Gurgaon's hardly every been more pleasant than the last two days. There's a cool wind blowing and occasional showers that calm the ever so restless dust. I can think of nothing better to do right now than sit in my balcony with a cup of hot tea and write away.
There's a garden in our building where kids usually pretend to be Dhoni, Sachin and Saina and give the performances of their lives. It's great fun watching their antics ...and being on the 8th floor I get a pretty good view of the behind the scenes stuff as well..
For instance right now, there's a karate class going on in the garden. The kids in the first two rows are working hard at getting the actions right, while the last row has kids trying hard to ape the kids in front. One girl is just swaying left to right and glad she's got that fat guy covering her from the teacher's view.
On the other side a bunch of kids are playing cricket.. the kid on the crease is a bully.. he's twice the size of the bowlers and fielders and booing them everytime he hits a boundary!
Some teen girls take an isolated spot behind the trees and are clearly eyeing the cute guy who just walked by, all the while 'BBM-ing' so that the world gets to know what they just saw!
And it's not just the garden, the way they make flats around here.. it's extremely easy to peep into someone's house .. so if you're a voyeur this is the place to be!
But even without the intention of peeping, you often get to see incredible stuff .. like the 50 year old guy who practices golf .. albeit without a golf stick in his balcony every Sunday morning.. or the lady who we saw praying at 11:30 in the night of India's victory over Pakistan this World Cup!
Sometimes it's almost like seeing many movies at the same time.. all with a different star cast, different story line, but screening together in one theatre..
The tea has gotten cold now and the kids are winding up the day's play.. time for me to head back inside and resume playing the role of the lead actress of my own life.. ;)
