A Child, the dragon & the santa
Dear Zim,
I was really afraid of your fire yesterday, It was hard why would it not burn me if i came to you without a fire shield and an fire extinguisher.
I was really stubborn of me to think that you will call me for dinner with an intension of frying me and eating me up. I am sorry for the same.
You laugh really good, infact i must admit you have been a good friend to me. I really love when you talk about suko and her child friends, the news of santa getting promoted as trainer to the new “world squad of childs and smiles” is a really good news. It makes me smile with cheese when i try to imagine santa running in front with all the dragons, elephants, fairies all singing their child songs in all their languages. Mr whodo may not like it, but kids will love it. I am sure for that.
I too am trying my best to get out of my daily schedules and give some time to your work. But sometimes find myself trapped in the game of what goes on in Gaza and Sudan.
Really, children have great power, since day before yerterday i was trapped by a child i had to play with him and give up my unwinning quest of winning a batminton game against good players. And well he even did not let me exercise on the jogger. I think he was assigned to damage it parmanently, it could feel it but he did not succeed.
Though he did succeed in- making me clean up my un-cleanable room and make it look sitable. I did succeeded in loosing him afterwards, but it was of no use, i still lost all the games with my bosses friend” Who surely must have labeled me as a lazy man”. He is old enough to forget the facts of adulthood.
Anyways, I could not believe that i really wrote a good poem afterwards. And it did felt great. I had some intution thing going on in my head today, coz i went all the way across to the town to catch a bus timed at 1130 hrs which again brought me back to my colony faster then i had reached the town. Well, but my intution was right, i did met the girl. But i could not find a reason to talk with her. I am a shy person. I tried to find a reason to talk but found myseld speaking about my torn off pant. Which somehow got torn off while i tried to move to the third seat in the row.
I did ask her- if i could help her taking her bagage, but she sincerely denied. It was hard on heart but i did took it, i think doing situps helps you to let go of pain. Anyway now i don’t think i will ask her again(Should I ??). I will back to my office tomorrow, loving the same machines, though i am starting to feel a call from inside when find myself passing of from that garden again-n-again and trying to find a reason to break my leg or something in such a way that i can visit the hospital but still stay out of trouble from office. My wont tolarate any accidents at office and it is very difficult to find a place outside to break a leg, that to in such a fashion that i am not detained from going to site while i am hurt.
Its difficult to love a nurse if you are an field engineer already in love with your machines..
Anyways thankyou for the dinner yesterday. And Say my thanks to suko for accepting the offer. The gear for santa, i think must be in progress, i know it is very difficult with the melting glaciers at noth pole but i know we will manage somehow.
With love and smiles,
Apurva
