A day in the life of LIFE

Today was one of those very rare "peaceful days" at IIM. After a hectic week of inducting the juniors into the community and culture, this was our first off day and I decided to make the most of it. Incidentally, I have assumed the role of a yoga facilitator on campus and my popularity has reached unprecedented levels considering the membership count. There was one junior yesterday and today there were two. A 100% increase is indeed something to cheer about. This experience, am sure will strengthen my candidature for employment at the Baba Ramdev centre for yoga considering that recession and its ugly face will take some time to get away from the campus scene.

The weather this evening was perfect for a stroll arnd the campus. The twilight was just enough to illuminate the path taken for the quick walk and even as the terrain turned out to be a natural roller coaster, the winding paths opened out into some picturesque landscape which provided the much needed respite from the limited (yet beautiful) expanse of the campus.

A few kids passed by, content with passing a soccer ball between them as they rolled with it, down the road. The serenity of the path in itself was so comforting that it presented a natural setting for introspection. The contentment on the face of the kids was so addictive that it rubbed off on me as well.

As the walk evolved, and the twilight transitioned into darkness and prompted me to retrace the steps back to the comfy environs of the campus. A comforting chat with one of the Profs. leaving the acad block for the day, a Burger and garam chai at the mess, and of course the current playlist on my lappie that has Asha Bhonsle on the vocals of "Ranjish Hi Sahi" - all this has made this a perfect ending to a great evening.

Current Mood : Contented.
P.S. : Thanks to SG for accompanying me on the walk..
