I desisted breaking my siesta. Loud TV Soaps…Louder jazz!
But, it was ‘kaapi’ time.
Entered the hall…
Silence.
I stared, incoherent.
The photograph beamed at me.
The wife was long gone! My little ones, migrated.
It was Just me. An entire evening lay ahead!
I slumped onto the sofa. Grabbed the remote. Turned the volume to 50.

Wow! Pallu, you are too good ! You should be writing professionally!
The eeriness of being all alone,
waiting for at least the ring of the phone.
Lonliness hanging around the neck like a millstone
the sadness of solitude and to be all on your own.
Pal, well written.
* OG – Seriously! Must be Rajini’s all time super-duper-hits! I still remember literally ROFL at the one-liners!
* Smithu – Thanku so much, I wish your words were true, but I am miles and miles away from such dreams 🙂
* PRG – Its strange, how (like you mentioned), when we are alone, the phone seems to be a good enough companion, rather than a disturbance! Thank you!
