The Feeling
It started off as a feeling one Sunday afternoon.
A ninety’s song by RD Burman. The teen blood and high emotions gave way as I started
drifting over from the angles and functions of trigonometry to some random
images in my mind. Suddenly a face became prominent among other images and my subconscious
started acting up.
I was now lost in thoughts. Looking outside my
bedroom window. Ducks swimming by creating ripples in the pond water. By this
time I was over the realm of trigonometry. I was working through my memories as
the memories became prominent and the ripples cleared out. I was able to realize
a strong bond- one memory. The face of a girl, her smile- her eyes, some
innocence some mischief and that song ringing inside my head made my hormones raise.
Suddenly I woke up. I realized that I
had already wasted enough of my time. The radio jockey was speaking some
nonsense- none of that made any sense. I got up and turned off the radio.
Ten years later… That feeling has amplified itself.
I am a grown up man now with different emotions and different set of
priorities. Throughout this time I have done things and set things in motion.
Now when I look back- I could have focused on that song or I could have focused
on those angles. None of this would have happened.
