Today was one helluva day!
Got up snoozing the alarm so many times that it would've gone into protest!
Before leaving home, I couldn't find the pre-decided attire... rummaging my already messed up closet didn't help, and had to wear the same old re-washed attire. Left home late (no surprises there!).
Started out with the regular hurry-burry to catch the train. I became frustrated. And as I was hurrying, there was a constant pandemonium in my head. I was jotting a mental to- do list of things that-must-be-done-today! Needless to say, the list seemed endless and so had to jot it down on paper; with shaky handwriting while in the transport.
Then already hopelessly late for an 11am seminar at college, i wondered if the delay of the trains would also add insult to injury... trains proved me right...and there was a 15-minute delay! :X
Mounting frustration was now evident on my face now. I now saw the train at a far-away distance and what seemed to me like endless wait.
A pat on my shoulder which would’ve soured my frustration even more, instead shattered it into a million pieces. And my face broke into an awkward smile as I saw my Best friend from school standing beside me. Clichéd as it may sound, but I was so happy to meet her after so long!
Although those brief moments constituted a ‘Hi! What are you doing here? How have u been? Take care! I’ll call you soon’ exchange amongst us, it was the highlight of my day! Now I sincerely hoped the train would be as late as it wants to be or better not show up at all!
Next what? The train came, the peak hour rush engulfed me, separating us. I boarded the train, she missed it…. After that the day was as usual around me- the cacophony of the people in the train, reaching college embarrassingly late, delaying of the seminar even more, the seminar turning out to be an utterly non-descript dud, meeting of unpleasant people- yet I was in a pleasant and contended mood throughout without the little worries troubling me too much.
I carried that awkward smile throughout the day! :)
