The Beginning of an Asinine Morning!

All alone at home the main pastime for me is pastime, rather timepass as it's better known! I have nothing much to do but eat food(if any), drink milk(if any) and all i am left with is one job...Sleep! Last night was no different, had some nice Maharashtrian food (thanks to sid), loads of milk, and i was off to repose. The problem started when i was on my bed and staring at my fan, i started to get bored and in no time i realized the fact that i was not much used to...I WASN'T SLEEPING!! I looked in to the clock but that just made things worse; it was already 2 in the morning and i was simply staring at the fan! I got up, went downstairs, drank whatever milk that was remaining, looked at my books with guilt, and went back up to have another shot at sleeping, fortunately this time i was on target. I must have fallen asleep, coz i don't remember much then. All i remember was what happened after i woke up...

The first shocker came when i was up and looking for my mobile. It was nowhere around me and i had to search like a loony around my bed, throwing away all the blankets which had somehow managed to become terribly huge just at the nick of time. After all those efforts i found my small little darling lying on the floor like a loyal dog near its owner's legs.! I picked it up and went downstairs as i heard some noise. As i went down i heard some voices i had never heard before, saying things that frightened the hell out of me."Arey yaar ab kya karneka.? Ek kaam kartey me peeche ke pipe ko tod deta aur tuu usko saamne ke side se pakkadke tab tak baandh dena" My god almighty where was I..!!!!!
I felt a chill through my spine as i heard that. I felt like a flabbergasted loner who knew he was about to be looted by robbers. And to make things worse, i heard the sound of a wooden lathi hitting our gate. My heart was literally in my mouth.

I collected all the courage i had and walked towards my door. Tried to open it but wasn't opening!! I prayed that must be stupid dream, coz i wasn't able to sleep.But it wasn't so. With a heavily and terribly frightened mind i looked around the door and found that my heavily and terribly frightened body had not yet unclamped the stupid door clamp.!! I unhooked the stupid door clamp, and there was the shocker of them all.!!! I never expected a sight like that next morning when i was finding it difficult to sleep.
On the door were two dark men in not so tidy dresses who looked more like poor laborers than robbers. And it was then i realized that i knew one of them. HE WAS THE PLUMBERRR..!!! "Arey Bhaiyya wo saamne ke ghar ki chaabi do na..wahaa ka pipe theek karna hai", he said. That was exactly the moment i felt i knew him. My god i was relieved..!!!! The watchman was also around with his trademark lathi ( i never even thought of him minutes back). Along with the plumbers were the owners of that house who had given me the keys last night.
They said they had been ringing the bell for half an hour and were about to go!! All that i could afford was the worst embarrassed smile that i could have on my face, and i said sorry with that smile still on my face. They went with the keys, i closed the door, and the clock said it was nine.!!! I ran for my brush...looked at the mirror...and for the next ten minutes, i laughed the hell out of me all alone....
