Life's Realisation

Sometime a hundred things may be on your mind. You think to yourself tomorrow’s a new day. You go to sleep hoping that your mind will clear in the morning. BUZZ !!!! BUZZ!!!!!!! BUZZ!!!!!!!!!!!! The alarm goes, you fumble in your sleep to reach for the alarm and put it off and then roll around lazily in bed. Little by little you start to really awake. As soon as you are wide awake all the mind baggage hits you with a thud. “Why didn’t I sort all this out yesterday” you think. But, it’s too late. Morning has already dawned….. You don’t have the time to deal with all of this. You have to get ready for life’s daily rat race WORKkkkkkkkk. You wrestle with your mind, to keep these nagging thoughts at bay. You, step into work. “Good Morning” everyone greets you as you pass by. You are forced to reply because you don’t want to publicize how you really feel or what’s on your mind; because you have been thought never to mix your personal life with your work life. Besides you have a very busy da...

“My eye was hurting all day and I was feeling totally out of sorts.” he said yesterday while I sat in the garden sipping my tea after work. “May be your lenses are dirty.” I said “Here, check and see, but I remember cleaning it today” He said When I looked at the spectacles I had to stifle a giggle coz I found it sooo funny to notice that one of the lenses in the pair of spectacles had fallen out somewhere and had gone unnoticed all day. Only when I pointed it out to him that he realized the missing lens. I immediately armed myself with a torch and searched high and low in every nook and corner for the missing lens. Thankfully, before too long it was found unbroken on the lunch table.

Today, I got a bit later than usual and to add to it there was a slight traffic jam probably because of the rain. So, there I was creeping in every free spot that I could possibly find to get ahead of the next vehicle and get to work on time. At one point the lane closest to the pavement was free so I decided to use it so that I could over take a real slowcoach that was driving fit for a funeral. I accelerated and quickly overtook the vehicle. Alas! But in the process I accidentally gave a poor old soul a mud bath. I sure as hell felt and still feel reallyyyyy bad coz I know what it feels like to get drenched by careless motorists. I wish I could have taken it all back, but, I can’t. I wish I could have stopped and said sorry, but then again it would have only infuriated the guy totally. So I just continued on my way and vowed to be was extra careful and not to splash anyone again.
