I missed my morning train today by fraction of a second. Sat down on the station platform seats for half an hour until the sights around me overpowered me into an irritation. While I was making grand plans of things to do as I begin work, it dawned upon me that a slight detour is putting me into such a negative spiral. Perhaps, I am taking things too seriously but then, when haven't I?
Armed with a fat book in hand, waiting for the train can be a rather long ordeal. In the meantime, I see more trains apart from my destination departing the station. Secretly I envy the people who leave for their work on time, take the same train and are punctual to the core. This morning is making me churn some unwanted thoughts. All I need is some calm and quiet. The change in my routine has slightly unbalanced my composure today morning.
This is also a lesson.
The trivialities of life are bogging me down. Or, a missed train ride is making me think so drastically. In any case, I am looking at regaining my calm for the day and people ahead. Ah! Here I hear my train announcement. It's slightly nerving me that I couldn't appreciate the sunlit plaza around me. In trying to block the chaos that whirls in my ears, I realised everyone is in a hurry. There's not a soul who would be journeying for pleasure. Or, this city doesn't invoke travel and pleasure in the same breath.
My train of thoughts is cut by my train. The struggle to squeeze in begins now.
