It was a gruelling almost 10 hours works a day, meeting targets and seeing every chart as “Green”.
I don’t have to worry about that anymore. I have time today, lots of time in hand.
I avoid lunching at the peak hours and prefer a little late or early just to avoid standing in long queues and wasting my time. I don’t have to worry about that either today. I can eat now anytime whenever I am hungry.
A quick 5 min shower and rushing to office was my daily routine. I don’t have to shower these days. Though I yearn for a good bath at times when the summer sweats and heat is taking its toll. Anyway a no-bath-day is equally good .
It has been in my wishlist to get meals cooked and served by mom . Seems like I have wished real hard for that.
In a tiny 12x14 feet sq room, as I lay staring the only ceiling fan in the room, the newly built cob webs, I introspect and play GYAN-nindro.
My 5 senses are all alert now.
I can hear the creaking fan louder in the next room, the cooker whistling in the neighbour , the prayer at the nearby mosque, the fluttering wings of the pigeons. Sigh! Wish i can fly too.
I can see the warm flow of sunrays into the room, the vibrant blue colored curtains in the room.
I can smell my mom cooking meals for me. The aroma, simply heaven.
Yucks!the many medicine i am gulping down tastes horrible.
The bed rashes, as i endure <feel>the prickly pain for lying for days on the bed.
My sixth sense is all NUMBed though.<comfortably numbed indeed>
I was recalling all the people who have come, stayed, left from my life, by fate and by chance.
The mean,good,evil,mischief me- the different me at different situations.
Many incidents were I have been surprised pleasantly by my best friends, the shattering moment of getting dumped, talking to parents when you need them the most –moments,the evil me though unintentionally hurt my loved ones and regretting later, the many “if only” moments of life- all flashing by and as I turned back to those memories, I find myself equally silly and sensible. That’s life is all about.
All is pacing slowly for me now. As some wise men (not me) rightly put “When everything around you is going wrong, just lay back and relax..and I am literally doing that!!”
