The Occasional Breaks

The feel of cool monsoon breeze on face, sitting by a river...all alone...watching the water flow in front of hills...listening to bicycles going past...birds chirping...feeling the silence...feeling the peace...smiling and then getting up to go back to the humdrum of life.

Or, watching the rain from the window of top floor room...deciding to get drenched...climbing on to the terrace..and then on the water tanks...and then to the highest point of the building...watching empty green football field while getting soaked in water...closing the eyes, spreading hands and standing against the wind...breathing the fresh air...singing favorite songs...for half an hour.

Or, Lying on the four feet wide boundry wall of terrace at 2AM...staring at the star studded sky...spotting shooting stars and not making any wishes...watching the sky light up in bright orange due to slag dump of nearby factory...noticing sounds of different kinds of music playing at the same time in the hostel...calling up friends and catching up while the clouds move across the moon...and getting up after a while to catch few hours of sleep in the room.
