Startling Similarity!!

These are days of irritation for me. If you ask me why, the answer is another question. No day goes without somebody popping this question to me. From the boy who comes to collect the laundry to the head butler to the driving instructor to the other working men and women out here to the woman who runs the ladies club to my walking partner to my opponents at the games section to the mothers of my friends, to home makers around in these 1600 acres, to my friends back home and elsewhere, to my aunts, uncles and relatives who make a call or mail...all except the close family.

I find the similarity a little startling. Are all of them taught this question at school to be asked to somebody when the occasion arises? Then where was I? Day dreaming may be even better bunking on some pretext!

Question: How do you wile away your time? You stay at the Guest House right?

Answer: I don't bother to reply... one because they never or rather cannot understand; two, they just don't get it even if I do....

Added Later: I've been put up in a Room in the Guest House of These 1600 Acres since June this year. AB+ is sent on a Mission Project here. I feel we haven't graduated from our honeymooning, hostel or bachelor days. I still love to make some Maggie in my Morphy Richards water kettle and gulp it down with some black coffee in the middle of the night in the Bhel use-n-throw bowls. Or dash down for breakfast at 8:29 when the counter is about to shut down. Nevertheless, I miss snacking and eating in my pynamas at the mess hall.....
