“The return of solitude was not quite as Dina expected it to be. These many years I made a virtue of inescapable reality, she thought, calling it peace and quiet. Still, how was it possible to feel lonely again after living alone most of her life? Didn’t the heart and mind learn anything? Could one year do so much damage to her resilience?”
//Rohinton Mistry; A Fine Balance
last night I was in the hall when it sounded as if my phone was ringing. I ran, I really did all the way from the kitchen to the study room only to hear it stop. so I checked my phone and realised it wasn't my phone at all. my two silly sisters were playing with the singing elephant and it just sounded like my phone. so I went back to the table to continue my mugging. and then it struck me, I keep waiting for a phone call or an sms these days. my whole day is built around it.
and slowly, I'm starting to realise that I can wait the whole day and it's not gonna come at all.
