My Life has changed !!!

Its 8:00AM and I am in my car to reach the office. I seat here in the same manner as I did a few years back in my college bus. Little did I know that things would change so much in 2 years; watching the transformation of a loud & bubbly person into a quiet professional. I wouldn't blame the professionalism for the change though. It is destiny, or may be you could call it life.

While driving I look out of the window watching people trying to catch up with "life". It's an hour's journey and the only company that I have is the RJ. I can't help thinking about the short bus journeys to college.. well it's a paradox to call a distance of 30 KMs "SHORT", but that is how it always seemed. A typical college day begins with all the familiar faces; the reasonless giggles, the loud laughter & the eyes of the professors who would watch on us as their prospective prey for the day. The pleasant memories of college are in itself good enough for me to drive till my office.

I now reached, and notice that it is time to flash my smile of acknowledgement to all the known strangers near my cubicle. A few of my colleagues greet me with their morning wishes and we exchange our pleasantries. Discussion jump to the weekend plan & I wonder what I'd do over the weekend. A few years back, weekend or weekdays didn't matter to me.

There is a time in life, where one needs to go ahead, leaving behind your friends and carrying along only memories. You do make new friends, but then you never get the old close ones. You do meet people who'd be so good to you that you could tell them anything & everything, but you do not find a person to whom you needn't say things.

As I sip coffee from the ubiquitous coffee mug, watching the rain, trickling down the tinted glass, veiling the scenic beauty outside, I tell myself, may be there will be a day when things will change, a recap of all the events & I just have to wait. May be there will be a day when I can go out in rain and leave behind my professionalism.

And I keep on waiting!
