Chapter 10

Today Mr. Naman has been his usual self for the whole day. This is indeed unusual. When Mr. Naman is spending the day in his usual self, even a school boy enjoying his summer break, doing nothing except just watching the day pass, feels an emotion called envy when he hears Mr. Naman's break up for the day.

He had not taken his bath for the whole day. Mr. Naman is of the opinion that people bathe because they fell dirty either from inside or outside. Mr. Naman has never experienced such a feeling except when someone else has told him. He had spent the entire morning writing something on his bed and when it came for lunch, he was successful in avoiding eating it on the dining table.

As a bird grips a branch of a tree and starts to enjoy its food amidst clean air and natural tree shade, Mr. Naman today experienced similar joy. He (re)arranged his living room's architecture by dragging a stool near the sofa, then he sat on the sofa, spread his legs on that stool and ate his lunch while watching television and most importantly, without any interruption.

Just like a musician in his riyaas(practice) can go on and on if not interrupted, just like a sanyasi while doing meditation achieves a state of trance where he can meditate for days, Mr. Naman could have gone endlessly watching television sitting in the pose described above. Had he been a little clairvoyant and foreseen is desire to have icecream before he sat on sofa, he could have avoided getting up and thus avoided the interruption.

In his usual self, Mr. Naman today also followed his usual ordering of having the different meal courses by starting with the desert. Mr. Naman's usual diet is like a sandwich in which the upper and bottom layers consist of a dessert or sweet dish as it is popularly known and main course occupies some space between them. The question on when to stop the first round of dessert, and when to stop the main course so that adequate justice can be done to the final round of dessert is a non-linear optimization problem which even the most talented of mathematicians are unable to solve till today.

After having his meal, he had spent the entire afternoon on hs bed but this time, instead of writing on paper with hands, he was writing with a magical ink which will soon dissolve with the atmosphere as soon as he wakes up. The scientific name of this form of writing is dreams.

Waking up from his afternoon siesta, Mr. Naman spends entire evening walking, hiking the beautiful landscape of Ugar. With no worry about any time restriction to return home, with no idea of time or distance as a dimension, with only a smile on his face and a happy soul, he wanders until the moon comes and acts as a torch to guide him back to home.


Now how Mr. Naman was able to achieve such a feat? With a frequency slightly better than Hayley's comet, Mr. Naman is able to spend such days whenever his parents go to Haridwaar and leave him alone to take care of himself. He still has 2 more days and he feels that he has done enough work for the next two days.
