The Day before tomorrow

That day of my life usually makes me feel some sort of longing. It makes me feel like that every year. One day when I cross all the mental barriers and wholeheartedly think about people who were at some point in my life ..important to me. I wonder where they are and will they by chance, mistake, coincidence, telepathy, luck, misfortune, reasonless think about me that day. I mean at least that day I let myself be a little like me.

Now, I have changed. I don’t know when that happened. Or maybe I know it.. some sort of liberation, some sort of happiness, some long lost key I discovered. I think I am in love.. :) with nothing in particular. I don’t know, I just am in love with life. I feel as free as freedom. Nothing holds me to the ground for too long. The waves, rash sometimes, enormous, spraying waves sweep me of my feet.. I lose myself in the surf of life.

So, for tomorrow, I went shopping yesterday. I have never done it ..not for a long time. I mean okay, I have gone shopping million times other times. But, never specifically for that day. Not since.. Can’t quite remember the year. I used to particularly feel irritated about all the fuss.

Aai-Baba wanted to buy something for me. We went to Westside hence. A friend told me they are selling stuff for discounted prices. I always end up liking stuff that is for some reason not discounted. We reached, we saw, we fell in love and now I got a new dress for tomorrow. Do you believe in love at first sight.. I do..:) the dress makes me feel beautiful..

And, it’s pink.. Not the typical baby pink. Some darker shade of pink. I am not up to the mark when it comes to identifying and calling colors by their correct names. But, it’s a shade of pink. I didn’t consciously look for pink. The dress sort of chose me. Aai picked it up. It’s a traditional silk salwar-khameej suit. Jazzy. I wanted to get rid of pastel for a day. There are days when I feel green, yellow, and red too.

I am quintessential when it comes to color pink!
