On Pause..

This summer afternoon when I came back from work, got to see . no power. I was all sweat and more of frustration for all that stood still at home. Not bothering to change or have lunch, I just rested full length on the floor, after keeping all windows and doors open. Heat takes away the heat... I had such a lovely nap.. no pillow, no bed, no fan, no ac, no tv, no internet, no mobile (battery was discharged).. all me and my son next to me playing joyfully with toys, for his Pogo was off too. 

When I woke up, we decided to play chess,and many other games. I felt no restlessness as nothing held me back. . we decided to sit out in the balcony and chat, we saw the jackfruit, the chikku tree fully fruited and charming.. and lot many details which we had left unnoticed.

Life has come to a standstill when the power failed.. at least that was what I had thought.. The electric maintenance work was over and marked the turning of the fans, beep of the other gadgets.. My son rushed to his Chotta Bheem, and me online to check on my fb and the like..
Our life had now come to a halt.. we were living for the past 3 hours!

    after reading this...one story comes to mind..
    a must read, at least addition to this..
    read Jhumpa Lahiri’s , A Temporary Matter!
    It is the first story in Jhumpa Lahiri’s debut collection, Interpreter of Maladies (1999). The collection won the 2000 Pulitzer Prize for fiction, a rare achievement for a short-story collection.
