It’s raining still. Not as badly as on the Terrible Tuesday but raining nevertheless, around 141 mm, far less compared to the 933 mm. The low lying areas have got flooded however and public transport’s slowed down, at many places brought to a standstill. Some boats have been sent out to ferry people and distribute food packages to affected areas. I have been at home yet again another day and frankly it’s boring.
I did some work around the house, curled up and read and read for a long long time, surfed the net, chatted, saw movies and television, (electricity and net connections are erratic still) played games, sat and talked with my family, contacted friends…………and still I am bored, I miss my job, I want to go outdoors, I don’t mind walking around in the heavy rains either or wading around once again, someone get me out of here.
My mom has been cooking all day, she is bored too, wants to go to work as much, and to keep herself busy she has been cooking all day since past few days, she cooks and cooks, all kinds of delicacies, which is good, but then we have to eat and eat it all and that’s what all we seem to be doing. She always finds things to be done around the house, won’t sit idle for a minute. But now even she is running out of things to be done.
The TV is tuned in to news channel most of the day. They keep on reporting from the flooded areas and keep giving “updates” (which is in fact the same thing repeated over and over again in so many different words. They seem to be making up for their inability to report on the Tuesday floods) I have heard them so many times I could do their job now.
Life seems stagnant right now, about time I shake it up, come hell or high water I am going out tomorrow, even if it is just for a half an hour.
