how time changes us

After skipping  my lunch for the 4th time in  the week... I stood at the streetside near the shops.. I could feel the cool breeze and soon.. a few drops along with a loud thunder which announced that the rainy season was here..I saw the labourers and the truck drivers.. and how the rain disrupted their meal.. but I didn't feel sympathetic  for them..
 for the first time.. I wanted to be them.. they didn't had to be corrupted for their job, they had no EMI's to pay and they had plenty of time to spend with their family..

Having lots of cars, a jacuzzi and a mansion is indeed a luxury but spending time with ur family and cousins, sharing gossip and finding comfort within oneself are few luxuries  that sometimes The richest can't  afford...

Maybe to the other people.. I may sound ridiculous... but when you are in early 30's u think u  have  numerous  major achievements and that maybe true.. studying  in the top institutions of the country, cleared the entrance with top 10 all India rank,  extremely  ambitious and work oriented.
But when u look back u see the people who used to be ur closest.. The people  who u used to have lunch with before u suddenly  changed  and became extremely ambitious

" Very few people  can be extremely  ambitious and down to earth at the same time "

going to school on a holiday

Going to school in a holiday is an adventure , isn't it? The corridors which filled with children's laughter were  totally empty. It was exciting for a moment as there no one and no rules and i could do whatever my heart said.  After a few minutes it hit me! "How would I go home??"  I went  downstairs and found someone and asked for their phone. In the 7 minutes of the call i could do nothing but stand their embarrassed about being scolded After the seven minutes my father started sympathising me as there was absolutely no one neither  in the school nor in the convent as all the teachers were on a holiday and all the sisters had went out.  My father said that he couldn't come in less than 30 minutes and i realised what  was i going to do for  the next 30 minutes. For the next 5 minutes i started doing my homework and being totally an obedient student but then I  wasn't going to get a day like this. And i decided to discover my school more as we don
