Before the Sun wakes me up, before the daily news knocks my door, the ringing thoughts of missing my bus force my eyes to open to wake up in the dark.
I get myself prepared for the journey of the day pushing mom,dad & sis to make sure that I dont miss my shuttle.With half boiling milk in the kitchen, with half tied hairs, my bike stays waiting...everyone rushing to get me into my daily routine!!
I get into my daily Shuttle hoping to get a good seat without pinching my back, to have a sleepy ride until I reach my destination. I get a window seat, with the window panes not allowing me to rest on it, but me trying hard to forget my journey for another one and half an hour. With my eyes slowing trying to close to take the next nap of the day, the clouds follow me silently along with the sun who has just woken up!!. The trees passing one after the other, the newspaper boys and the milk guys filling the street, my way welcomes me for a new day with no change.
As my bus rushes through the roads I always wonder where are we upto, we always seem to move in the opposite diraction leaving everything behind!
With my eyes captured by sleep and time passing quitely, I suddenly feel the humps on the street @ a blink of an eye, informing me that my morning journey is almost getting close to my destination. I open my bag to get my identity, to let me inside my routine destined place. I walk down below the roof with as usual strangers around me, everyone rushing to mark their presence for the day. I too go in the crowd to mark my presence for the day.
Then comes my stomach crumbling to break the morning fast and I move into the canteen. Having the morning menus in the pretty same old style, I settle myself to go for the routine..!. Having filled my stomach and washed my hands sharing few words with my friends, I start moving to reach the place where I'm going to spend my rest of the Day!!.
With the place ready to take me up & provide me with the conversations awaiting my arrival, I quitely sneek in and start replying.....As the chit chats and the work goes on, reaches a point where my stomach marks its presence again!!. Having recognized its call I take the afternoon break to keep it quite until evening.
I return back to see that some more calls and issues need my response and attention!. As the Day slips into the evening, with the sun slowly packing to return back .
home and the clock ticking 6 ...I pack my goodies to reach back to my source!
I reach my shuttle to see all the seats still stale waiting for the occupants! Having occupied the seat, I pray to reach back atleast a few mins early!!. I look around the window to see the clouds floating around, the Sun setting, the birds flying back, the four wheelers & 2 wheelers crowding the place, all just wanting to go back @ the earliest, to reach the place from where they had been separated from morning!!
I am still travelling, travelling & travelling.. with the Sun coming down & the lights glowing......I still look around to see if I reached back......to start my next day back to my same old journey..................................

One among the traveller..
