Solitude unlimited

These days were just monotonous to me. Stuck to the same routine, in dot to dot precision; the life went on mechanically, as if it is a ticking timepiece. Only a few hours were worth remembering, else the whole week was wasteful.


I was largely feeling guilty of not doing anything fruitful at an ambience where all the resources are well available. With the monotony creeping up my behavior and habits, now I have been fine tuned to the bizarre solitude present in my room and that at my work atmosphere.

Everyday, sight of same faces, same voices, same noisy shouting; I was loosing any glimpse of happiness that was left within myself.

It was remarkable to have met a seemingly strange face in this magnificent city. I was just walking down the lobby of a shopping mall with the interest of window shopping, and some pass time when somebody put his arm around my shoulder crying out my childhood nickname. It was rather a fear that hit me more than a surprise. He just pulled me to a table at the corner of a coffee bar in that prestigious Mall. The brand he bore on his chest was also much famous. Surprisingly this guy was managing that coffee bar. He introduced himself to with his first name which did not enlighten my reminiscence at all, but indeed when he uttered his nickname which we used to call. I was fascinated when I realized that it’s been almost 15 years since we lost ourselves in the memories. He was one of my school-day friends. We spent a few minutes reminiscing our school days and our naughty childhood. I had to bid goodbye to him when one customer untimely dropped in to there.

Some people are like this, they remember far forgotten events and people they had met long time ago. They are brainy.

My desperation is boiling up!! I need a change. This is prompting me to take a break. Hence a vacation is imminent. I am happy that shortly I would be reaching my home, which will be a refreshing holidaying.
