A Letter to my Couch.

She writes...

"Dear Couch, please forgive me. For i can no longer rest in your comfort all day.
I have never truly realised your worth, I must say. I am embarrassed at my lack of attention. All those days when i watched those numerous movies and innumerable news telecasts, little did i realise that you were always there, making me feel so warm and cosy. I still remember, when Kathaleen Kelly wished for Joe Fox to be NY152 and finally realised what she asked for, is all that she was given, God, i couldn't have done without the snuggling pleasure you gave me.

Anyway, As you might have already noticed, for the past 17 days, precisely from august 8th to august 24th, i've been a different person. I've spent more time with you than i've ever spent with my mobile or my computer! ( Which should mean something, 'cause you might not know this but i am apparently crippled without those two ! )
And am sure you have given me enough reasons to rejoice your company in these few days. I enjoyed every single moment that we spent together. All those pop corns that you gracefully adorned, the vacation weight that you had to bear, the crampled paper settled on you, all the dust and dot. Dear couch, I'll always remember those days with you forever. But, there is something i need to confess. There is also an other reason for my smiles.

Oh god, you don't want to hear this. But i have no choice, Its "THE OLYMPICS" ! *heavy sobs*
Yes, The Beijing Olympics completely floored me. I was baffled from day one. I wanted to write to you long before. But i never got a chance to commit. You might feel used , but trust me O couch, you mean more than that. Olympics before beijing never gave me any thrills. And, I knew this one was different from the very start. Just the way it unravelled gave me the goosebumps that lasted days after. As Li Ning opened the traditional scrolls while he spacewalked on the Bird's nest to light the brightest of the Olympic Torch's ever, I felt a heart beat skip.

And then the journey began, From Phelps's to Bindra's to the Jamaican's , it was all magic. I would sound very psychic when i say this but i somehow, somehow always knew that this was going to be one of our most memorable run at the olympics ever. Although, i trusted Sania Nehwal too much. But what's there to complain ? Badminton being one of my local sports i had no choice but to relate to her as opposed to Vijendhar or Jitendhar. But thats where the beauty lies ? right ? Surprise is one of the most wonderful feelings. A most cutest one too. Abhinav Bindra, Sushil kumar and Vijender singh have now become the names that we'll soon be reading in our history books.

Anyway, I do hope that you understand how much i was enamoured by The Beijing Olympics. And You have certainly been the most crucial reason for this eccentric attraction to the games this year. Without you, it would've only been incomplete. I may not spend days and nights with you anymore. But , You were and will always be my best couch.
I don't mean to thank you, but I do. "

Love,
Deepika
