The heat it seemed had roasted the planet..shades of what a few months back were green were now brown..
At times it did feel that the planet has become a pit....a pit which burns...
The chirping bird had gone hoarse..the puffy grass was now mud, crumbled... Life was still and volcanic.
Summers were such..
The kids, however, had their vacation..the constant need to keep their ever questioning minds occupied..
As I came back from work.. Lil came back from badminton practice and Ag was after meeting with her gang.. Rumors were that those girls used to beat up guys..
Something pending inquiry.
As I sat down with them..we spoke abt how awful summer's were and Lil had some strong words about global warming and it's repercussions..
"What is global warming di ?" Ag asked to which Lil had the most perfect answer...
The discussion occupied the dinner table..
Post dinner, I got back to catch up some work before our routine 11 pm night walk, the girls took a dip into their own world..
Everytime the house got silent, i had reasons to believe something was brewing and before i could figure out......
"Daaaaaaadddd... Leeelllllllyyuyu......daaadddyyyyyy... Leeellliiyyyu" I heard Ag trumpet...
I went to the other room found Lily drenched...and out of no where a cool splash hit me.on the face and i resembled aqua-man (a fat one)... Before I could react Ag too had herself covered by water... Water with ice.
"the world can go warm itself but my family remains cool.." She announced..
"And to say i didnt teach my kids anything... Haha" - i cried out loud
We spent the night walk in the tub of ice cubes (Agnes had gotten ready) playing with her floating ducks and mermaids and bat-rings...
The walk was junked.. I sat besides them as they splashed their way into our oceanic house.. Little fishes eh..
