One of my friends is staying
as a paying guest in Bangalore. Well, let me recall a recent incident of my
visit to his room. Right from the moment when i stepped foot into the room, I regretted
the decision and couldn’t find a suitable reason as to why I attempted this
‘horrible stunt’. It was certainly taken under some mysterious circumstances. (Believe
me when I am saying that I am not being boorish here). Upon seeing the room’s condition,
I was about to vomit right there (Adding another layer of garbage into the room
full of havoc!). Well I have certain evidence to support my theory. Let me
start.
Point number one-The smell.
I was greeted by a stagnant smell like that of a rotten egg. The ‘why’ of this
statement would be revealed in the subsequent points. Point number two-The size
of the room. Let me make it crystal clear that the room was normal size- nor
too gigantic nor too tiny for that matter. It had an attached bathroom but,
when you fill the place with 3 single beds along with three cupboards for three
people, there is hardly any place left to stand or breathe for that matter. Point
number three- The empty bed. Apparently the room was occupied by two people at
the moment, so the third bed was empty. Now this was a blessing in disguise for
the remaining two. The third bed was begging for mercy as it was filled with
piles and piles of clothes (Around 20-25 of them lying around just like that).
I asked my friend whether he was able to identify his clothes from this pile
(which also contained his roommate's clothes). I think his reply was positive.
Thank god for that otherwise each one would be wearing each other's body odor
the whole day. Point number four-The window grill. Yes, so whatever clothes
were remaining from the bed pile, were apparently present on the grill. Point
number five- The floor. The floor was filled with empty packets of lays, Dettol
soap, Dairy Milk and so on-In short a total mess. I couldn’t digest the fact
that someone was staying in that place. (Even a hermit would refuse). I
conveyed this query to my friend- Bro why this untidiness, why this lethargicness
? How the hell are you surviving here (Even though I knew that he was
responsible for this condition). So here comes the reply- ‘Bro i am a bachelor’.
Bam! I knew I was in the wrong place as I couldn’t compete with this petulant behavior (How
could someone even defend this stand). I couldn't survive that horrible habitat
and fled as soon as i can.
That day was indeed memorable
for me and I believed in the fact that heaven and hell are perhaps
present on earth itself because I saw the latter one from my naked eyes!!
