I Feel Like a Pendulum

 

So here I am, seriously contemplating what I am going through in this hiatus, figuring out what to do next, trying to make the best possible out of every moment, enjoying myriad movies, listening music, reading books and novels, and of course, writing just as much.

I wake up early everyday, as an act of self-imposed discipline, go out for a walk, spend some time in the lap of nature, admiring its beauty and pulchritude, get back home. And all of a sudden, I am stuck in a quandary, a dilemma of sorts. What to do next? I start reminiscing the well-regulated routine of school days, the company of friends, the sermons of teachers, the skirmishes with classmates.

Next moment, I see my favourite movie coming on television or my favourite novel at my disposal. Forgetting all else, I obliviously begin watching/reading it. I ignore all friends’ calls or messages or requests to come online! And when the movie gets over, I am again lachrymose(teary-eyed). Something is amiss. I don’t know if it’s the thrill of summer vacations or the prospect of interacting with friends and teachers, or for that matter the homework or the uniform!

 

And then I realize,

 

This-time-will-never-return-back!

 

I start appreciating life for what it is. I have more time to spend with my sweet sister, more time to enjoy with friends, more time to have enriching learning experiences, to take up a noble cause. Immediately, I pick up the phone and plan to meet friends and visit school.

 

A secret confession- I am missing my teachers a lot too.
