The Sprint of my Life

Chandigarh-Delhi Shatabdi, 23rd Nov

One crazy thing happened that day. Stepped down from the train at Ambala. Stretched a little and called grandpa to check how he is doing (he wasn't well). Looked back, the train started moving. I rushed to see the doors closed. Knocked on them loud. No response. Again, no human face. Knocked on the adjacent one. A man inside shook his head and shouted 'control room control room' pointing his arm towards the back, but I was barely able to comprehend him.

That moment I knew I'm in trouble.

I like doing things differently. To ensure the house keys are at their place, instead of checking the key holder, I open the main door and peek out.

Call me creative, or as my wife calls, Ghajini.— % &

There is a huge difference between 'zindagi chal rahi hai yaar' and 'zindagi chala rahe hain'. And that difference is zindagi.

Hey.

Today was difficult. I wanted to head out alone in the morning but didn't because you were feeling shitty. And so we ended up exploring together but we still came back unhappy. Feeling shittier than before.

There is a reason I want to do a few things alone. It has nothing to do with our relationship, but to create sufficient time for myself as 5 days are Network Engineering + household + us. Sometimes I like to break free from work, from the house, from the routine we follow, from this system, and from you. But it has nothing to do with you. Put me with Jennifer Aniston and I'd still be the same. It's the way I am. And it's how I would be.

Life is strange. On one side you spend 6 months with your parents, laughing, crying, arguing and surviving. Next moment, you take a flight to Goa and all is gone.

Some days my cells get so dead with Networking that by the end of them, I can no longer grasp a single page of a book as simple as "Who Moved My Cheese?".

To seek justice, I've filed a petition and asked Networking "Why Displaced My Neurons?"

that the very act of it, takes away my worries (waise toh kuch khaas hoti nahi hain but still), and brings me joy, a joy which knows no bounds.

YQ Baba keeps coming up with prompts. These are like fill in the blanks in school, which I could hardly fill, but when it comes to here my fingers just don't stop.
