Where's the Feni?

The Psychosis sets in...

I'm walking along College St. in the blistering thirty degrees, non-ozone filtered heat. My body feels sapped of the energy it is normally (in) famous for. I find myself walking alongside an ice-cream vendor. I stop him and get an ice cold popsicle. I lick it delicately. I feel my body temperature drop a few degrees.

I continue my journey towards the Galbraith Building. A group of pretty ladies walk by and wave at me. My body temperature shoots up (no pun intended) again. I look down towards my popsicle to save me from the heat. Alas, it's almost at it's end.

I finally reach Galbraith. I walk in. The cold air envelopes me. I stand still and let the sensation reinvigorate me. I walk towards the Camp 1 office. A sign says "Closed till 3 pm. Sorry for the inconvenience." This ardous journey, all in vain.

I struggle along in heat towards the subway. The journey was, as usual, long and boring. I finally reach my stop and get on the bus. The bus blasts past the first few stops at a 100 km/hr. Why can't all bus rides be like this I wonder.

A couple walk in. The girl is pretty. They sit right at the front of the bus. She's with someone; I decide to ogle no longer. I look out of the window. I see the lush green grass sparkling in the sunlight, the leaves on the trees swaying with the breeze and Asians cycling along the sidewalk (wtf?).

The girl then comes and sits right in front me. The guy follows shortly. She has piqued my interest. I wonder what she's upto.

The guy is busy yapping on his phone. The girl takes off her coat. She leans against him but then looks me straight in the eye. Yes, I'm getting my old magic back.

I finally reach home. Thoughts of getting back into an air-conditioned place fill my head. I step in and feel the cool air envelope me again. I drink an ice cold glass of water. I feel invincible.

I go into my room. It's warm. I check all the rooms in the house. My room is the only one which isn't cooling.

I need a hug.
