An escape
What to do when all you need is an escape from the world? I mean the "world" and not just the people around you or the workplace!
While seated in the room, with a french window spanning over the beautiful view of CST, in the dim light of those yellow fairy lights, with Coke studio playing in the background, eating french fries and drinking Coke, i still wonder what could be a better hideout? Somehow i was successful in minimizing the human interactions to phone (family calls, you know), and a couple of interactions with the food delivery guy, wondering was it enough?
With an overexciting year coming to end, a year filled with all sorts of possible social events, and outings, am, still looking for that one weekend where I could be with only myself! Last week, around Christmas, met a friend, who suggested to take a week off, while i was cribbing about "I need a shut down". For a moment, i thought she just spoke my mind, when she explained, a week off from everyone, including friends and family, just with yourself, in some unknown place, a place where you have not been before. Very next second, i realized, it will just remain a dream for someone like me. Cutting off family is something I could never do. I am among those, who feels guilty if she has to disconnect a call from family, irrespective of any situation.
Well, coming back to this year, it was hectic. Last time i took some time off for myself (the way she explained) was almost 2.5 years back. Since, then, looks have been on the toe. Have taken time off from work in between, but the days away from work appear to be more hectic. A lot of my friends have suggested similar things to me, but i can't just seem to be able to pull these off. Something is there, that refrains me from taking up such things. It's not that i have never done it, but recently, it has become more difficult. It just doesn't come from the heart.
Phew, guess i should change my playlist to "Way back into love"!
Nevertheless, a very happy new year to the kind souls reading this place in 2019 too! :P
