Yesterday, and the day before. Finally got some scintilla of respite from the schedule of an average MBA student. Holiday(s). a word, ususally a singular stirs up many things in the mind. Those few last hours in the class...when we dream of our cherished plans for the day(s) to come. We actually visualize ourselves doing those blissful activities which we have so long neglected. Let me talk for myself...getting into the sepia mode for a while...during my school days, i had such vivid plans that I would actually tremble waiting for the bell to ring..that bell...the harbinger of holidays...yippeee! once again are we free birds ready to stretch our wings and roam the sky with the dreams...
dreams of...learning the guitar...wrecking havoc with the science experiments in the make shift sci-lab in the backyard...go out and play...visit friends...and what not.
Ok then, we have reached home sweet home. Now what? We still have a lot to do alright..we still have a long way to go! With these thoughts we plan some kind of organized strategy to go about 'enjoying' the holidays...with markings on the calender. And then...then it starts...the gears start meshing up..and? Yes, we hit the couch. After all, this is just the first day..is it not? We get to our comfortable posture on the couch such that the bodily movement is minimum. Even the displacement of the fingers to operate the remote is minimized by auto programming the channels. And the calender, with the circled dates...they do what they are supposed to..sneak away to some place unknown to mankind. And lo...time hit us with the news that school starts tomorrow! Guitar? Science? Play? friends? We just keep wondering while we dejectedly pack our bags. Friends..Does that ring a bell anywhere?
Coming back to the present, I got the weekends off after a long time...and as usual, plans started taking shapes in the mind. Books. Travel. Take some photographs. Clean the room...and pour out myself here(i shall come back to this later). Saturday, the last lecture gets over. Phew. once again the whole process starts. Mind screens the plans like a soap opera...over and over again. But the holiday(s) start up that age old process of optimizaton. minimum movement. And here I am, wondering where did Sunday and Monday fly by? Friends, wasn't it just a moment ago i came out of the lecture, Happy. Happy? Well, i am preparing for the lecture scheduled in the morning. As i write this, it actually wonder how must Einstein figure out that time is relative. Before the onset of the holidays...they seemed so long for our plans...but now, when we have reached the end of the show...looking back, we wonder how soon the days passed. That relativity. But friends, atleast one of my plans has materialised. I wanted to write about this for a long time...And now...am looking forward for the next holiday(s)...
looking Forward...to look back.
