Working, Reading, Driving
Nowadays, I seem to be doing these activities a lot. If I am not working, I am driving to and from office. If I am done driving, I am reading, anything on the laptop or a physical book. The other things do not seem to matter or slip through the cracks somehow.
Catching some movie made in the 70's makes my heart flip. Yeah, I love the Kabhi Kabhis, Don, and many such more. Have eternal affection for the original angry young man.
After joining this new place, have been trying to stay aloof. From people, from getting into relations, from sharing my life incidents, sorrow, joy. Giggling with a few colleagues is something, but forming bonds I wont do again. With the few friends I have I just want to pass my life peacefully. Anyway, the "friend" keeps saying, never get into the complexities of other people's lives, you will lose your peace of mind. So true.
Staying away from even known people, I feel odd sometimes. Consciously staying aloof is taking a toll on my senses. I feel bored at work but I have realized that I get to finish my work faster. I actually look forward to getting home and I can rather focus on the most important part, my house and my personal life. Earlier, I used to expend a lot of emotional energy in the office and would be stressed and furious at home. Now, I am at peace, with myself, both at work and at home.
Aah, how did I forget the meditation? I do try to squeeze in a quickie while the "rice is cooling". It helps...in focusing on the day ahead and not on anything else.
Off to sleep. Whatever I have written seems so off-flow...Time to sleep.

Interesting post. As your interests state writing novels/novellas felt this might interest you.
ReplyDeleteI started WatStory(http://watstory.com/story/featured)earlier this year. It is a community for writing and reading. There is a good amount of short stories, poetry etc. on the platform already. The website itself has a minimalist interface, a good content editor for writing in English, Hindi and Bengali and no ads.
