The City That Never Sleeps




posted : July 13, 2008

The recent times have been extremes. Either totally free or totally filled with work till you have no time to feel. Really. Both have its own fair share of pros and cons. I hope in the coming weeks, I am able to find the right balance between both work and play, as cliché as it sounds.

Today has been somewhat of an emotional rollercoaster. And the only word which I think best sums up how I am feelings is raw. Really raw from the happenings on today. From information I unknowingly went in search of. Which made me feel bitter. To thinking about this broken jigsaw. Yet again. Which lead me to tossing and turning on my bed for over an hour trying to sink my emotions under my pillow which was in vain. Which then made me venture out on a Saturday evening for a swim which I have not done in more than say 6, 7 years. On the usual journey back a home, surroundings and people faded away, even the music drumming into my ear drums lost its appeal. My heart just cried. Seeing a mother and daughter out on a Saturday just doing simple things which I have not been able to do brought tears to my eyes. To have one, I live with but really to have lost her somewhere very far away. I wish I were to child who could run back and cling to her and fall asleep with the hopes that all will be well when the sun is up again.

It’s a scar across my heart for life. I am not sure if I can erase it or camouflage maybe.
