Just Another Day

I wouldn’t call the day eventful in any way. It was mostly routine. School started as usual. Classes were held, as usual. Breakfast, lunch and dinner were served on time.
Some unusual things happened. Some villagers came for “jail”. But since we had already distributed “jail” yesterday, Bansi gave everyone a cup of tea and sent them off. All except a drunk who insisted that Bansi should give him some money to buy at least half a bottle of “mahua” – the local brew.
The corrugated roofing sheets were secured today with hooks. The masons even managed to build a part of the parapet. But Balai did not show up to paint the windows even though Bhola had brought the paint in the morning.It’s moonless night. The day was very windy. But it is definitely getting warmer every passing day.
