June 1st! Everyone is trying to avoid the sun as much as they can unless its quite urgent to go out into it and embrace it all the while cursing it.
Look around and the ladies are out with French manicured toe tips, legs and hands stripped down with hot wax , fancy flip- flops , Bermuda – shorts, capris, summer dresses, sunscreens , fancy hats , umbrellas and everything else related to summer.
Now the fashion is to carry a bottle of water wherever you go – a sign of ‘I take good care of my skin and my health’.
A leading mineral water company has taken advantage of this situation to beat competitors by running a competition for its users where you have to just do a simple thing. Collect the letters of its name . The one who manages to collect all the letters win gold coins.
As of now I have collected just two letters. All the bottles seem to carry just these two letters.
Now when I get the bottle, I first look at it sarcastically all the while a voice crying inside of me to open it, what if this time, the letters are different? I take the bottle and peel of its plastic cover beneath which the letters are hidden within a small square covering. And before I open the covering, I pray for it to be something different.
Slowly, slowly I open it all the while two voices inside of me arguing with each other.One telling me that am a fool and the other one telling me that there is no harm in checking , you might not know when luck strikes!
I go forward and open it and then crumble it in disgust and throw it into the garbage.
It’s never going to change! And I promise myself to never check it again!
Yet, I continue to peel the cover, hoping and hoping that maybe I might just come across all of those damned letters!!
Just did one this morning too.
