TOW .... School Time !!
from 6 to 7 am , on all weekdays , a certain street in the suburban part of the national capital was engaged in a single activity ... a unique mission : " get Sandeep ready for school " !!
now it was not like young sandeep was not "not-keen" on going to school . infact he was very enthusiastic about going there ( saving the hindi class taken by the old mrs.sharma who had given up on teaching him the diff between oo and ooo ; ee and eeee ki matra ! )
the problem was sandeep's attitude towards life . he believed in living in the fast lane . living on the edge . now i would not go as far as calling the young bastard , wild ; cuz though a little rebellious towards meaningless shit , he never did anything wild ( oh ! tat is saving this time when he jumped from a 8 feet wall thinking he'll make it ( disclocated arm , still not fixed ) , and long jumped a 4 feet wide trench yet again thinking he'll make it ( disfigured face , ofcourse now its kind of attractive ) , and the time he drove for 2 kms on a deserted urban street aaaaall by himself post midnite ) ..... ya so he was not exactly wild , though when seen from the frame of refrence of a woman (mommy nair) who prolly as a girl , wud ve had a heart attack had she not done her home work and "set" the school bag with three sharpened pencils , one spare sharpener and extra eraser the night before and gone to sleep by eight ; the things he did , did seem wild !
so every morning sandeep turned into an assembled unit , with each member of the family and neighborhood focussing on attaching a certain component , or handling a certain function .
all hell would break lose when , 25 mins before the school bus arrived to pick up the young genius , mommy nair finds that sandeep who had been up a long time back had not started getting ready !!
now 25 mins was a lot of time in 'sandeep's world ' , but ofcourse the perfectionist madre did not understand that .
and the axn wud begin :
25 mins to go .... sand-man gazes at the morning sky , acting all cool
20 mins to go .... realises he actually mite be getting late . with underwear on his head , would run all around the house searching for a towel and his underwear , screaming and cursing and complaining . mommy nair , wit a ladle in one hand would come to the rescue .
15 mins to go .... realises he dint do the math HW . decides to not tell mommy nair abt it .
12 mins to go .... half way through the math HW . house is too quiet for things to be going fine . mommy nair suspects . finds sandeep not ready yet !! freaks out !!
7 mins to go .... sandeep is all set . well almost . now , all he has to do is : wear clothes , finish two more division sums in math , polish shoes , tie the tie , comb hair , eat breakfast and oh , set the bag !
5 mins to go .... mommy nair is on the verge of crying , for having had a 'son' who had to act so cool . sandeep continues with the division sums . whilst .... mommy feeds breakfast . pappy nair polishes shoes and puts them on , uncle ties the tie , uncle-two brushes the blazer , neighbor-one puts on the shirt buttons , neighbour-two tightens and buckles the belt . all things happening parallely .
2 mins and 46 seconds to go ..... mommy combs hair , sandeep sets the bag .
2 mins to go ..... sandeep is all set . mission accomplished . neighbors hug one another out of joy . mommy nair is crying ( again out of joy ! ) . standing ovation . national theme is played as backscore .
1 min 35 seconds to go .... sandeep tells mommy nair , " oh man ! now i hafta wait . its so boring . see i told ya , i shud not be getting ready this early "
