So here i am grounded,at home nothing to do..all i have is movies im tired of watching..books which im too lazy to read…and an idiot box which i just scan without any purpose…all in all not the most lively days of my life…So finally having all the time in the world i decided to do something i was supposed to do a long time ago…so guys here i am unabashed..putting down all those weird thoughts that keep creeping up…hopefully u will still be awake at the end of it!
—-Every evening,tired,exhausted,bruised from the battles of the local train,all that u want to do after getting down from the train is to hop on into the next rickshaw in sight!!…but aha where do i find myself???The amazing 8th platform at Borivili!…..I really want to meet the guy who thought of this “master-plan”….wish he had arranged for some transportation facilities to take us from the 8th platform to “mainland” borivili!…….
Coming back…..i get down….realize the platform i am standing on,abuse myself for climbing on to that train,abuse the guy who decided to make this stupid platform,abuse the system and when im tired of abusing slowly strut on to take “the walk”…..
The walk back home from the 8th platform is one of the most mysterious things that happens to me.As much as i crib about taking the long walk back..that is where the world seems to stop for me……happens every time!!imagine hundreds of people whizzing past u…and u r there standing still…frozen in time…u r in a crowd yet so alone…everyone is in a hurry…everyone wants to beat others to the end…i am in the race too…when i look at all these people i wonder if they really know what they r running after….do i know what am i heading for??…dunno…makes me feel isolated ever more…that`s the beauty of life isn’t it? u can be alone in a crowd of hundreds and yet u get a sense of peace which even your closest kin cant exude.
Source of all my weirdo thoughts,my poetry verses et al…..its this bubble i am in…hard to explain….the clock stops ticking…my mind and soul is lost..lost in the depth of thoughts…this is my space…somehow every issue that i may have given importance or cribbed about seems so obsolete…all those assignments that are to be done…all those people who have offended me,even the slightest issues that hang over my head seem to disappear…my heart feels like a child…innocent,calm.Serenity in a platform bustling with people!..that`s life isn’t it….peace is really within….
don’t we all have these moments..where everything around seems abstract….you stand and stare..look back at what has become of you…drift into your own world..a world of eternal bliss..a world where you are alone yet feel the presence of everyone you love!…when you realize that life is about living not just winning…. learnt so much about life from just a simple “walk”….
