Early morning walk.

I'm sure you must have taken an early morning walk. It is BLISS. The immaculate and fresh air, the silence that you long for and the feeling when you stand on a rock and shout out loud... "I'm the king of the world" and get away with it.
Or atleast that is what i've been told.
Tomorrow morning i'm gonna experience all of it.

6 a.m. I wake up with "Wake Up" by RATM as my alarm tone. I thought it wud be a nice touch. It is fuckin irritating to hear distortion guitars so early in the morning and i hate RATM albeit momentarily.

6:15 I've somehow managed to go out. It feels great. I was complaining for no good reason. I walk to the nearby park to get in touch with nature. Nature's call...excuse me as i relieve myself.

6:25 I'm not alone at the park. There are some old geezers trying really hard to lift their arms and legs. And there is this other dude..he seems to be warming up for something. He's gonna have a sprint across the park's perimeter. I have to see this. He starts...quite a enthusiastic guy, but i wonder why he didnt wear a bra or something. The guy has a nice pair of 'mamary glands' and i hate it when biology plays pranks like these. He runs for like 2 mins and falls flat on the green grass.
A smirk on my face that shows superiority. I can do better than this guy.

6:35 I think i've warmed up enough. Time to take that sprint. The first leap and then the next...this is easy. And in a minute i've already completed a quarter of the distance. And it already feels like i've run a marathon.
Neil Armstrong had said "One small step for man, one giant leap for mankind". I think i've taken quite a few leaps and that accounts for a lot for mankind. I better stop.

6:40 I'm panting like a woman delivering a baby. To hell with all this running.. after all i came here to take a walk. And that is how u can enjoy the beauty that is early morning.
To admire small things like the tiny dew drops on leaves. Those leaves are glimmering as if they were studded with diamonds. I move closer to have a look. Hmm this isnt dew drops...ohh this is where i relieved myself. I look to my left and right..no one is looking. I quickly get up. I would hate to be the guy who gets his kicks by inspecting his own pee.

6:45 I think i shud just walk the perimeter. Let the morning sink in. My feet sinks into something....goddam..it's dog poo...this sucks. Ok enough of this morning walk shit. I have to go home. Have to get ready for office.

Next morning i set my alarm clock to wake me up at 7..have to catch the company bus at 7 45. No more morning walks for me.

one year later..

So what changes in a year? If you were a 1 year old toddler then you might have by now learned to stand in a way which doesnt resemble a drunk Irish dockworker. If you were a 6 year old kid you might have learned to ride a bike by now. And if you were a 17 year old teenager you might have had your first shot of vodka with that cigarette in your hand. But what if you were a 21 year old guy with nothing more to do...what do you learn in a year then.

1. You learn to NOT save your hard earned(!!??) money.

2. You learn that inspite of doing what is considered the "best thing" to do after high school, you are stuck at a place with an AC vent above your head and you pushing buttons for 8 hrs a day.

3. You learn that you are at the lowest level of a corporate tree and that the amount of shit that you have to deal with is inversely proportional to your position.

4. And last but not the least, you learn to deal with all the aforementioned factors on a day to day basis.

So this my life. And it has been this way for a year now, although i havent changed. I havent been resurrected from the ashes of what was once Soham - Electronics Engineer. I havent been rejuvinated nor have i been beaten down by the burden of life. I've tried to be the same...and this is my space.

And as 'Borat' would say "Antry Pleease".
