Castles In Air


I went to City Centre today to get tickets for "Paa". After that while roaming around I came across "Swirls". The huge ice-cream sign just outside kept on beckoning me inside. Yeah you guessed it right. Am not allowed to have ice-creams. With a heavy heart I went inside and to my immense surprise I saw a guy about my age working out there.
The guy must be working part-time as he looked pretty young. That meant he was earning money. I began day dreaming that I was working in "Pizza-Hut" with an added advantage to smell the aroma of fresh pizza everyday. That would also mean that I wouldn't have to worry about my pocket money anymore.
I reached home and the first thing that I hear is that my brother, freshly out of college, who is working as a trainee in Nasik just received his first salary which amounts to around some 2 figure grands. My daydreaming etched up a notch higher and I began to plan out what stuffs I would buy if I got a chance of earning money.
Gathering all the courage that I had I went up to my dad and in a shaky voice told him, "Dad, I want to do a part time job." My dad didn't even other to frame a complete grammatically correct sentence. ONe glowering look from him and I withered away!
Alas! My castles which I had build on air came crushing sorry crashing down on me. Moral of the story:-Before building castles in air make sure you got the right amount of cash. Otherwise it might just tumble down!
