After a much needed Friday night party, I woke up early in the Saturday morning. There’s this strange thing in me; whenever I add some alcohol to my dinner, I have a tendency to wake up early on time. My eyes opened up at 7.49am, my mobile confirmed. Good job! My hands quickly reached out to the water bottle nearby; I had to call the nature at my schedule. Soon enuf, I got the kicks, rushed towards the bathroom. I never forget the fag along with me. Shit! Where’s the towel? Ugghh!! i ran to pick it up and put my ass down in the throne.
Temple- Tell you what, my bathroom is my temple. It is this place where I pray to God, thank him for everything, think of the world and life and come out enlightened. But this was no ordinary day…only later that I came to know.
I started my experience. Oh! What a relief!! There are few experiences I regard among the best…Drink water after thirst, clear your kidney after a long wait, a hard-earned orgy and this is another. I was just breathing a sigh of relief, when suddenly…”WILL YOU EVER GET RID OF THE JUNKIES THAT YOU EAT EVERYDAY”, echoed a voice. I was like who’s it? “Sir, you mind introducing yourself!”. “It’s ME, you guys call me GOD, your soul…”. “Now, what the hell are you doing here? As far as my knowledge goes, I knew you as being straight, not sure if ‘am misinformed”, I said confused. “Now cut the crap and answer to me”, he was furious. It took me sometime to get real.
“Well, actually! I stay single and find it difficult to walk up to the kitchen everyday and therefore I head for the nearest joint to have food, you know it all”. “Will you ever get out of the excuses, and get sincere”. I forgot who ‘am talking to. “And what’s this fag doing here with you”. “It helps to put the nature as per my schedule, you know”. “Now, don’t act smart, don’t you call me tomorrow when your partner looks for alternatives other than you”. This was big; I immediately lit off the almost finished bud. “You know it all, sir…all the work around me, responsibilities etc. keeps me under a lot of stress, so I go for a smoke or two”. “Bugger, who are you playing with, I never created you indifferently. And by the way, what are your problems; help me count some”. “Sir, where do I start from…the credit cards…there’s lot of pressure to close them”. “Boy, you should have used it sensibly”. “Why do you keep increasing them time to time”, I shot back putting the ball at his court, yeah! Well, you were one of my chosen ones to have availed it, BUT NOT ANYMORE”. Meow!! “Sorry father”. “Okay! Now…move on”.
“Sir, It’s this hair that’s causing a problem, I mean I don’t get this attention at all these days, you know, am loosing it all. There’s no hair lose as such but the root itself is getting blocked, could you help me with this? ”Huh! What were you doing all these years; did you ever take care of your epidermis? “Well, yeah! I guess not”. “But yeah! I did put a lot of efforts in my professional aspects, then why am I still getting peanuts”. This was a sure shot blow I thought. “So that you learn the hard way, concentrate on basics, lay your foundation, you’ll reap rich dividends later”, now this was a soother but I wanted to ask him about the end of this never ending process. Nevertheless, we moved on.
“So, what’s up next, what are your plans ahead?” “Well! I have made some action items, you know…”. “Stop there! I’ve been listening to these every first month of the year, would those ever get into the implementation stage” He shouted before I could close my line. “Well sir, I have been making efforts but somehow could not”. “Its high time you get your act together, boy!!” I nodded my head in agreement. HE was right.
“Alright now, get yourself cleaned up now…would you? Keep working sincerely…that’s all I would say. Give a buzz to your inner self, you’d find me around you. But yes, don’t you call me here, I’d be better off in your living room".
I did not hear anything else after that, silence prevailed in the bathroom. I quickly cleaned up, soaped myself up like never before, and came out. Yet another lesson…came out enlightened.
