Rapt In Nameless Reveries

One another of the funny scary events on one of my weekly trips to Chennai.... After a 3 hour long wait for the 10 O'Clock Chennai train, the train slowly chugged into the platform at 12 in the night. I sleepily dragged myself into the train, only to find that I had been assigned the last Side-Upper berth close to the loo... Sleep overrode any feeling at that point of time.. I hoisted myself on to the berth and immediately went to sleep... Half an hour later, sub consciously, remembering that the TTR hadn't come ticket checking yet, I opened my eyes only to find someone peering into my face in the dark... I was suddenly wide awake. To my relief, it was a colleague I had never spoken to... "Idu S11 dane?", he asked me. "Amam", and I went back to sleep.A few hours later, I felt someone tugging at me.. I woke up again with a start. This time it was no colleague.. It was chain snatcher, trying to steal the gold chain I wore around my neck... I got up and scream...

The small and beautiful, sometimes kiddish things in life that give immense happiness..... A silent walk with your best friend down a flower littered, silent road in the evening, Sitting on the shore of the beach, holding hands with the person you love, watching the waves, Waking up in the middle of the night thinking its time to get to work, but finding you can catch up on a few more hours of sleep, Receiving a bouquet of flowers from your fiance at 12 in the midnight on Valentine's Day, Getting off in the railway station in the wee hours in the morning and finding your dad waiting there for you, A sleepy irresponsible Sunday morning, Luxury of listening to AR 5 hours in a day, Finding that book you have always wanted to get your hands on after a long time and getting to read it the same day, A night on a moonlit terrace, surrounded by the 10 other people I shared a house with, and finally, Blogging when listening to some soul wrenching AR.... PS: For those who didn't catch on...
