Me: Stop it right now!
Wall 1: Stop what?
Me: Spinning!
Wall 2: Spinning?!!
Me: You are all spinning
Wall 1: Excuse me. We are not doing anything of the sort.
Me: You are too! And making me nauseous!
Wall 3: Gee… Wouldn’t that be fun?! I wish I could do what she says. Go round and round and round….
Wall 4: Shut up! Going round and round indeed! All we ever do is stand in one place. And that’s all we’ll do till the day we die. (looks morose)
Me: Stop it. Stop dancing the shimmy you lot.
Wall 1: There she goes again. What has come over her?
Wall 2: Dancing the shimmy indeed. Solid, respectable wallizens like us! (rolls eyes)
Me: OMG. Someone make them stop. I am gonna throw up if they don’t.
Wall 1: (in alarm) Not on me, you won’t!
Wall 2: We don’t even have that darn paint on us that Saif Ali Khan is promoting. Just wipe it off and all that…
Me: OMG. OMG. OMG.
Wall 3: Geee….. She has turned a wonderful pastel green. I wish I could be that green.
Wall 4: Shut up! What’s wrong with the color we are?!
Wall 2: (pityingly) She has started seeing things. I knew she’d go off her onion one day.
Wall 3: (tearfully) Me? Do you mean ME?
Wall 2: I am talking of the lady, not you! (rolls eyes)
Me: I hate you guys. I don’t know why you are doing this to me. Please, please, please stop. I beg of you. Can’t you stay still?
Wall 1: (rolls eyes) Lady, we know you are crazy. But we never knew you were this crazy.
Me: (sobs) Please anyone, make them stop. I can’t take this any longer! I will throw up!
Wall 2: OMG she has turned quite pale.
Wall 1: OMG OMG OMG. She has puked all over me!
Wall 3: Oh no no no. Oh my pretty wall face is all ruined!
Wall 4: Shut up!
Wall 2: Do you think she could be right after all? Have we been moving and tormenting her?
Wall 1: OMG, could we have been dancing the shimmy, as she called it?
Wall 3: Geee….! What fun! Shall we try again and see it for ourselves?
Wall 4: Shut up! We have done nothing of the sort. She has vertigo. She needs a doctor.
Me: (looking suitably chagrined) OMG! That’s what it is! My sincere apologies, Walls 1,2,3 and 4! I am off to see a doctor.
nice and inventive.
Welcome to Shail’s Nest and thank you Dipesh. 🙂
My head is spinning!
I wanted to add this to the ‘Its Alive’ daily prompt. But I was late. 😦
Ah! I wondered whether that was the case.
First reaction: Love it, love it, looooooooooooooooove it!!!! 🙂
Second reaction: Are you fine??
*Chiding myself because my second reaction should have been my first reaction.
Merry Christmas to you.. pls take care.
I am better now Punam. Taking medicines. 🙂
Haw… how could you.. Blaming the poor walls and then puking on them.. Now you must get them that saif ali khan waala paint as a new year’s gift..
Anyway, jokes apart.. Isn’t this your first bout of vertigo? And next time, just gulp a little bit of cough syrup.. they have anti histamines. you can use the allergy waala grillingtus syrup..
How would that help?!
anti histamines are known to help when vertigo strikes.
Ok. I just read today 🙂
Funny vertiginous dialogue..wonder why Mr. Floor and Miss Ceiling were left out?
Only reason was lack of time. But even then I couldn’t meet the deadline 😦
The walls went on a spin
And Shail raised a great din
Only to find
‘Twas her mind
Now she has to take medicine!
Applause! You have put it so well, Gulshan 🙂
he he he! I could imagine the expressions of the walls 🙂
Hope you are fine now.
Yes I am better. Thank you, Seena. 🙂
This is an interesting comment form… ! 😛
😀
Hope the vertigo is better. As someone who suffers from it, I totally sympathize. If you need information about some treatment that helped, please reach out to me
I’d certainly like to know more. I am getting conflicting suggestions.
Thank you. I will mail you.
Pingback: An optimistic note | Shail's Nest
On a very selfish note — finally. A post that perfectly describes 10 minutes past 11 on a tuesday morning.
On a different note, I hope you are better. Those walls certainly are a nosy, judgemental lot, no? Listening in on all conversations, rejecting our cooking mishaps and staring us squarely in the face when we are unsure of ourselves. I think I’ll splash polka dots all over mine and hang pictures of neon-colored vegetables on them. That ought to make things better.
Saif ought to pay for the paint now. You promoted him
Bad posture causes it right??? Amma has it and I know how terrible it is.
You made it sound so funny. 😀
Take care!!
Low blood pressure? Take care
