WHAT a DAY...................(summary)

This is about a day, when everything went just right.....ya! Believe it or not, there can be days in life which can actually be if one can call them "Flawless". Seems more like fiction but it actually happened to me...so talking of the day, when every thing seemed just right, my happiness that day knew no bounds. It was almost palpable, not only by me but also y the people who form a very integral part of my life. It all started with a cup of awesome coffee something which I had not had in years. It had the right proportions of sugar and coffee, and two spoonfuls of milk, in short just the way I liked it. I was in a flux. Was the day good or was it my maid who had finally been enlightened about the fact that one puts sugar in coffee and not the other way round.

Well, that day too as usual late for college, I was about to make a dash out when my mothers voice beckoned me. Irritably I went to her cribbing all the way, thinking it would be some errands she would want me to run on my way back from college. Complaining I stood there grumbling under my nose like a petite tantrum throwing kid, when suddenly a packet landed on my palms. A smile spread all over my face. I did a chameleon act, thanked my mom, and told her how nice it was of her part to give me the packet before going to college. I had long been expecting it. It was from a poetry contest I had participated in online. Anxiously, I opened the packet to find that I had won the contest and along with the letter was a $5000/- cheque staring right into my face. I thought I was hallucinating till my mom convinced me that it was true. My “GIBBRISH” could fetch me dollars was news to me. The college long forgotten, I went straight to my bank to deposit the cheque in my account. On the way, still doubting if it was true, I pinched my self not once, not twice, but “n” number of times. The amount, $5000 meant a lot to me but the proud expression on my parents faces was something I could do anything for.

Suddenly realizing that I was a student of a college and was late for my lecture I sped towards the college. It was already late I had I knew missed three of the four lectures I had that day, hoping I could make it for the last one. Now, that I had more than one reasons to go to college, the distance suddenly acquired great proportions. I was dying to tell my pals’ what just happened with me. “PARTY” would be the word that I would get to hear soon after the narration of my story. When I gave them the news, the word that I then heard was not party but “double party”. I had guessed the word party but what left me scratching my head was the word “double”. They finally broke the news ..I had got the highest marks in an assignment I had given in last week. I couldn’t believe all this was happening to me. Good news is always welcome but a plethora of it can shock you. That day I realized the meaning of being on cloud number nine, well I too was flying on the clouds. The party was just great. Every one had a blasting time. I was home late, an hour late than what I was permitted to. But guess what, predictable now, I didn’t get to hear a word from my parents. My parents congratulated me again. I had dinner with them again, though I wasn’t hungry at all. Then it was bed time. I climbed my bed the smile still on my face, I thanked god for every thing that happened to me that day. Then I didn’t realize when I just slipped into the dream world. The next morning the first person I saw was my maid with a cup of coffee in her hands. I thanked her. Smiling I took a sip,----phew!!!!! The same old days were back again. I was drinking coffee in sugar, was late for college and was making a dash out when my beckoned me yet again. This time I went running. Some piece of paper landed on my hand, no, it wasn’t an envelope it was a grocery list, some stuff I had to fetch on my way back. God……. Ever since I have been waiting for that perfect cup of coffee again and aren’t all of us.
