nothing

I've got no deeds to do, no promises to keep
I'm dappled and drowsy and ready to sleep.....

nothing, nothing, nothing. nothing to do. that day someone asked me what we famed JU people do after class or when we have some spare time. with all due apologies to srijani and debo (i know i deserve that kick. i really do), i told him the naked, unflattering truth--nothing. we hang out at monida. that's it? that's it. so what's my routine like? wake up, go to college (this involves a lengthy what-the fuck-do-i-wear-? session) and then--do nothing. we play bridge and gloriously lose by 2000 points. then we wear bridge out and go and sit at monida. we stare at each other. we stare some more. something needs to be done. debo, say something earth-shattering. debo--"ady's play was bad"...we make plans to go to dolly's (our ONE escape route), we create plans worthy of the great KGB/CIA to avoid the avoidable and then bitch about the avoidable. we even crack jokes--"Ma muffed, me miffed"--with saumava leading the way. we accept that the heat has got to us. but miss college? no way!!!! therein lies the paradox. if you can solve it kindly let me know. at least there'll be something to look forward to--other than nothing....
