... i used a quote about 'grains of sand wearing u out' for one of my post recently... and after Chanz commented that "Atul, you really have so many problem"... it stuck me how easily we tend to get all drenched in the grains of sand... and lose the focus from the golf balls... we keep counting the pebbles ... and we may continue to pour the coffee (or beer; if that makes more sense to you!) ... thinking it as 'doing our part'... i also remember "Tumhare paas bahut free time hai na!"... that pinched... perhaps pierced through... my heart... the innocent remark was so well placed sarcastically in the middle of the conversation that i felt the vacuum sucking a beat of my heart away...
... whenever i see my dad's name on the screen of my mobile phone... i expect two things... the call will end after two or three more rings... and when i will call back it will be my sister or mom/dad (depending on the time of the day)... so when the phone kept ringing today... i felt the urge to pick it... and then the 'hello' was in familiar but not the usual voice... it was my grandmother! ... how on earth it is possible that one person i was thinking about yesterday would end up calling me!!...
... my mom is very fond of telepathy... and i have experienced some practical examples ... in fact so many and so often that i have taken it for granted that if and whenever i am hanging around her, all that i have to do is take a deep breath, shrug my shoulders and copla eye contacts and she knows what i am thinking... (i bet this wud make my would-be-better-half very very envious; where ever she is right now!) ... but i neva knew i wud endup chattin with grandma! :D ...
... and that's when i realised i was missing the golf balls... the pebbles and the gravel mattered no more... the door squeal was inaudible and to heck with the Trojans! (although i must thank Chanz for the effort she took to advise me)... and after reading that Dolphin was not being invited by ISB, i remembered the time when i cudn't crack the DCE paper... i knew i had prepared seriously enough and i knew i have answered the questions right enough... but still... i came back home along with my father in the scorching heat of Dilli from their NSIT campus to Sahkhet and fell on the bed with tears... my stomach was churning... i felt terrible...
... alright!... NOT being able to crack DCE and NOT being invited to ISB are in two way different leagues... but then... and yeah! now i know when the bloggers i am following are not posting they have some far better things to do than i can only imagine... sometimes not even that! :-
... so i must say 'all the best' to Rokr: ur "flight plan" is keeping my chain of thoughts in right track, keep posting... to Aura: for she will surely come up with some verse to touch everyone's heart... to Kapil, Vikz, Karan, Enigma, Garry, Chitz and some Anonymous people who have given standing instructions to me NEVER to mention ANY thing about them... Lady Tao knows about that and i know she will smile after reading this (... IF she reads this...)
sounded low in this one... i hope you have bounced back to your original self by now...if not...lemme know :)
