Okay. This post is a timeline peg. A milestone that I would like to refer back some 20 years or something from now, when I will be all engrossed in the never ending web of my own life's complexities, office deadlines, relationship issues, family problems, and of course, general mid life crisis anxiety.
After having a 12 hour sleep which was very comforting, continuous and peaceful without the aid of a slightest drop of alcohol (or any catalyst, for tht matter, not even exams), I woke up to realise that my 4 day long weekend had just begun. Awesome.
The rays of sun shone bright on my light blue bed sheet by 12 noon, and created an aura of pleasure in the lazily warm afternoon in the pre-winter time of the year. I lied lazily on the bed and browsed through the editorials of the Hindu with the melody 'Chand si mehbooba ho meri kab...' streaming loosely out my laptop. Awesome.
I reflected on the issues that have been boggling me since the last few days, including my relationship with a girl, and found that I was wrong, having succumbed to peer pressure. I took a sigh of relaxation. I always become relaxed when I find tht a problem occurred due to me being wrong. I can blame it all on myself then, and be done with it. Its more difficult to live happily when you know that a problem occurred even though you were right in approaching that. And then I discovered the prospect of laying my mattress in the sunshine outside for some time so that it could do away wid the moist smell tht was irritating me since I came back from home after the Puja holidays. After about 2 hours, when I lied back on the warm sunwashed mattress, it felt soooooo good.
Awesome.
Morale of the story - Before this point in the timeline, there have been moments when I actually thought that my life would never be as happy again. But the presence of this pleasant day helps me confirm that whatever happens, there will always be a better, pleasing, warm sunny day waiting for me after every catastrophe. This reminds me of Kailash Kher, btw.
And yes, this memory peg would also help me remember my spiritually luxurious life out here in iit.
Alok.
