Tales of a lackadaisical boy-3

It was saturday, happiest day of the week for any engineering student.An eagerly awaited tomorrow without a ripple in peaceful lake of today.All of them loved both the concluding days of the week but their hearts were more with saturday than sunday.An extremely frustrated student like Aryan woke up at 6 AM when the alarm tone interrrupted his dream.

He was in the Himalayas..perhaps in the  jagged mountains of Nepal sitting below an isolated tree,resting his back against the huge trunk.The land was completely covered in snow.Yet,a few feet from him, he saw two men seated across each other in chairs,chatting over coffee.He immediately recognized one of them as his father and kicked himself a dozen times before discovering that the other man was Shahrukh Khan. " eh?" he thought " whats he doing here anyway".

His dad motioned him to come over. "Aryan,I would like you to meet my cousin Mr Salman Khan" his dad gestured as Shahrukh gave a wide smile.
"Your cousin? Khan?But dad !he is Shahrukh, not Salman" Aryan muttered.His dad did'nt seem to bother..But Shahrukh turned to him and said "Do you use Emani Fair and Handsome? use it,you'll become like me".

"But I use Fair and lovely"Aryan thought.
Before he could react,his phone started ringing,he fumbled in his bag which suddenly appeared beside him outta nowhere.He picked it up and pushed the answer button but the phone wouldn't stop ringing.....
he pushed the button, it wouldn't stop ringing......


Aryan burst opened his eyes,threw his arm aside and swept across the table beside before finally switching off the damn phone."What a dream man!" he sighed.

He turned around to have a glimpse of his neighbouring cot.He was looking at what seemed to be a dead body.Karthik was very static when he slept.He barely lazed around unlike Aryan who sometimes even fell off his bed.Many believed in the fairy tale that Karthik could even decieve a doctor with his dead sleep.

Aryan smiled as he punched his fists in the air."Its a holiday man".He purposely set his alarm at 6 AM so that he could be blessed with the ultimate satisfaction.Get up early...realize that you had no need to...hug yourself and get back to sleep.Karthik ofcourse,unlike him got up only when he wanted to, he was always satisfied with himself.Aryan adjusted his pillow and disappeared inside the blanket deciding not to desert his bed for 3 more hours....
