Welcoming Monday...

Its a looooooong Sunday...merging silently into the official first day of the week. This doesnt happen too often - no long weekend trip(for a change no traveling!), just got to know on Friday that Monday is "bandh". Great...business get affected, money lost etc etc but what about the people relaxed :-) that counts too after all!
Talking about people, the Indian Skipper got married - but am too old to worry about that :) hopefully his game will remain the same and we will continue to win matches specially T20s(thats all I watch now - 1 days are too long!). First time watched Etv Jharkhand to get some inside news. But then all they had was a couple of snaps repeatedly being shown from different angles, as if reality changes every time you change the focus!!

And so also, Germany crushed Argentina - not that I am a soccer fan but I had a good time while my husband was explaining the game to my mom. To my surprise she enjoyed watching it - a relief from the loud TV soaps. Whosoever thought they were entertainment was living as a recluse or just had a bad temper!

Best of all, its an unplanned holiday on Monday , matching the calendar with the US vacation time of 4th July.

Sometimes, doesn't it seem that you have a lot of time and you think you can fit in everything -- so many pending tasks, forgotten indulgences and the list goes on endless. You start with one of them and by the time you are not even mid-way, you realize its better to sit back and give up because time runs really fast specially idle time. So, pending tasks still pending, forgotten indulgences never remembered - you just start doing something silly like blogging in the wee hours so that you wake up very late next day and everything next day runs late!

So while the clock ticks away the free hours, you again accept that you should never plan your holidays. You should just let things flow. After all weekdays are the reality hours and weekends should be the lazy gaps cushioning us from them!
Its an endless world out there...
I slowly trespass it
Feel a bit lost but still going on

Day break and I chase the horizon..
Its always there - far beyond reach
Stubborn sun watching me arrive

Am firm on the land
But the sky is unfathomable
What should I reach for
For its depth is unknown...

Then I see the sheath turning grey,
It pretends to be near
Embracing me softly..
Even warning me gently

It pours like a mighty warrior
An undeclared attack
I stop and catch my breath..
Things are different - I give in

Sun is defeated and so am I
The sky is not endless
Horizon blurred, the earth cocooned
Relieved abruptly and so am I
