It’s a long long day – Riddle Riddle!


Good Morning Readers,

Let’s wish A Very Very Happy Mother’s Day to all the Sweet Lovely Mothers!!!

I read my last year’s blog today again to take a moment and feel what this day meant to me - http://sundayreaders.blogspot.com/2013/05/happy-mothers-day.html


“It’s been more than 2 hours staring at this mail and I still get nothing out of it” I said with some disappointment and little hunger clearly being shown on my face.

“It’s really tough sometimes to know why Chief behaves the way he behaves. He sent a message saying some rescue op but no details”

“He sent a page long mail with heading Solve the Riddle and keep driving on BH Highway until you solve it. I am done cracking my head reading the riddle for over hundred times.”

“If Chief wanted to keep this mission fully secured what was the reason he sent that message saying Rescue Op?”

“As you said it’s tough to understand what he does and why he does that. Leave it. Let’s fill our stomach.” I said, getting down from the car.

“May be some delicious breakfast might help us” he said closing the door of the car and locking it.

“Or a cup of strong coffee which I need badly” I said turning away from him towards the entrance of one of the most famous breakfast hotels in Shimoga.

The time was little more than 8:30 and we had already lost some time due to some construction work on the highway. We were hungry and bit tiered. Praveen had been driving non-stop since 2 long hours during which I just kept reading the riddle and kept scratching my brain to solve it. As we entered the Mahalaxmi Bhavan, it seemed like we were the first customers and had almost dropped in even before the cook in kitchen had lighted on the stove. Walking towards a corner table we took our seats and ordered a plate of Paddu each.

Quickly gobbling up the breakfast as soon as it was served freshened up our mind and energized our body. Another plate of Upma not only completed a complete South Indian Breakfast but gave a perfect start for the day. But it was only when I sipped the coffee, I opened up my laptop again.

“Again?” Praveen asked, raising his head from tea cup.

“We need to solve this riddle. There would be nothing without the answer. We don’t even know where to go and what to do”

“I say let’s call up Chief and get the details”

“You know him” I said, pursing in my lips and opening up the mail.
Praveen rose from his seat and walked towards me and stood beside me glancing at the laptop.

Suddenly he exclaimed, “This is different”

“What?” I asked turning at him.

“This mail, it’s different”

“What different?”

“The mail which I have got is different. I mean the riddle. I mean Chief has sent us separate mails with different riddles”

“Open up your mail,” I said pushing the laptop towards him and continued, “in a new tab”

Without saying anything he quickly opened the mail he had received from Chief. The first thing that crossed my mind while he was opening up the mail was, “If it’s been this tough and so long in solving the riddle then it would definitely be a tough job and a long long day!


Come back next Sunday for the Riddle…

Vishal…
