Off for a much needed break..

For long time I was stuck up in the city of dreams for one reason or the other. No doubt I love being there and living the life on the edge but the urge within me to take a break from everything and go off to my place was growing day by day..

Exams got over and since then I am in total festive mood. I did not feel like doing anything else and to be very honest the thought of “home calling” was the only motivation for living these 3-4 days..

Today morning, I came back to mulund and decided to take off for my place in the afternoon itself. Initially I had planned to go tomorrow, but my urge which I mentioned earlier made me cancel tomorrow’s tickets.

2 hours in the train and I realised that I had reached near my place. The difference in the atmosphere was too stark to ignore.

From lonavala onwards there was silent breeze flowing through the compartment. When I looked around I saw the green pastures waving to the tunes of the same breeze. Further, there was something magical about the moment. I guess it was the freshness of the breeze. For a long time now I haven’t experienced something known as “Fresh air” (apologies to Mumbaikars).

Three years ago when I was working in Mumbai, I used to come back home every Friday night. And there was one thing I never missed during any of my trips. I used to stand at the door of the local after lonavala.

Was there any particular reason for that? Hell, yes. It was the same maddening breeze. It used to re-energize me. It used to prepare me for next 5 days of hustle-bustle in my life.

I did experience the same soothing breeze and felt like I’ve got room for ....breathing
