Awaken

15th July 10 AM

No one woke him up. There were no alarms, no phone calls, nothing. Nothing but unwilling to sleep more could awake him. Finally this prince of Persiawas awake. "Being Laid Back" was the mantra that was followed all through the day. So no rush what so ever. Slowly but surely, after having some nice breakfast he reached office with a big radiant smile. After fetching the water bottle from the pantry shop he started to look at his “to do list” which looked like this.

Party at 6
Shopping for DoMS
Birthday XXX
Farewell
Letter of Reco.......

This so called bright software engineer had everything but software in his list. Perhaps software was not his cup of tea anymore. Scanning emails took his another 15 mins and his urge go some where, kill something keeps on growing.

11.30 Am

it was tea time now. Friends who all were close to his heart start pouring in. His GYM partner was also waiting for him in the GYM. Nothing but life teaches you the real management. With many things lined up he has to make a choice. This time he decided to go to gym as yesterday nights party was still making him feel guilty for many things, some wanted and some unwanted. Gym lasted for about an hour and company of his perfect gym partner made it a real feat. He succeeded in focusing on the gym despite some surreal distractions in some strange attire around.

1 PM

At this Universal lunch time office food was the last thing on his mind. Few quick calls and he was off some exotic place for lunch. Gyming of 1 hour was proving to be the motivation to go for some thing that can quench his gourmet inclination. A bottle of chilled beer and some nice non veg brought some smile on his face and the party went on till some pleaded that he needs to go back urgently for some crap work, at least that what he thought. Considerate and kindness were this two special traits and off they were, back to the office, his second home.

3 PM

If anyone think that now he will work he is grossly mistaken. This is a gyaan giving time. Time to meet and give gyann to all friends who none the less have some work. Everyone has problems in their lives. And don’t know y everyone wants to discuss their problem with him. At least this is what he thinks. He is with everyone like manna from heaven. Discussing and counceling and dissiminating gyaan all over.

5 PM

This time is reserved for some surreal ;)....

9 PM

Party starts and it goes on till the wee hours

And finally at 1 Am time to go to bed with millions of thoughts lingering in mind...Today he has chased thousands of dreams. Few accomplished few broken. He is happy for the ones he has accomplished and also happy for the one he hasn’t for knows that dreams are dreams. Surreal but nice they are..

Few years back he wanted to have lots of friends. Now with many people around him who love and care for him like anything he feels content. Never in his life would he have imagined that he will get so many gems in his life. They say "You reap as shall you sow".

But with this glittering life style he feels a sense a emptiness, shallowness. He has always lived with some purpose in his life and he has always strived to achieve it. But these last three months have almost passed without any purpose. He could have done a lot as a first step for the new phase in his life with knocking on the door but he was busy living in his dream world, where there was a great luxury, emotional security, love, care and everything which anyone can aspire for. But some thing was missing. Perhaps sense of purpose was missing. But they say sometimes you have to take the things as they come. You always can’t make the things to happen. You have to flow with the flow. But he has always swum against the flow. He has always tried to force the things. Now when his life is flowing smoothly he is feeling restless. He is missing that force which he has always felt swimming against the flow.

But he knew this is going to change soon. Next week he will be some where else. Away from the shell he has been provided with. Shell of utter care, love and affection. He is again dreaming, aspiring, sense of purpose is coming back.

What about the last three months?? Has he lost some precious time?? He knows that something surreal has happened in the last three months which has already changed his life forever. With this welcome thought he is feeling sleepy and finally sleep prevails.....

22th July 3.30 AM

Dynamics of life profoundly changed. Sense of purpose arrived.
His next post awaited ;)...
