Lying in my bed I look outside the window.
The weather is brooding.
In an equally pensive frame of mind, I start a walk down the memory lane…

How a simple lethargic act can change your entire course of life…

I was supposed to take up some exams opening the gateways to USA.

Rather one day I find myself sitting in a bus heading to a place called NMAMIT NITTE.
Why? Even I don’t know…

Do I regret taking that bus???
May be…

By end of the day, I had a letter in my hand welcoming me to a family called Microland.

Was I happy that day??
May be…

4 months later on board Kingfisher flight IT – 206, I was smiling…
To an extent that it annoyed the weird old female sitting next to me…

2 days later, I found myself sitting next to 5 complete strangers all looking equally confused and proud and smart and dumb all at the same time…

Those 5 and a few more would have had lot less pain, would have been annoyed, hurt, irritated a lot lesser and of course the element of sarcasm infused in their lives would have been minimal otherwise…

This chapter of my life is called LIFE…

It gave me some of the best friends…
Some of the best laughs…
Some of the worst fights…
Some of the cutest patch ups…
Some of the best sleepless nights…
Some of the best breakfasts…
Some of the best idiocies…
Some of the best shake it raaas…
Some of the best heights…
Some of the best y y y y ys…
Some of the best version 3s…
Some of the best hungry kids…
Some of the best doing nothings…
Some of the best walks…
Some of the best rides…
Some of the best cheese cakes…
Some of the best grilled chickens…
Some of the best vacations…
Some of the best crushes…
Some of the best compliments…
Some of the worst insults…

And a lot of the best of life…

Would I have been any happier if I would have taken Lufthansa instead of Kingfisher?
DEFINITELY NOT...

The weather gets even worse.
It would pour now…

The LIFE is about to end in a few days and I wonder how the next pages would turn up like…

It’s raining cats and dogs now…
A coffee would be awesome…

Leaving with a lot more wisdom, a lot more maturity…
A lot of tears, a lot bigger paunch and a lot less hair…

Have seen almost all shades now and hopefully ready to take on the mean rude world once again…

Life would not be the same again…
People around would not be the same…

But the lessons from LIFE would be there…
Close to heart…
Asking to try one more time…
Asking to hope again…
Asking to love again…
Asking to keep faith…
Asking to win again…

Always…

Rain stops…
Sun shines again…
Do I see a rainbow?

Yes…
Bright and clear…

Phone rings… LIFE calling one more time……..
