The company of me ...

Life in the fast lane (as is described by many) is quite typical of metros today. Your year is not made up of your cousin's wedding, or your parent's 30th wedding anniversary, or your niece's first birthday ... it is made up of weekdays and weekends (including those 10 stupid company holidays you get in a year and your 12 casual leaves, half of which usually go waste for most people, as they are too busy to use them). Sometimes you are so busy walking, you tend to forget what you started walking towards.

Nonetheless, it doesn't take much to reclaim it all. Ever taken a walk alone in the park, ever shopped (or window-shopped) alone, ever had a cafe-latte' with yourself, ever listened to your favorite music while penning your thoughts in a busy upbeat coffee-place, ever read your favorite book in your favorite hang-out place, ever played silently with a kid sitting across 2 tables away at a busy restaurant while sitting alone, try it ... might just work for you! Does for me ;)

Its an art to dig deep inside ourselves to find our own happiness!
I find it when i play guitar!
I find it in clicking photographs of nature, i find it in my favorite TV shows, i find it on terrace while flying a kite :)
Such a nice feeling!
