...with all my courage and power within, I somehow prepared myself to attempt the heinous act of suicide. I knew things were going difficult, and life wasn't going hunky-dory. I had been feeling low and getting the melancholic vibes from all sides for quite some time. Everyone advised me to stop thinking about this crap. In fact, few of them who cared for me with all their heart forced me to take the oath that I won't be doing this, and threatened me that they'll never forgive me if I ever move ahead with this lunatic decision.'
I nodded just to appease them and made them feel that I have agreed to their say. But, my mind knew it was going to happen this time. I had been nipping this thought in my mind for long, but this time I had fantasized enough about death that I finally pulled myself up to fatally injure myself - by wrenching my soul and sending it to heaven's land (yeah, not hell! I have done enough good in my life.).
And the D-day came...my family was going out-of-town to attend a wedding. I finally got the Almighty's direction to take the boldest step which was going to make my body shiver in painful nirvana. I gave it another thought, but fearing my heart to go too weak for this, I punched my mind with a huge blow and a vociferous shout - "you're strong, you will overpower all your fears no matter whattttt", and without wasting a modicum of a second, I locked myself in the bathroom, and shut the door with a silent bang.

I could feel my heart beating fast like never before, and my body formidably shivering. I knew it was going to be tough, really tough...but somehow I gathered lil remnant energy all within my body to undress. I looked into the mirror one last time and remembered all the past good bad experiences of my life - moments of laughter, tears, agony, etc. All the cherishing beautiful moments I had spent with the ones I love the most, and their acts of sheer kindness were all coming in front of my eyes. I somehow exonerated myself with this emotional baggage weighing in tonnes and started the rituals to end my journey on the Blue Planet.
And here I go, I turned on the tap so
that my screams don't go out. I double-checked the lock of the bathroom if it
was properly closed, or else I would run off the horrific things that were about
to happen. Taking the name of Almighty, I stepped ahead and moved my hand to
hold the death-causing weapon. I could feel the land under my feet rumbling,
and the death's messengers waiting for me outside the gate.
I tried once... and tried again...and again to slit my body with the chilling cold weapon, but miserably failed every time to move ahead and take an action. I try, and fail...and try, and fail, and this kept on happening for 5 minutes and then boooom! I made the final effort, using both my hands for this sinister act.

I held the shower's lever and with all my masculinity which I had developed in the previous few years...I turned the lever on!!! And the droplets of chilling cold water, as if they were liquid Nitrogen, sprinkled out from the shower. In the milliseconds while these water droplets were about to kiss my body, I rethought once again to move away from this shower of malice, but I didn't!!! I stayed there...and the moment these droplets started kissing my body, I danced, and screamed the way that Michael accoladed me from heaven, and my screams reached the next planet. I bathed and came out of the bathroom refreshed and rejuvenated with new energy.

Yeah, that's what I was talking about. What did you think - Suicide? Ah no, 'not to kill me wala suicide, but to bath with chillin' cold water in December winters wala suicide'. So sorry if you took it wrong😄. Thank you so much for coming this long. Now, if it's biting cold in your place, go and play this game of life and death in your bathroom - it's quite refreshing actually.
(You know it well, and I have touched this point quite many times that suicide is never a solution. Above was just a funny tale to bring a big smile to your face. So sorry for this hyper-exaggeration thing. I hope I didn't offend you.) 😁
Happy Winters!
Didn't know the fact that I've been committing suicide everyday. No one could imagine that this content piece of yours will end in a satirical way. Love the way you write. It hooked me from the very beginning, and compelled me to laugh in the end.
