Trip By chance

I can still recall that day, when I was completing my last moment packing for my transfer to Bangalore. First time I was going to be away from my home for an indefinite period of time.. " Is it Possible? " poked mind as always. I was so uncertain how will I live in completely new place different to mine in all possible ways.

Today it has been more than a year I am living here in this city . Well, time flies. I sat comfortably on my bed recollecting the memories of this journey which has a taste of thrill, independence, tears, happiness.. in short all shades of emotions.. Here I found a new family ... FRIENDS....

On a Saturday evening , I was chatting in a cafe with my friends discussing our boring weekend. " Lets plan out something" suggested Abhishek. Our conversation got a booster dose. Soon, we found ourselves booking Redbus tickets for that night. We were going to PONDICHERY..

At 10:30 pm we were almost chasing our bus repeating the Jab we met scene , tracking the whereabouts of the bus in the whole process as we were already late for a sundden, unplanned trip. "Bhaiya jaldi chalo plzzz" we screamed. Thrill followed. Finally, we boarded the bus .. Phew..!!!!


Next day, we were on cloud nine chasing each other on respective scooties that we rented, all the way to the Auro beach. We spent hours basking in the bright sunlight , playing with the sea waters and throwing sand on each others face. Our happiness knew no boundaries. " Kitna accha lag raha hai" said Vinitha as we were chilling on the ROCK beach late in the evening. The cool breeze kinda hallucinated us.. We were pouring our hearts out like never before. 

It was a one day trip but a terrific one . I never saw a better version of myself ever before. Perhaps my newly found self dependence and freedom swapped the first two words of my question in the first para , also replacing the ? with a ! ......

Hello Moment ...!!!!

When on lonely Thursday night, I was casually glancing outside my roadside window at the not so clear sky trying to spot some stars by chance with the actual intention of wasting some time, I suddenly felt the blank me.. My otherwise busy mind suddenly evacuated all its traffic .  "Am I sad???" pinged my conscious mind. Unconsious mind pointed at the concave curve which was silently framing my lips . I  realized I am smiling unknowingly.  The glimpse of the Silent road under the cloudy sky outside my window actually calmed me down. I was living the Moment without any occasion. Maybe it lasted few seconds , but it felt like years...

Dream

On a sunny morning I was just relaxing in my swing chair with a cup of coffee. The chirping of the birds in the nearby tree was piercing the tranquility of the ambiance adding a flavor to my mood. My mom started calling me up for breakfast but as usual I ignored proving my evergreen laziness.. ... Happieee me..... Suddenly I jerked, soon realizing that it is the ALARM not mom .. Shit...!!!! I sat up on my bed for next few moments as I got a #RealityCheck .... its a MONDAY.. I rushed to my desk hastily as I was already late but landed up in front of my senior in the corridor, staring at me and the watch sternly. I could barely manage a smile with a lame excuse and escaped. Amid the hectic schedule of the day, I sneaked into the cafeteria for a break. As I took a sip of my coffee , I recalled my dream. Once upon a time, my mornings started like this. Promotion, workload, competition, deadline , etc encircles my mind nowadays barely leaving space for other aspects. It sometimes fee...

Changes bhi hai zaroori..!!!

Journey from Campus to Corporate has redefined perspective in various ways. Hectic work schedule, deadlines,busy roads serves to be the main course of my usual routine. Sudden trips act as an appetizer to the monotone. Looking back I wonder , once a thought of a trip with friends used to bring in a lot of restrictions rather excuses and now thought of rescheduling it brings in the same.. Earlier the adventurous me, always used to peek through my mind giving its attendance once in a while. Time changes , so do us... Relaxing sea beach view , treaking all the way up, tea plantation ,river rafting or be it a Buddhist monastery on top of the hill .... Each episode has its own essence.. Whenever I travel I discover myself in a new way.    These thoughts kept silently buzzing while I enjoyed sunrise in the front seat of the zoom car on my way to a new destination. I took a deep breath taking in the cool breeze that was continuously poking me .. The moment became even more pe...
