Life at the moment is like watching a movie in a language you don't understand! Maybe that contributes to not liking the movie in itself. Flooded roads, cloudy skies, sudden downpours, chilly breeze - none of these being my favorites.
Unreachable people, cut off from the world outside, staring at the firing happening in Bombay on TV - hurried calls to relatives to inquire if all is fine, screaming a few swearwords at the people responsible, getting upset at not being able to do much about it, (if blogging or changing status messages would help, I would have done it long back!) brooding over the same with folks at home, all conversations boiling down to pretty much nothing. Period.

Sit by the window in a plush armchair with a warm cuppa of green tea in hand, listening to some music I can't connect to - it doesn't matter- , texting friends, flipping magazines, munching on things I swore I wouldn't touch ever again, ignoring calls and chats - just not in the mood for a conversation -, thinking of the things I could / should have been doing, blank, nothing, standstill is where me and my world have reached.

I was watching The Shawshank Redemption again yesterday! And hence my favorite line from the movie has inspired an entire post. I've written enough about the importance of hope in my life. I thrive on it every single day till god knows when! I wish my blog lives to be written about that day sometime further down the lane.
There are a dozen things I want to do right now. But its not always that you're wishes are fulfilled instantly. There are compromises, adjustments, postponing, reluctance and so much more standing in your way. It won't take long to topple them down and go ahead with what I want to do, but waiting for the opportune moment has become an integral part of my life. When you do it for so long, it becomes a part of you, and when things go right, you tend to doubt their existence.
And that's when you hope - you hope things remain the same forever, you hope time moves faster at times, and you hope against all the hope hopen !!
Right now, I just wish people would agree to my whims and let me proceed with my rebellious and opposing ideas! Period.
