Pre Vacation Rush: Part I
I had one of those eerie moments last night when I was driving back home from work. It was all quiet and no other cars around. The wind was blowing intermittently. I swerve around the curves on my way home. The trees on both sides are heavy and make the whole place dark. Only my headlights to illuminate the way. Suddenly a gust blows all the dry leaves that have been raked up on the sides on to my car. The rustling of the leaves is really loud as they fly around and above the car. There is this strange creepy feeling and my skin feels as though a wave passes through me. Its Halloween time everybody!
I am going to miss the Halloween party in my company this year and the celebration downtown where about ten thousand people gather every year in costumes. I will miss this place. I will miss home. I’m sure I can catch up with all the scary movies that get released. But there is no fun watching them after Halloween, is there? The feeling in the air has to be just right.
3 days to Hawaii. I have taken the printouts of all the websites that I had browsed and pieces of which I had pasted onto multiple word documents that all say the same thing. I have gotten hold of some maps on the net which I also printed out. I have made arrangements for my pick up and drop off. TheRock will be dropping me off at the airport at 5:30 in the morning this Saturday and LordOfHearts and EternalGirlfriend will be picking me up on Nov 12th. My Fishes are safely to be moved to TheRock’s house.
I will try to blog as I will be having my trusty Laptop with me. But it might not be more than once a week. So let’s see about that. What is a trip to paradise if you can't note down your thoughts and send it to others later? And there will be pictures.
My trainer tricked me into training my biceps twice by telling me that they were two different exercises. By the time I was done with the second one, my biceps were so sore that they still ache 40 odd hours later. She very gladly pointed out why they were sore when I told her that they were sore. But she said it with such a nice smile that I could hardly feel much ill will towards her.
Quote of the Day: So much to do. So much to do.
So what is your favourite line in the Desiderata? Tell me. I like most of it, but if I had to pick a few:
1. You are a child of the universe, no less than the trees and the stars; you have a right to be here.
2. ..and listen to others, even to the dull and the ignorant, they too have their story.
3. Be yourself....for in the face of all aridity and disenchantment it (love) is as perennial as the grass.
