Tragedy Revisited

I'm immobile...yet again. The on-again, off-again affair that the Hutch folks are having with me is taking its toll. Owing to their pranks, I wasted a perfectly fine evening after work @ The Forum, waiting for Santosh to show up. The rendezvous never happened.
The mobile connection was fine till 6pm when my stint at the office for the day got over. It must have been between 6 & 7 that I discovered to my horror that Hutch had decided to pull the cord. Santosh had tried to reach me in vain to inform me that he wouldn't be able to make it to The Forum due to rain, a perfectly legitimate alibi. I thus ended up exhausting 1.5hrs for nothing.

Tailored half-a-year back, I never had the courage to wear it, not until today. It's that time of the year when it's time to reflect on the events that transpired. Last year ended on the worst possible note. Dad had expired and I was numb with shock. The repercussions rippled halfway thought this year. Things were so abysmal initially that I had lost the will to live. Acrid in everything I did, I was immensely angered by time phlegmatically flowing through its cadence. It was as if Dad meant nothing to anybody. What right did people have to live the way they always had when Dad was no more? Why was much of the world still
