He smiled , looked at this father who in turn pressed the clutch. He laughed, he reached out and held the glass. The sheer joy on his face, made me stare in admiration. Here was a toddler, oblivious to the world . Happy.
Today I walked 20 minutes to Costa. While leaving my house I knew the phone was not an option. I'm glad it is not. Its the kind of freedom I have never experienced. I walked by an empty road looking at the moon. It is a full moon night tonight and I can't believe I have ignored something so beautiful for so long.
I stepped into a coffee shop and opened The Fountainhead, before I knew I was the only one sitting there and the staff probably wanted me to leave or so was the look on their faces , smiling but worried . I had not looked beyond the book since the time I ordered my coffee. They finally seem relieved that they got my attention. I was ignorant of the world today , I was in my own time zone and nothing seemed to bothered me.
I have lived on time guided activities all my life. Everything had a scheduled slot through my day and I panicked if I did not follow these , cause I thought I was going against the process.I had standards set for my own self which restricted my life in every possible way.
Today I walked 6 kms , never looked at my watch even once. Noticed that there was life at every step I took and even though I got stared at for my free style of walking and loud singing I did not bother much about it.
I am going to do what I feel like doing ,what makes me happy without caring about whether I'm supposed to do it or not. I want to look into that mirror and smile.
I Don't ever want to look back and wonder "what if" . All the "what if's" in my life have to be materialized and now. Im not waiting.
I can hear each and every beat. I can hear it so clear.
