The drudgeries of life
Tuesday, October 16, 2007
I get the feeling I have the writer's block; but on second thought, I feel that I have such a lot to write about that I cannot seem to make up my mind as to what should the subject of my post be.
The past two weeks have been crazy! Everything was normal, by my standards, when the month of October began... ever since, nothing has been. And I thought that I had had enough of action for a long time!
Someone is not going to be with me for one whole month. I knew that for a long time but the attitude of living for the moment made me push that fact to the recesses of my mind. Just one month... big deal! Only on the night before the inevitable farewell did I realize how big a deal it was. If only I could have frozen those moments in time... Sigh! I couldn't let go... not that I was ever good at it. Oh well! The phone calls would have to suffice! Eagerly waiting for the 5th of November... and for you :)
As if one separation isn't enough, there was a second one. Life is deja vu over and over. Gone are the days when I could blame it on the dreams and get away with it! This time it is someone from far far away, someone I have never met yet who I hold very dear, going farther away for a month. The void is palpable, more so because of the abrupt change... abrupt even though I saw it coming... abrupt because I, for one, have the bad habit of taking things for granted... abrupt because of the last week frenzy and the consequent lull. Nothing makes sense, and I don't want it to. What matters is that it was and is beautiful and cherished, and shall remain like that *touch wood* This one is for you, silly kiddo :p
How true that you don't realize someone's true worth, how much that person means to you, until you get separated from them, even if for a short time.
Just when I thought that I could do with plenty of work, it has all slowed down to a trickle. Everyone else who i could chill out with is busy as hell, so there goes the idea of hanging out. Where do all the distractions vanish when you need them?! Damn you, Murphy :x
As of now, I've modified my routine to suit the present conditions. Hit the sack before 11 and get up at 5:30 AM. Unbelievable? Tell me about it. Just two days into it and I feel good... keeping my fingers crossed that I adhere to the sketchy timetable that I prepared for the next 5 weeks. Planning to take the entrance exams of all the b-schools... never was the desire to move on and do something worthwhile stronger!
Talking to old friends feels so good... I'm so looking forward to a reunion on a grand scale! What say, people, to one whole day of, among other things, unadultrated bakar and nostalgia to get drowned in?
See you around, folks! Keep your blogs, if not me, posted :p
