It was 114th day today, here in Delhi. However in some aspects it was a first day.
- First time I saw a movie, in a multiplex here.
- First time had a taste of (deeply craved) local road transportation service.
- It was also a first time I was hit for sixes in New Delhi, (it feels bad to be at receiving end!!)
I do not intend to praise myself but it was perhaps the first day when, for so many hours at a stretch, I did not think of studies at all!!! (Quite a record I guess).
The movie I saw ended on a line which struck to my mind. It said that “at times, in order to be focused we tend to isolate ourselves from the rest of the world. Tough as it is, we must need to draw a line between the Focus and Isolation.
Surroundings and the individuals who form those surroundings are also a great source of learning. I deny the submission of an individual identity just to gain the group identity, however it is of great importance to be able to be a part of a team. Good as one may be, one should never be an ivory tower in any aspect.
On another stroke of thought I admire being slow and selective in striking friendships, however the pace of this process needs to be adjusted according to the environment and people around you.
For this learning, I am indebted to some of my friends. It would be judgmental of me to say anything about any of them. However the only thing I am compelled to say today is that it is these people; who are instrumental in reminding me of the world, the existence of which I had forgotten for the quite some time now. And the fact that this belongingness and bonding come with our difference in opinions, way of living, temperament, stage of life being still as intact as they ever were, makes me feel proud of all my friends. (Democracy is truly a fantastic force!!!)
A close friend had once said, friendship is accepting people without judging them.
I now understand a bit what the friend had meant years back, when this was said.
