Softening effect of a Sunday on a Tensed Mind

 

So, today was the first Sunday after the exams. It’s the official 2nd holiday for me after the ending of the exam s but you know, it definitely takes some time for the tensions to wear off your mind and let the peace set in. today was a such a day.

Waking up at 10 minutes past nine, I was reminded of the fact that my mommy needs to be at a designated place at or around 10 and I was expected to accompany her. I was really lazy to be at that position now and after beating around the bush for a while, I gave in and we were all set to leave. Brushing of teeth, bathing and getting ready still took a while, at last, that was a Sunday ritual and deserved its own honour!

Before getting on behind the wheels, I made sure I had mugged up the path that we have to follow, as it was the first time we would be going there and the traffic was expected to be a little more than usual. Also, not forgetting the fact that I was at a level little less than intermediate when it came to driving. Being on the road for a while that was more than what my mom had anticipated, she confirmed if I was sure of the directions to be followed. I nodded in a yes. Couldn’t shake her confidence, right? I reached safely and on time and then, it didn’t take even 10 minutes for the task to be done and officials sending us back home. I was disappointed. We did put in a heck lot of efforts and I expected a little more courtesy than that. Well, there is nothing more I could have done. We headed back home. Before reaching home, I wanted to get something to eat, as a reward for all we had done. We stopped at a shopping mall in between picked up little snack kind-of stuff and got back to the final destination, HOME. I was tired and exhausted. Yet, I knew had we not made this trip, then firstly, I would have got bored whole day and secondly, we would have regretted not making an effort for the task we wanted to get done, irrespective of the results.

Getting on the couch, we gulped down the juice we brought in and took a nap of about 15 minutes. My mom went to prepare the food, my brother was back to his tasks, and so did I. I studied a bit, preparing for another little exam to be held on 21st of this month.

About an hour later, I called for the lunch which was another Sunday ritual, the best ever combination of Rajma-Rice. These are the little things that make Sunday feel like a real, satiating relaxing time of the whole week. We couldn’t have thanked enough for the taste we are gifted every Sunday.

After lunch and little talking about everything here and there, we all , again went bavk to our rooms to continue the tasks we were at.

4:30 pm

Time for the F1 race, something my brother just won’t miss.

I came downstairs too and we had our family get together tea time again. The race ended in an hour or so, but my brother being disappointed by the results of the race, we turned the TV off before the designated time. “Time for me to workout.” I said and left the room. About 45 minutes of a little weight lifting and shaking off, I was so relaxed!

And here I am right now, concluding the whole day. Ill have a little dinner and sleep off. Regular days to come for together and the same, dynamic fun returning to the post exam life! We will keep chatting about anything and everything that matters.

Till then, See ya!



Thank you.

Escaping, but from whom?

It's a quite place which I always claimed will make me most productive.  And now that I am here, I occasionally get lost in my thoughts, which is basically about all the issues I am surrounded with. While at home,  I was constantly in search of emptiness, a room where no one ones what am I doing, judge whether what I am doing would actully help me make my future better, to validate the feelings I express. I used to just sleep or try to study in a room locked from inside where most of the time was spent crying till I am too exhausted to do nothing more than needed, sorting what went wrong and hiding from everyone around. I have been there before and after attempts of moving on, the things are back again , right in front of me. Everytime it happens, it leave a hollowness inside which doesn't really fills up. It gets deeper, progressively. I have been shrinking out socially and hasn't been a serious bother since the ones I have to keep with me, are with me.  The previous tim...

That's the way I work!

 I exhaled the breath that was captured inside me, realizing that the person didn't intend to convey the news to me yet. I'll get my news.  I don't know how long that's going to take but my mind is beginning to take its troll. I just couldn't wait anymore!  Was the news even meant for me? I didn't know. All I knew was , being patient is the only option to patient.  I have been acting impulsively. Once I decide I want to finish off something, I'll do it anyway, without giving it a second thought. Once convinced, concider it's done. The whole efforts, are therefor, put into the Convincing process. It's freaking hard to convince me to do something. My friends often say, why do you think so much? Why are you so afraid of taking actions ? I don't think I am afraid or I take too much time deciding. It's just, i don't have an explanation for this. If my Gut feeling says I should do it, I'll do it or otherwise.  Following my own philosophies,...
  I can stare at the sky and think about literally everything that’s there, be it connecting the dots of my past happenings that got me to the stage I am. While thinking about it, I feel as if I am narrating my favorite experiences to my long-gone friend. I jump from one experience to another, losing the chain of the story and eventually getting back from where I started. I think about the most practical things I can see in my future and what I’ll need to do for it. At times, I land up making alternate possibilities of how things might have turned out if I had made choices a little different from what I actually did. Sometimes, when I don’t want to think about anything in particular, I get my earphones and enjoy the music and the peace in me with the quiet of the night. Without anything to listen, my head will always be filled with something or the other. So yeah, that works sometimes. I see aeroplanes occasionally. They lit me up. Memories. Dreams. Possibilities. In these da...
