The Delhi Nostalgia

It was a usual weekday. The time was somewhere between the end of a tiring afternoon and the beginning of a fresh evening. I was done with my work at the office for the day, but it was too early to go home. I was confused. I started calling my friends- Anshuman, Nitish, Vikram, Happy and Nishtha. They were all busy in one thing or the other. This was tempting enough for me to go back home for a nap, but I somehow stopped myself. I didn't want to waste this time. I decided to spend the time with MYSELF. I left for Mandi House. Mandi house is quite far away from the place where my office is (Gurgaon). In the last two years I have spent in Ahmedabad, I have driven very little, almost none. The bike rides this week , majorly for work, reminded me of that time when I stayed here in Delhi, during graduation.

I stand at the crossroads, looking at all the 4 directions, offering me a good position in the race. Do I need to analyse so much? Do I need to make a 5-year plan? It is all about instincts I guess, I take the road which suits me the best now, I take the road which I like. It's all about the heart. There are people who talk of the race, let them. I don't like the idea of races, the won who comes first is called a 'winner'. But what about the others who worked equally hard, what do you call them? LOSERS? Are you serious? I think the only parameter which guides your pace, is TIME, stronger than any of your opponents, stronger than the race itself. So I go for the road which I like, I think it's not about which road I take, but it' all about how I perform on any road, That's the race, I guess... Racing against myself!

I am at home in a state of 'total rest'. I have all the time in the world to think, to watch, to waste. So, I thought why not use this precious 'gold' with some care. So from now on, one film per day, one upload per day (write up) and some reading everyday. I feel really lucky to be having this phase of nothingness, which is refreshing. I don't know when will I get a similar break next. (I must thank Sambit here, for inspiring me with his daily blog 'Rozana'! http://chandlafzrozaanaa.blogspot.com/) :)
