have an afternoon nap and all you can think is when is evening coming when can i stop pretending to be asleep.

Growing up we had all these power cuts but it never made us grumble on the contrary it filled us with joy...coz it meant more playing while adults sat on their verandas slapping away at the mosquitoes.while we bugged each other.

nowadays summer only means inane stuff like "its damn hot" ," i have a splitting headache ", " man the heat is killing", "gosh my skin is so tanned". and more than anything its really BORING , the heat kinda bores you to death...... i remember even as a kid being bored by the end of summer but it was a romantic boredom full of possibilties...afterall school was re-opening and all those lovely new books with stickers................summer is here...and iam bored. at this point of my life it just means there is no end to it! only the begining of another kinda boredom, really why would anyone write this kinda rubbish....man i must be really bored!

babe, boredom set in when we were kids tooo..i remember i killed mum to death saying i am bored ma. but then we always found something to do. Always. be it painting, be it playing god god, doctor doctor, dolls, beating up siblings, rob mangoes and gooseberries...there was so much to do. But now we are perpetually bored coz we are bloody complicated in our stupid heads. we cant think of possibilities. we limit ourselves to thinking there is more cooking and cleaning and scrubbing to be done. feed the kids, take them to the park and crib about husbands not being around. i think it is us, our heads, really. Its time we got outta this life which is really not ours u know...we are pretending to be someother beings man. lets just be us, the way we were. cared two bloddy hoots about the rest.
