There are so many things that we do, out of the blue. I decided to take yet another stroll to figure out stuff. It's amazing how thoughts just come together, and everything starts making sense, when you are on your own. It's also funny how people find it tough to digest that I can go for a movie on my own and have fun. In fact it's one of the best experiences I've had.
So today, I had to go for a walk, as usual. Only, I carried along my book and a pen. It's just easier to write things in one place, while you're on a go. But there aren't many places to sit and write in my colony, sadly. Today, I had limited options. I could perch myself above drain no. 1 or drain no.2 or drain no.3 or the football ground outside my junior college. Needless to say, I picked the last option.
All the while, onlookers passed by, baffled at my presence. Sadly I was also wearing a department tee which proclaimed my name outright loud. So I guess I've finally created a name for myself in colony. Yay.
There are so many places in my colony that I continually miss out on. There are just too many childhood memories that I have over here. I've always had a problem with saying no. So when I was younger, if someone asked me to accompany and drop them till their homes, I'd actually do so. Of course, I was naive.
In ways, I have traversed my entire colony at least once. I still miss travelling through trains though. My train pass is valid till 26th July, so I can actually make use of it and go to Vashi at least. In fact, all the travelling has become so ordinary and habitual, I have no qualms walking 2 kms all the way to Mankhurd station nowadays, which takes a good 30 mins, and then from there to Vashi, via Mumbai Local.
Train journeys feel endless. Sadly, I just can't come up with great endings these days, either. But then, I've said before, I guess it's the journey that matters more. More on that. Later.
