Power-cuts and sweltering heat, are deadly combination during summers. Riya
still had four more chapters to study but her concentration had evaporated
along with electricity.

According to Facebook update, Mimmi had finished chapter 10 and Sam had already
started revising the syllabus. Riya panicked as she stared at the remaining 200
pages.
Slowly moths started circulating around the candles.
“ I am gonna fail tomorrow”, she cried aloud.
“Why don’t you play Candy-crush, like you were doing in the afternoon”, her
mom replied.
“Mom, this isn’t the time for sarcasm.”
“Oh really, shall I wait till you clear Level 78.”

Drabble – 100 word story
While writing this story, I remembered how my Mom was extremely serious about my studies. Her broom was the most feared object in the household 😛 Thankfully during those days, there were no addictive games like Candy Crush, else forget the Candy she would have definitely made a Papadum out of me 😛
Candy-Crush – Candy Crush Saga is a match-three puzzle video game released by the developer King on April 12, 2012 for Facebook. Highly Addictive
We had video games then, but my parents had a strict rule, no video games when schools were on. Could play only in vacations. But come to think of it, we didn't mind that at all. 😀
Sarcasm is a mothers weapon, a very very stingy weapon. Nothing like it cannot be someone else's tool of choice, but mothers, my my.
