Talking again

Talking again

I am very silently writing this post so that our warden ma’am remains unaware that I am in the computer lab. Hush, she is sleeping, so I will make less noise.

Actually we are not allowed to enter the lab so early in the morning but I come in a surreptitious manner! ‘Surreptitious,’ according to dictionary.cambridge.com, is an adjective which means ‘done secretly, without anyone seeing or knowing.’

To my surprise, I recently learnt that our warden ma’am is above 60. But hale and hearty, she keeps on roaring and running around the hostel like a commando. ‘Hale and hearty’ is used when we refer to people who are strong and energetic in spite of their old age.

Before sneaking in the lab I had no idea that what I will write. But thanks to this roaring warden ma’am that I have got ample ideas to write on. If ever she will know that I am writing such rubbish about her, she will definitely haul me over the coals! ‘Rake / haul someone over the coals,’ according to thefreedictionary.com, means ‘to give someone a severe scolding.’ She last raked me over the coals when she found that my bed was untidy, and I did nothing to make it tidy!

Please do not mind it - I am a workshy chap so I rarely like to clean my room! ‘Workshy,’ (adjective) thefreedictionary.com: ‘not inclined to work; lazy.’

I am going out to bring a cup of tea for myself. Please wait.

Hmm, I am back. I was feeling a bit drowsy but because of this tea I am feeling as fresh as a daisy! Now some of you will think that what the dickens ‘be fresh as a daisy’ is.’ Well, according to thefreedictionary.com, it means ‘to be full of energy and enthusiasm.’

When I gave a start to this post I had no foreknowledge what its matter is going to be. But, encouraged by your feedback, I wrote it. Did I pan out as a blogger?

Before shutting up let me copy paste the meaning of ‘pan out’ from thefreedictionary.com! This phrasal verb means ‘To turn out well; be successful.’
