A peek through the crap history I have dished out so far says that I wrote on this day exactly three years ago. Not that I had anything really worthy to make note of that day. Probably, I just wanted to record something that day for the sake of that day. Definitely, I wish to make a note today for the sake of yesterday, today and tomorrow combined, and each of these three is much more than just a day they would typically connote.
I have been looking forward to today for the major part of the last five months. Now I don't know why, because this has never been the way I treated any day, ever since I went past the stage when there ceased to be birthday parties inviting the neighbourhood kids, or even the ones I was invited to. It meant there were not as many gifts to look forward to-receiving and giving. Probably, I expected some of those things again- a horde of gifts, or maybe the entire neighbourhood. None of these will materialize for sure.
These days are those days when I have rediscovered music. I have been plugged in all the while, but the difference lies in the fact that I have now started humming songs for their lyrics and not the rhythm and other auditory pleasures, like in the past. Every composition is much more melodious just because I can relate instances and experiences to the lyrics- stirring up a hundred, intense emotions.
I have also taken to pampering myself on a never before scale. "Retail Therapy" works wonders if the wallet can support a sagging morale, unlike the days of penury when therapy meant window shopping. The last two weekends have seen a major overhaul of my closet with the only oddity being roaming around the malls all alone, which has drawn stares of disapproval from fellow shoppers and salesmen alike.
And when tomorrow comes, I hope to have reclaimed myself fully.
