There are phases of one's life where things become so important that the day just seems wrong without it.
In early years of my life- looney tunes, tom & jerry, roger rabbit, garfield, aladdin etc. was just a daily dose of laughter that seemed mandatory.Laughing at the same old sequences that I had by heart, but still the expected sequence brought out the fits of laughter as it had the first time I saw it.
Then another five years down the line and things added - school seemed the main fun programme that provided the much required daily dose of amusement.
All the friends, the canteen, the running away to the water cooler to skip out on a class but then chickening out at the last minute by the idea of getting caught. Running to the last seat of the bus after school gets over, and claiming your right to it as if it were your heirloom, looking down upon at all the other kids who were in buses later than ourselves..and definitely booing at them.
School got over like a yawn..while it was fun while I was at it, the prospect of an impending clearer specialized "blur" of my supposed future which would be like a portrait, if done with enough thought or may just turn out to be a disaster like cookies left for more than the intentional time span in the oven.!
Colleges, institutes, universities- everything seemed so luring and to difficult to be chosen between. Now the daily dosage of college hunt seemed like a never ending and addictive pursuit.
Finally, success..!College chosen. Day 1 seems eternally away. Daily nausea, apprehensiveness, anxiety etc. everything just seemed part and parcel of the game.
College started and I never realised how smoothly and effortlessly I fit into the mould I was given and while I cribbed about the constraints..(hell.! all my friends did)..still somehow it all kinda made sense...
This got the ball rolling..I sought my friend group, chose few friends over the others, preferred fewer friends, went an extra mile to be with somebody for some extra moments, sifted through the fair weather birds and the ones that "stick", chose "perks" over moribund life...The entire charisma of the place just got addictive. The endless movie marathons, the hunt for new episodes of wanted series, the trivial pursuits if downloading and failing miserably, watching certain "friends" , "how i met your mother", "big bang theory", "heroes"..just all in the package..!
The cool weather, the no-pollution environment, the two storeyed buildings, the small town-ness of the place, the people, the endless memories, the unaccountable moments of delirious fits of laughter... the weird,weirder, weirdest things that I've indulged in with few exclusives..unlearning things in its own sweet way..Just about everything..!
All these things and many more unaccountable things had their own magic to my life..they imparted their little but not insignificant charm to it, altered the ideas slightly but not infinitesimally, provided us with perspective in a different but focused sense.All these things had their little parts to play..
After all,life is just like utilizing blocks..it makes no sense individually, but when put together it can add to perhaps one of the most significant buildings for the skyline of a city.
