If you had two extra hours in a day, how would you spend it?
And that is what Indiblogger asks us to share through this new contest called Surf Excel Matic #GetSmart Contest
“Time is free, but it's priceless. You can't
own it, but you can use it. You can't keep
it, but you can spend it. Once you've lost it
own it, but you can use it. You can't keep
it, but you can spend it. Once you've lost it
you can never get it back.”~ Harvey MacKay
With my head resting on the window pane, i let my wind wander as the Dave Mathews Band belted out Rapunzel.. The cool breeze managed to sneak in through the gap in the windows, running a shiver up my neck while my hands searched for the elusive shawl.. I was lost with my thoughts, reflecting on life, wondering if it would have been any different had i realised what i wanted to do early on in life.. I brushed aside those thoughts and decided not to worry about the past, knowing that the Tomorrow was what i need to look forward to..
The lady in the seat next to mine was tossing and turning, i could feel her every movement with the little squeaks from the rexin seats, but the momentary disturbance was over and my thoughts engulfed me once more. I checked the time one last time and noticed the clock glowing 3.15am. Smiling at the prospect of what awaited me, i was off into the wonderful world where there was none but me, and there were no advices, nor where there any chaos. I was in heaven, enjoying this blissful moment with myself. Before i knew it, i heard the bus brake to a halt and all the passengers bustling about within the bus looking for their bags and trying to come awake and alight the bus.
I hopped off the bus with a smile on my face before heading off in search of an auto-rickshaw to take me to the guest house. Those dos horas [2 hours] from 3.15 to 6.15 was the 2 hours i shall savor the rest of my life.
Every now and then i wonder if ever i will get 2 such hours where i can be with myself and my thoughts...
