Time Pass Outside the office

Sky peeps, from behind the black silhouettes. A muddy orange today, it’s been set on fire just like my soul. The premises have a quietness today, quite queer for such an early hour of the evening. The apartments across the road are glowing with the evening joy, daring the darkness to touch them. The breeze is shuffling through the trees. I decide to stay back for a while before I merge myself in the bustle of the city in my endeavor to get back to the place, I call home. I sit on the foot of one of the towering pillars of the 36 floors building. Being one of the most important office addresses in town, the security is slightly stiff here. The guard walks up to me and smiles patronizingly, “baby, ghar jao…” I lie, “uncle kisi ka wait kar rahi hoon, 15-20 minutes!” He weighs me with his eyes and decides to leave me alone.
The calmness seeps into me gradually. The soaring buildings, the huge spread of grounds in front of me, the spotlights glowing loftily, high above the central garden; they emanate a fascinating aura today. They slowly transcend from being inanimate objects and become a representation of life itself- reminding me how infinitely superior it is, in its entirety. And how, we are too small to be able to measure it! I know there are people who have figured out this enigma, but more on life and its dimensions later. My thoughts drift away from me, swaying slowly with the balmy breeze. And all I feel is an inexplicable peace- with myself and the world at large. The contentment is little scary. But at present, nothing really matters. Holding on to your doubts and anxieties is the root cause of pain. I just want to drift away with the flow now. Like a twig fallen from a tree on the bank.
The darkness is now complete, crowning the spotlights in the garden. The bigger the enemy, the sweeter is the victory. This thought brings a smile. I can feel a glow inside me. So let that fight the sooty concerns, I am going to enjoy the battle now. :)
