Today is something different

         "Today is something different"

I woke up in morning at same routine time at 7:30am but I felt something different. I don't know what but there was something different.

No sunlight,   breeze touching my hairs,  felt a little more cool compared to other days, Questioning myself I looked towards AC but it was off. Question remained unanswered,  but there was something different happening with me today.

Got ready for office and reached bus stop,looking around for bus, there was no crowd around me, where usually people use stand in queue for their turn, don't know why. feeling strange why am I feeling  different I continued for my office.

I knew there would something different in office as well and there it is,  I was amongst  early coming employees for today from amongst late coming employees.

Continued my work, was going for lunch and one of my colleague with whom I had never gone for lunch before asked me for lunch today,  I anyways go for lunch alone thought, it would be good having lunch with  a company. Had lunch at different place.

Came back after lunch,  continued with my work and don't know when time flew off and  when I realised it was almost 7:30pm,  being Friday almost all had vacated the office. I was thinking what the hell was going on, why am I feeling so different today.

Went back home, had dinner, took a walk around my condo,  came back and went for sleep thinking why was this day different. Why some days are always like this.

Thinking and thinking I finally felt I have answer for this and a sound is helping me in the background. This answer was just behind that sound. Coming more closer. This sound was becoming louder and louder and had started irritating me. Irritation converting into frustration, And suddenly my eyes opened.

An alarm clock was just beeping beside my pillow. Yes it was a nightmare, took a deep breathe, was so curious to know the answer I tried sleeping again in the same position so that I can continue my dream but that answer was no where near me. Almost near to the answer but that question still remained unanswered "Why was today something different"

River Walk

Walking by the road I reached " River walk"  where people usually take a walk, where there is a river flowing beside and people enjoy nature. No noise, no pollution, only soothing sound of leaves, birds, and breeze kissing one's face. Enjoying nature I kept walking. Young couples jogging on the track,  elder people having a quite walk, a blissful couple walking holding a baby, full family playing in the park with their children's, some taking a walk with their dogs, some with their children and some walking alone. Suddenly my phone made a beep sound.

 I received an image of a beautiful baby from my friend, With whom we use to roam around crazily. Being a only girl in the group she was not treated as a girl. We use to play, we use to fight, we use to sing,  dance, we use to go for trips, we use to pull each others legs and what not. It was full on " matargashti ".

A smile came on my face reviving those memories. She use to share each and every thing with us,  about her family, friends, everyone . We were always at precedence for her,  even if she had plan with her room mates, she use to cancel her plans for us. We use to eat and roam around late night and talk crazily on any shit. We use to work together in office, go for lunch together  and play together. It was a world where we made our own world.

Suddenly we got a news that she is getting  married. We were very happy but we're also in a state of ambivalence full of mixed emotions. We were not invited in the marriage being  her male friends and her family being very conserved. There after we met twice or thrice after marriage. And now just received an image of her baby who was just born.

Tears rolling down my eyes, Realised  almost 5 years passed out. Like a neck of woods, a smallest part of one of our friend was born,  but we couldn't meet.  We all had different  priorities now.  We all are so away from each other now.

Time change,  Place change,  People change, Priorities change but memories stay.

Wiping my tears, overcoming acute nostalgia for those days, I took a cab and reached home with all those memories revived. Living again with I, Me and Myself.
