COMEDY OF ERRORS

Read. Vote. Comment.

A faint ray of sunshine somehow made it's way through the heavy curtains and peeped inside the room. Chirpings of various kinds of birds could be heard tied in a sweet melody that melted in ears . Instead of alarm, cuddles of his wife he woke. Stretching his arms all around he sat at the bed acknowledging this lovely morning. These are the kind of mornings Karan wished for. But who said that all your wishes are fulfilled. And just like any other thousand wishes of Karan this too stood in corner of his heart waiting for it's number to be fulfilled. Wanna know the kinds of mornings Karan wake up to...

Karan snoozed alarm for the 11th time. No no don't get mistaken this alarm wasn't set by Karan, rather this was set by his beloved wife, who each night sets an alarm with a promise to wake up at the first ring but just like us never wakes up when the alarm rings. Each and every member of the family wakes up from the rings of their alarm except them. And each morning after an hour and half after the time they had originally set the alarm for they wake up, blame the alarm for not ringing on time, regret a ton for not waking on time and again get aback to sleep until other members of the family who are long awake start throwing things on them.

Anyway proceeding further. Karan without making unsuccessful efforts of waking his wife thought of going to kitchen to make himself his morning tea. Poor Karan had just taken his first step of the day, he stepped on his wife's face talcum powder bottle and slipped. He would have called for help but he knew that his wife won't wake up and none except the both lived in the house. So poor Karan had to help himself up. He went straight to kitchen but occupied he was by the pain in his waist due to the fall, by mistake Karan took out the container containing black cumin instead of tea powder. Since both resembled each other and were kept in alike glass containers Karan couldn't make out the difference. And it was 2 table spoon of black cumin that went into boiling milk. Forgetting his pain with utmost care Karan poured the tea (if we could call it so) in a cup and went to balcony to peacefully sit and drink his morning tea. Till now Monami too had woken up. In search of her husband she went to balcony only to be greeted by a splash of tea on her face. Karan had just taken first sip of his tea only to realize that it was a disaster that he had made and definitely not tea. One good thing about this whole scenario was that Monami was now 100% out of her dreamland. Not a kind of start to mornings anyone of us would want.

Then suddenly phones of both beeped. It was a notification. A notification of their friends Whatsapp group that stated that the plan was on. Both couldn't believe that finally unlike the hundred other friends plan this one wasn't turned down last moment. So exactly a week after Karan Monami along their friends were going on a super fun trip to Bali. 

So no time was their to be wasted. Karan pulled out his trolley bags from the store room. Wiped a layer of dust that was formed over them. And went straight to his cupboard. Took out a pile of well ironed t-shirts and half pants, and very neatly placed them one by one in his bag. He pulled out few clothes from his cupboard and placed them orderly his his bag. Collected all his necessaries and placed them in his bag systematically. Made a list of things that were to be shopped for before the trip. Zipped back his trolley and bingo Karan was almost good to go.

Karan belonged to the class of packers that rarely existed. The disciplined packers. They pack their bags on the day when the plan is made. People of this category of packers place all their things systematically just so they get everything they want on time.

Where at one side stood Karan who had already got his bags ready for vacation, on the other side stood Monami who was standing infront her wardrobe since past 45 minutes pulling out a dress only to reject it moments latter. And after wasting whole an hour in this game of pulling out each and every dress that Monami owned and rejecting it, Monami concluded that she suffered from inspiteofhavingcupboardfullofclothesyetnothavinganydresstowear syndrome. The syndrome that most females irrespective of their age suffer from. So the immediate solution to this syndrome is call your girl best friend and cry out your situation because she too can relate to your problem. And then after half hour you finally make plan for shopping, that you could have done half an hour earlier but no. The Monami used her bhramastar(super weapon) that could make Karan agree to any of Monami's wish- puppy face. 3 years of marriage had gifted Karan with experience that whenever Monami came to him with a puppy face meant either two things. First that Monami had broken any of Karan's favourite things or second the more obvious one that Monami wants Karan to agree to any of her demand. Left with no other option Karan had to agree to Monami and accompany her to shopping Mall. And there answer Monami's million questions of which dress looks better on her.
