Banality seeps in and even if we  put blinders of fake joy to hide its occurrence, it is there to stay. A silent minute in this everyday journey and we realize the uselessness of quite a few actions & reactions. Hours turn into days and days to years as the riggers continue and what is this for?

When questions haunt not because of lack of answers but because of their repetitiveness - it is really not that great a scenario yet we live with it.

And for the paraphernalia surrounding it - there ought to be an iota of truth in the statement " Thank God its Friday"
