Okay. Here is something that is seldom happened to me. Have you ever woke up at your place not finding your parents and only surrounded by DEAD silence!? Well, I did!

November 20th :

Unlike my boring days, this day is pretty hectic. Had to drive a lot(loving these days) Driving in Hyderabad traffic is not an easy job. We are drained mentally and physically. It flexes all your muscles, including your MOUTH! Having said that, you can imagine the toll that our body takes.

Hence was pretty tired and slowly slipped into deep sleep.

November 21st

9 AM: It’s a usual morning, woke to the COOKER sound  in my neighbor’s  place. (Jobless like me cannot afford to sleep peacefully in these concrete jungles!) As part of my routine cleared my Bladder. Later, sat on the sofa with a news paper in a hand. Suddenly I realized that something is missing(Milk? Radio?) Oh no my parents!!

No one was shouting at me to brush, to bathe, to eat, which my mother usually does.  No body was asking me about the headlines in the news paper, which my father usually does. Let out my first shout! No response. Got damn! Searched rooms to my frustration-disappointment couldn’t find them. I was awestruck. Where could they possibly go? That too so early! AS my thoughts were engulfed by the silence in the house. The neighbors cooker has stopped. I could literally hear the ticking of our wall clock.

Thanks to technology, wonder how people used to deal these freaking situations in the age of NO cellphones. Reached my mobile phone, dialed my mom number. There was no response. Damn it! At least something/someone should be responding. How come everything goes into hibernate state at once?

I seriously recommend sarees with POCKETS.  At least a single pocket just to carry a cell phone. Keeping them in Hand bags and keeping those hand bags a KM away from you is not what you intend.

Called up by DAD. Every tring-tring sounded like a F1 Go signal. The 1st question I ask him was what happened? Why did you abandon me? :| (Haha)

I was shell shocked by his reply. He said that, I was informed(when in bed) that they would be going out. Break Fast and Lunch are prepared and kept on the table.

I tell you I swear I don’t remember any such conversation. How could my brain skip such vital matters? Did it take the conversation to be imagination and scrapped it? (I hardly remember my Dreams). Did I hear them and later forgot? Or I didn’t even hear them?

One thing is clear. My brain should be formatted. It should be shown the subtle difference between reality and imagination.
