Showering experiences

Lazy weekends. The times when you don’t want to do anything. Just sleep all day. Don’t want to leave your bed. Don’t even want to take a shower. The thought of a shower is just so painful. It involves so much of work. Like taking off your clothes, washing and scrubbing your body with a soap until you are pink in the face and then washing that soap off and after that you have to dry your body and put some clothes on again. Man! That’s a lot of work. Nobody wants to work on a weekend. So you don’t bathe one day and the next day you wake up, you find yourself stinking. But you simply don’t want to shower and you don’t. Then the week begins and you have to shower, if not for yourself at least to save others from that stink. So if you’re going to work or school, you shower on Monday. But for people like me (on a vacation since two months and will be for another month and a half) it is really difficult to get myself into the shower. It takes a lot of pushing from the inside. I can’t stay without showering for a week and I can’t go to the shower right now because I’m just so lazy. I simply can’t! After a lot of pushing and coaxing myself, I go in and start the process.

Now, the moment I go into the bathroom and start the shower, I don’t know, there is like this force field of inspiration surrounding me. My brain is teeming with ideas and there’s no stopping them. The words just keep popping into my mind, becoming sentences and going on to become paragraphs. I find myself making up the speech for when I receive the Nobel or the Pulitzer Prize and they’re just so perfect. Things like the title of my future novel and its beginning lines all come so naturally to me. The Facebook post I’d put up if something really strange happened to me, like if I was abducted by aliens or if I came to know of a prophecy which stated that I was the lost hero, meant to save this world and relieve it of all its miseries. I think of a lot of Facebook posts I’d put up if something happened, but those somethings never happen and maybe that is the reason I post so rarely on Facebook. My study plans, how I would study for the coming exam, how I would totally ace it and what kind of suggestions I’d give to my peers and juniors who are so in awe about me and are listening so attentively and taking down notes of whatever I’m saying. It takes me a lot of effort to get out of that shower again. It is this magical place, which shows everything I ever wanted like the ‘Mirror of Erised’. It is unbelievable and it takes me lots of effort and determination to get out of there.

Once I get out of that shower, I’m determined to make my life the way I want it to be! The warm water felt so good on my skin. I feel neat and refreshed and also very drowsy! I’ll do everything I ever wanted to do! I’ll start off immediately after this short nap I’m taking. So, I go back to sleep and the cycle repeats.
