Somewhere else.

"I have got somewhere to be."

I told them confidently when I had no clue of where will I be after 10 mins. I needed my own time, a little time away after all the time spent with them, for the past 4 hours. Wasn't that enough ? The long 4 hours spent in the room , where we were supposedly free to do anything we want, with no one to check upon us yet, the resources were the only things that could fit in our bags. 

Getting out of the place was what I was waiting for since the  time boredom dawned and practically, we have nothing to do.

I came up the common girls room. No one would come here. There wasn't any fixed rule for who and when can somebody  enter or leave, but from all the time I have been visiting, this place was practically never used and that was what I exactly wanted.

A place where I can find some time off the chaos, where I can do my tasks with all the focus or all the distraction that I need at that time..

Otherwise, what other options did I have ? 

There is a room made which gives us a dedicated chair and table to sit and work peacefully , with all facilities one can use whole working, but it isn't very private, at least for me as I'll continuously be distracted by everyone who come and leaves the room. That's my bad.

So I come here, with the basic facilities but to me it feels super comfortable and peaceful to be here. Ofcourse I dont stay here whole day. That would feel awfully isolated. It's just that, I love to spend some time with peace here.

Sometimes I think if we associate some of your responsibilities depending on the place we are at.  If that's true, this place is somewhere I don't feel responsible for being-on-the-go always.

But ultimately, this is a common place and under the college authority. 

Waiting and working for the day where I can have something like this, to be called mine. I'll make sure to decorate in a way which vibes with me; with the walls decorated and kitchen stocked and maybe with friends invited someday or the other !

Stuck in or settling in ?

Things have been pretty blank these days. Since I am an intern, the only people I am answerable to, are my seniors at work (and this transition from being in a bunch of people of the same group to working is fairly new to me). The work timings depend, on department to department, from unit to unit and within weekdays too. Currently I am at a calmer place so I do not have anything major to worry about. Things will be changing from next week, for the next 6 weeks, about which I have no idea. I’ll get clarity on the coming Tuesday. Coming back to the blank, with lesser hectic days, most of my time is spent lying on the sofa, scrolling through my favourite youtubers’ content, anything I would like to shop on and adding them to the bag and never with an intent of actually buying them. When not scrolling, I will either watch a movie or read a novel or hear them on audiobook apps. The loops never seem to end. When I realise that I have time at my hand and I have nothing to do, I go online se...

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...
