Alone !!

Sitting alone in my office working on my laptop I realise how lonely I am today. There is absolutely no one around me. Everyone is working from home due to one reason or the other. For me my dearies, this possibly is the most dreadful experience in life - when I do not have anyone around me. But, it is good as it made me realise one major change that had come inside me over the years. Situations in life have finally transformed me into a "People's Person" - someone who thrives on interactions with others.

(Sighs & puts on some music)Trrrrrrig! Trrrrrrring! the phone rings. One of my very old friends called up to catch up on time. I spend some 10 minutes on the phone yapping with the oldie frendie !! Went back to the good old school days. Oh! it was fun.

Coming back, Being a "People's person" is not quite easy. One really has to let go off ego, attitude and at times self-respect too. Its hard but not unachiveable. But, problem starts when this becomes your lifestyle. You spend hours helping people, trying to bring a smile on their faces, taking interest in their lives & emotions, trying to be the trusted one for the biggest secrets. But, deep down somewhere you yourself feel something is missing. A void that you never understand.

Today, sitting here in this lonely room I feel how no one is cared about me. The yapping web gossiper inside of me is silent and in malencholy trying to understand the strange ways of people!! (Sighs & starts working on Laptop) ....

Aha! That must be a terrible feeling to be in an empty office and just having walls around to talk to. But not to worry this is the best time for introspection and by monday you will definitely have friends around and then it would be no more lonely room no-26. Till then make best use of this time to think how will you enjoy ur weekend which is just few hours away :)

With home just stone's throw away, I am wondering what's holding you from jumping from office roof to ur bilding roof (it's that near)? but now that it's almost 4 and some more time to go, u can still order maggi, which they will take half an hour to prepare and u will take an hour to finish. Don't forget to work in between ;)
