The drudgeries of life

Somewhere I belong...
Mystic river
I have always fancied taking long walks.
And when it comes to Subroto Park, the 'longer than long' walks are simply a pleasure :)
Plus the nice songs on the radio! What more?
The icing on the cake is that sojourn atop the bridge at the starting of the Gurgaon expressway *sighs*
Simply love that feeling of standing up above the crazy night traffic, observing the brilliant lights running hither and thither in the darkness, making a dash for a finish line that doesn't exist...
Watching the traffic disappear under my feet, it felt as if I were a race marshal signalling the end of the race!
The longer I stared at the hundreds of beacons streaming towards me, the more mesmerized I was!
Was rooted to my spot for quite a while, thinking nothing yet smiling...
Life is so much like driving in the traffic... when you're stuck in a jam, all you want to do is get free and floor the accelerator... as soon as you escape the jam and find a free road, you race as if your life depended on it, only to get stuck in the next jam oh-so-quickly... you cuss and swear not to repeat this mistake, to enjoy the traffic-free stretch in the road the next time round... but your patience runs out by the time you escape the jam... and it goes on and on...
A vicious circle called life :)
It's funny how I admire this mayhem from my perch, yet I loathe it when I'm involved in it! Double standards to the core :)
Very long and interesting working days ahead! Hope I'm kept away from these parts for a while...
Cheers!

walkie walkie :))
Long hot day. Pleasant evening.
Loooong walk. Nice company!
Winding roads. Blinding lights. The sepia effect ♥
The mad rush. And then patience. Sexy contrast.
That abandoned park. The neglected "I Love You" scribbled on the dilapidated bench.
The broken swing. The dusty seesaws. The rusty slides. The nostalgia...
The sexy, tree-lined streets. The shadows. The pedestrians.
The long walk back. The imagined invitation to take this walk again...
Maybe soon... :)

Timepass
In the past week, I found lots of time for myself... feels good to be doing what I liked for a change!
Been blogging a lot. Facebook too. Old addictions resurface.
Isn't it fun to chat via messages and mails rather than by using Gtalk, YM et al? In the former, it's fun waiting in anticipation for the other person to reply.
Or maybe excess (ab)use of Gtalk has led to it being tagged "boring"...
Miss gymming, yet I'm not complaining... will start in a week or two!
Till then it's the blanket, the novels, hot tea or hot chocolate, music... and a few lectures :P
The foggy blanket that's been shrouding the campus of late combined with the severe cold makes walking around the campus at night such a pleasure...
Yesterday, I and 2 friends walked to and fro RDC (a roundtrip of 4+ kms)... the streets looked amazing, especially after a power cut!
I even tried getting lost in the foggy field, and what a feeling it was :)
Weekend starts tomorrow... going to meet a few DA-IICT chums at Connaught Place! Simply love that place!
Trimester 6, the last installment starts on Sunday... damn it's all gonna end very soon :(
Just received Mom-made rose cookies :) Totally yummy!
Happy weekend!
