Independence Day

Independence? That's middle class blasphemy. We are all dependent on one another, every soul of us on earth.” -George Bernard Shaw


Senior son wants me to look for a Physics book for his IIT preparation.

Junior wants me to pick up some NCC badges to go with his NCC uniform,also wants me to wake him at 5.00 am so that he can get ready for the parade at 6.30 am. And why not amma, because I am better(?) at waking him up.

Lady of the house wants me to drop her at the beauty parlour, then fill the grocery list while I wait to pick her up again.

Mother asks if I can get her medicines and oh on the way a couple of magazines as well if you don't mind.

God I long for a day when nobody depends on me no more.

"Happy Independence Day".
