It was early morning hours when I went to the breakout area at office to get some water in my bottle….. I must say- the lake view from the breakout area is too good… Felt like looking at the view for longer, so I silently stood there keeping my cell aside and a cup of chocolate milk (yeah, I like the extra sweet drink)..

The breeze was just complimenting the lake…. The waves moved in the direction of the breeze…. Wow!! Such a beautiful creation of the almighty I thought…. Though I couldn’t hear the sound of the water from the top floor of this sealed tower, I could still imagine that I was happily sitting near the shore, with my legs dipped in the cold lake water…

The weather outside is just like our life: sometimes good, sometimes bad… For some time it gave me a relaxing feeling……..and later the nature has its own ways to pull me back to the nostalgic moments… I recollected the years which I spent at Goa… All happy happy moods, the beach, the hat, the time, people around, the lovely Goan songs etc…….
I quickly realized that I can’t go back to that time….and I wondered what I am doing!! Working – which I really enjoy… Studying- just to get the feather on my hat of master’s degree (for namesake and for accomplishing my ambitions)! Keeping the pace with colleagues (so that I don’t stand behind)!
Felt like I am running with the time and simply straining myself by leading the fast-life to die young!! In my childhood, I always wished that I would lead my life as per my dreams… But now I feel, we are living thinking more about the next future slab! And have apparently forgotten that we the present slab was once our “dream future” which we dreamt in the childhood days.. :(

Keeping pace with time, I realized that I had spent solid 20 mins in the breakout area and I had lots of work to be completed... So, rushed back to work….
While typing this, I am planning for a long vacation to come out of the stressful life… Hope my vacation leaves gets approved :)
Well.. Its raining outside and I must confess that my mood swings when ever it rains :)
There is something abt the rain that changes my mood.. my mind starts wandering… and the smell of the mud just makes me think of all the good things..
And I blankly consider that it’s the love of sky with earth in the form of rain.. though they can never meet, the sky showers the rain and the earth being receptive to it, responds by making the nature look more beautiful……….(This sounds a bit poetic unlike my usual posts…and I blame the rain to infuse poetic mood in me!)

The early hours in the morning when I am comfortably seated in the office bus, warmly sitting in the window seat with the curtain slightly open for me to get the view of the outside world…… My mind was singing “Saavan barrse tarrse dil……….yaar ek yaar ke intezar mein” and I received the text message from my darling informing me that the weekend is planned :) with two little sweet smileys at the end of msg :)… it was pleasant feeling….such a nice sync between the song and the msg …. I was waiting to meet :)

I switched on the player on my mobile to just keep me awake for sometime until I finally dozed off in bus... I opted the 1st song to be played and then opted the random options in the player so that songs don’t repeat…. The 1st song was simply chosen to keep going with my mood which was “Saavan beeto jaaye pe harwa…which is a khamaj song” and then the songs played in random were “Kailash kher’, Sayyan….Tu jo dekhe pyaar se…” then “You’re my #1 by Enrique Iglesias”..
Wow!! Such lovely tracks played back to back…..and all thanks to my player to keep in good mood until the journey lasted….

As I reached office, I saw people with people in raincoats and umbrellas just having good time walking towards their respective towers…
And there I was….walking without any umbrella:(…drenched like a bird and shivering in cold… and wondering why I dint obey to mom while she asked me to carry an umbrella… But things do not matter much…The overall experience was good :)
