Office hour

While I sit in my (big) cabin (let me boast a bit!) in the office on the second day of my job, I feel like a working woman already (which is a great feeling by the way). Never had this excitement before, probably because previously I was heavily underpaid and the air was too casual. This place (my current office) has a friendly yet serious ambience; I like!

While I sit in my cabin I think of the pain I’ve to go through and the immense determination I need to wake up early. Waking up in the mornings will always remain problematic, more for others than me. But, I guess it is worth it; after all, I have my life’s later 20 years kept aside only for doing that and relaxing and holidaying and spa-ing and family-ing...

While I sit in my cabin, random thoughts run through my head; why do rich people get all the privileges, for example, free entry into clubs or free dinner or whatever when they can afford everything anyways, while those who need them the most are left unconsidered.

While I sit in my cabin, I think of what I would do after office hours; should I go to gym and crash after that or should I treat myself for being committed for ten months today =)

While I sit in my cabin, I dread where the world is going with gunshots-blasts echoing everywhere and terror becoming the latest trend. I had great confidence in my generation and with such ascertainment I used to argue with my elders that it was all because of their time, as less were educated and some were disturbed (due to religious or personal reasons), that the world was unsafe; but the youngsters these days, with their frustration (due to God knows what reason) enraging them, seek violence as the path to harmony. World has become even more unsafe and fearsome.

While I sit in my cabin, I miss a bunch of people who hold a special place in my life. I want to be with them. I can’t digest the fact that I am giving more importance to other things than my family; have the priorities changed? Has the witch spelled her cast on me already? This wasn’t me. I guess circumstances change people but it changed me a little too soon than I expected it to. Ah! Well, I’m gonna make up for it really soon =)

Alright, I better get to doing some serious work, ‘while I sit in my cabin’, haha.
