My good ol’ apartment welcomed my housemates and I back to college
with a humongous puddle of water on the floor
water flowing freely from the walls of the toilet like a waterfall
a spoilt upper ‘tangki’
which the repairman finally came and fixed
to our immense relief
we scrubbed and washed the stained dirty toilet
mopped and double-mopped the floor
till our knees grew feeble and arms ached
and suddenly
the water stopped
altogether
dirty and smelly
with wry smiles
that said ‘'welcome back to college’'
three months of
tamil, hindi and kannada
thrown in with a pinch of
anatomy and physiology
with btn camp at the end
first class of
kannada/hindi today
here we go
:)
