Rewards of Life

• A tall glass of musambi juice right after a heavy meal.
• To hit the bed after a long, eventful and satisfying day and say “Wow, that’s done!”, stretch and fall asleep in no time.
• The hug from my granddad when I come home.
• The smell of water on dry soil, showing the first signs of rain.
• The night, the star studded sky… to stand all alone underneath it, stumped by its immensity
• A nice long cold shower.
• A day with Ranjani… doing absolutely nothing
• An intense 3 hour chit chat session with friends, who had initial plans of studying.
• Music. Whenever it is. Wherever it is. Connects with my spirit
• The wild unplanned moments which turns out to be the times I soar, in the rollercoaster of my life.
• My dad’s jokes

Yeah, those are some of the best rewards life's given me. :) I'm blessed to be born...

Escape To Solitude

A walk by the beach in the evening, on my own
Or a night on the terrace, under the stars... all alone
Or on the roof looking at the faint glow of the city lights far away, by myself

Its not loneliness, its solitude! There's absolutely nothing like spending sometime with oneself. A time to ponder, realise and rejoice over the marvel that life is!

The highest terrace on our building was unlocked a few days ago. I don't know how long it will remain that way because the girls are strictly not allowed up there. The first time I went there, I instantly lost track of all time and people. Its a whole new feeling to stand there overlooking the city, with untouched winds blowing about, and a boundless sky studded with so many stars, twinkling. Everything is so pure and untouched, almost sacred. The silence of the night is so wonderful, it gave me rushes! Its a whole other world, that has recently worked its way into my twilight zone. Now, something draws me to that place every night. I lean by the low wall and look out the horizon with the city below, and the heavens above... The place that reminds me of how carefree and beautiful life is, and how everything is taken care of and there is nothing to worry about! :)

Trance

Life's become like a dream. I don't have control over anything, anymore. All I can do is sit back, watch and enjoy, until I wake up to reality. There's so much I have to do, someone I have to be, but none of that matters when a hazy mist covers my eyes, shows me only what I want to see. Its ironical, I'm enjoying fooling myself!
