“Could I have a glass of cold water, please? It’s really hot out there.”

“It certainly is, and it’s just the beginning of summer. The temperature is supposed to soar in the next couple of days.”

“More bad news! Can you give me some news which is likely to cheer me up?”

“My cousin Jyotsna is paying me a visit.”

“That certainly is good news. When is she coming?”

“Tomorrow week.”

“Jyotsna is going to be here tomorrow? That’s really great news.”

“I didn’t say tomorrow. I said, tomorrow week.”

“What does tomorrow week mean?”

“What day is tomorrow?”

“Let me see. Tomorrow is Tuesday.”

“So, when you tell someone that you’ll meet him tomorrow week, what you are saying is that you will meet him the following Tuesday.”

“Not tomorrow, but eight days from today. My parents will be returning from their trip to Mumbai tomorrow week.”

“That’s a good example. It’s also possible to say Tuesday week.”

“I see. I hope to leave for Pune Saturday week. By the way, there’s a long weekend coming up. What do you plan to do? Going anywhere?”

“I’m not in the mood to go anywhere. I think I’ll stay home and loaf away the weekend sitting in front of the television.”

“Loaf away the weekend? What does it mean? Does it mean you’re going to be doing nothing?”

“What I’m saying is, I’m not going to be active this weekend. I’m going to be spending most of it sitting in front of the TV. I’m going to be wasting my time.”

“Isn’t that what you always do? Loaf away your weekends watching TV and playing video games?”

“That’s true. At least, I’m not like the kids of today. Most of them loaf away their entire summer vacation sitting in front of their computer.”

“Sad, but true. How about this example? When I was young, I enjoyed going out with my friends and painting the town red. Now, I just prefer to loaf away my evenings at home.”

“That’s a good example. Now then, can you….”

“Tell me, is there a difference between loaf away and loaf around?”

“Not really. In both cases, you are wasting your time. You are, as they say, idling away your time.”

“I see. So, can I say, quit loafing around and help me clean up this mess?”

“You certainly can. I’m not loafing around. I’m busy giving the finishing touches to the project. So, what do you plan to do this weekend?”

“Some of us thought of driving to Goa and having fun in the beach.”

“Goa during summer? Not the ideal place to be, if you ask me.”

“We know it’ll be hot. But we’ll be in the beach most of the time.”

“You’ll be on the beach, not in the beach. Last night, we spent a couple hours on the beach looking at the stars.”

“That sounds like a fun way to spend one’s time. In the afternoon, I saw several foreigners on the beach getting a suntan.”

“I never realised how difficult it was to run on the beach.”

“Yes, running on the sand is difficult. I’d better get going. Thanks for the glass of water. See you Tuesday week!”
