The so-called pubic gathering

We have gathered again today, just the way we are supposed to be present, everyday. We wait for someone to come and start withth main thing. What are we supposed to do once we are here? We know the answer but having no one to stand on our head to remind us and grill us , we don't usually do th self-directed stuff. It's just too hot outside to go and do something just for self learning ? A really wrong idea indeed but I truly can't gather the courage to go out.

It's Thursday today, the department is busy with the new admissions. Most probably they won't be coming in today.

And here we are, sitting in the seminar room, the room at the end of the ward where the usual teaching sessions take place . It's about 28 of us sitting  in a room which has empty wheel chairs and other store room stuff.  Some are discussing the academic stuff. Heck, it's scary to acknowledge the amout of knowledge I'll need to gather within the time we have before our exams. Others are just scrolling their phones just out of borerom or avoiding the physical human contact. What would we talk anyway ?  Some are busy with their movies and games online , trying to make the best of this time whereas, for the rest of the day would be spent studying in the reading room. 

I don't belong to any of these field of passing the time anyway. All I can do is think and plan, what next!?

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...

The Abundant Room Upstairs, No One is Allowed to enter! #1

There is an old brown dusty chair that sits in the abandoned room upstairs. I didn’t figure out who does it belongs to yet we, the family who resides here on rental basis, are forbidden for using it. Mamma says that we must not enter the room, at any cost. Yet, I trespassed this boundary yesterday, when my dearest cat went upstairs, like she usually does. I didn’t ponder upon this fact as Cookie has her favorite place to sleep upstairs. But upon her no appearing back even after opening up of its favorite food (cats are very strong at detecting smell), a doubt arose. I waited for a few more minutes and when my expectations failed too, I decided to go upstairs and check. The forbidden room was at left, so I went forward and checked the room on the right side. “Cookie” I called out. No response. I called out again, twice, yet the result was just as the first time, that is no response again. I had the bowl of cat food in my hand, whose presence would have been hard to go unnoticed, given...

  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...
