yet miles to go before I sleep

From the shady green coconut canopies to the high-rise buildings of a yet not-so- familiar city...feelings , thoughts , hopes , anticipations and aspirations brought along with all the other baggages , packed haphazardly in mind.First day at office…staring wide-eyed at the 9-floored building of Laurel Facilities, taking in the atmosphere of professionalism around. So many strangers in a lift waiting to reach their destination , silent , thoughtful , tied but by one bond “ The MphasiS tag “.
The formal introductions and redirections to the concerned department.Finally landing up on the 5th floor of Laurel Facilities and being introduced to the project and some team members. First step into the cafeteria the same deafening din but somewhat different from the cafeteria at MLA , not because everything is more costly but because everything has a “professional” feel to it.Then returning to lodge to the empty room , to the empty bed , the tv switched on to some familiar channel but the mind loitering on a not so familiar feeling… “ LONELINESS “ .Words of a familiar song throbbing in mind – “ and I walk alone “ .
New city , new hopes , new career , new aspirations … cut , cut , cut … replaced by “ LONELINESS “. Put in other words the first step to being “ INDEPENDENT “ may be.
