The beach...

A place where she loves to go no matter what time it is. "The beach" Happy faces...cool breeze...crowded beach... She can see the excited children screaming and many people sitting on the dry sand dreaming while some selling the hot corn and the heavenly icecreams. None have to masquerade or act like a matured human. She just loves the way how people sit in the lap of the nature and forget about all the worries. The crashing blue waves and the colorful balloons trying to break the knots and fly always brings solace to her twinkling eyes. Little kids building their sand castles never fail to take her back to her childhood. The soap bubbles and the cold water touching her fair feet always makes her stay in a state of bliss. That is the place where she lived half of her life... The beach!

11 p.m. thoughts...

I sit beside the window with a book in my hand and as I turn the pages I open the book of my memories. I have many! Good and bad, sweet and sour, all those which made me what I'm today, both inside out. I realize that those memories helped me turn over a new leaf and write a new chapter in 'the fairytale',the book of my life.
As the pages increase and I go through them, I understand that I lived my 17 years of life under never-ending attention and incessant care accompanied with love in all forms from the people around me. I was like a baby cradled in the arms of a mother, protected from the real world. What more could I ask for? But then, a tinge of sadness hit me for I never lived the way I wanted to. I was used to see myself through the eyes of others and convinced myself that this is the real me. At the eleventh hour, I decide to explore things rather than sit and feel like a fifth wheel. Now, I start an entirely new journey which may hopefully lead me to solace. Certainly, it's better late than never. With this thought, I shut the book of my memories for now only to realize that I've spent here the entire day and finally go to sleep.
P.S. This is what happens when I sleep all day and eventually couldn't fall asleep at night!
