Thank God Its Sunday

I came to this sector in delhi some one month back.
It’s cool and a very silent place with mostly Punjabi families living all around.It’s about the time when I was new to this place, I had not gained any friends, just had a few acquaintances.

It was 7:45 in the morning; I had just prepared my tea after doing some muscle-stretching and yoga.As it was Sunday, I had seated myself on the balcony and was savoring my cuppa tea.

At that moment, just as I took the first sip, saw Mr Arora, my front door neighbor; bringing his old ferry queen out. It was an old “Padmini” car, a worn out ferry queen you might say.

I was on a ‘Hi-Hello’ terms with him. I waved at him.
He replied with a smile, “Enjoying Sunday??”
I said, “Yes Uncle, Where are you leaving for?”
Mr Arora: “Nowhere, I just drive it on Sundays around the colony, so as to keep it in good working condition.”
I just smiled, finished my tea and came to the hall.I had to go to Delhi that day to meet a few of my friends.Just then I remembered that most of my clothes are with the “Dhobi” and I didn’t have a good pair of clothing to wear.

So I went to “Dhobi” to collect my clothes.When I reached his home, I found clothes hanging all around.His whole house was looking colorful, red, pink, green..like multiple rainbows.
I just yelled his name at his front gate, didn’t want to barge inside.Soon I found him coming to the gate, followed by his son and his old mother.

The 12 year boy was moving along with his grandmother, providing her necessary support to walk.The dhobi gave me 6 rupees change and told with a smile, “Amma ko Sunday ke Sunday thoda ghuma dete hain,verna shareer jam ho jayega”.[We take her out on Sundays for a round around the block, so as to keep her fit].

Mr. Arora and his fiat came to my mind all of a sudden. I smiled, collected my clothes and left thinking…..
Different people, different things to take around!!!
I thanked the person who brought the idea of Sundays!!!
