Living each day seems to be a chore, an unwanted, much resented burden thrust upon. Every crack of dawn ushers in a night of an Anticipation - for that unknown magic cure-all for all of Life's ailments, for the unwonted Tranquility and Calm that will silence all disturbing noises of the pathetic Human Life - that never abates, whose purpose is undefined, whose end is indefinite, one that is overwhelming, that seems to contend with the Horizon in its infinities. With every passing second, with every breath quicker than the other, it only mounts. Each hour feels like an eternity.......it is a daily ritual that is exhausting. Yet the perpetual Wait goes on till the faintest orange glow in the sky is snuffed out by the velvety darkness, and the chirping of birds followed by a stunned silence.........

The times when you want to get away from the cruel, materialistic world, you want to break free of all bonds that restrict you, tie you down to the ground, that don't let you spread your wings and soar high into the sky of endless, liberating freedom.The times when you are tired of constantly having to live up to expectations, some, of your own and some, of others'.The times when all you want to do is dwell upon your thoughts without any noisy interruptions from the world outside, peaceful and tranquil in your solitude.The times when you don't care about the judgemental world, when you want to get rid of the facade that you have to put up everyday, the mask of false emotions, of plastic smiles and of unreal, mirthless laughter.The times when none of your far-fetched dreams and ambitions matter to you.........when everything that had felt so important untill yesterday, suddenly seems meaningless, when your very idea of certain things changes.........the Religion seems to be nothing more than a rigid diktat written by a bunch of moralists; the Nation seems to be just one among the many divisions man has created to mark boundaries of empires, each ruled by power-hungry individuals, either in the garb of People's rule or by irrational use of military muscle and assumed authority; the Language suddenly means more than just words and funny looking symbols, it seems to be an abstract entity, which, besides encompassing all emotions, also gives them a voice, an expression, it seems to go beyond phonetics to include all those unspoken things conveyed through a smile, a touch, a mere exchange of looks; the Expression of the Great Love means more than materialistic gestures, worldly rituals and does not require one to be explicit and obvious; the Family and Relations seem bondages, mistakes and obligations you have to fulfill without questioning their truth, importance and need.........All those times when you want to let go, fall into Oblivion, wish for eternal freedom and relief from the unending agony of Life, from being ravished by the world, from the angst at injustices perpetrated by the world on Man, everyday, and soak in the Calm while you have the opportunity, before any worldly reminder rudely jerks you out of your peaceful trance............
