Random.

Kerela trip was a refreshing break from the monotonous office life. I had always wished to wake up to the sounds of waves clattering against the shore. Sit in the balcony and watch the view for hours. I love to spend some time with myself, alone, at times. It was beautiful.

Then there was a small celebration. Cake said "7 years of love and togetherness"! Cheers.

I have developed a new craving. I want to have a pet dog. They make wonderful friends. Last week when I was waiting for a friend,a street dog came and sat next to me. I started conversating with the dog.

Me: "Hello"

He looked up at me with Are-you-really-talking-to-me expression.

His eyes were dull. I resumed "Do you have any worries in life? Worrying about masters? Worrying about shaping up your career?"

He sat down with his eye resting on ground and ended up feeling sorry for me.
Me: Oh yeah! Now you don't even care. Why would you? Your life is all about sleeping and eating. I am envious.

Envying a dog? :O I am not crazy. Okay?

Every morning I come  across kids waiting to board the bus, I look at them and pass a smile. They do not revert. Loaded with big thick glasses, heavy bags and ponderous: perhaps wondering why do I have to go to school in the first place.

I can still recall my first day when my dad dropped me to school. He actually made me board the bus and followed us. When I reached the school, I was bewildered and bemused. A senior took pity on me and read my nameplate. She helped me find the class and brought me back to the open field where I saw my dad waiting for me. I could barely reach his knees. I gripped him tightly and started crying - "Papa this school is so big. I will get lost here". He smiled and lifted me. What he said after that I do not remember but that was the only day I cried. I was a good little girl then who never made excuses for not going to school, neither cried when dropped to school. Given a chance to go back to school, I will choose NOT to. :D Life is better now. :P

Planning to book an appointment with the same street dog. He seemed nice. A patient listener. ;) Oh! but don't let him know or else he might relocate. I pissed him off totally. :D
