Why me!
It was raining, and I decided to open my umbrella; a brand new that I bought only a few weeks ago. It had served me well a couple of times earlier. However as I pushed it out to open, some quirk of fate incited the top part including the rib to just fly away, and I was left with the handle in my hands. One of my profs decided to make an entrance just then, and made her presence felt by the squeal of laughter at my antics. I have seldom felt more foolish as I did that day chasing the flying rib with the handle in my hands. The fact that the prof in question was a beautiful lady was not helping at all.
My morning had not started beautifully either. Last two days had be very warm (after Chennai, hot seems like an overrated adjective here). So I decided to embrace the prevalent cool summer style comprising of shorts, cotton tees and sunglasses. After a last touch to my hair and a few seconds of narcissism in front of the mirror, I stepped out of the house to catch the bus.
It suddenly hit me that I couldn't see anything. It didn't take long to realize that it was due to the overcast sky and it was going to be a cold and wet day. The bus was already at the stop, so I had no time to go back and change. Though I tried to put up a brave face, I shivered the whole day. The only consolation I had was wondering what an inspiration I would have been to the girls** here.
**The hot pant hypothesis: At any spatial point inside the OSU campus, at any point of time, it is possible to spot at least one girl wearing shorts(hot pants) within a time span delta t, where delta t<=5 min. The above statement is valid for all weather and all seasons.
