An old friend is a good mirror :)

Well, they say an old friend is a good mirror. So True .
Few days back a very old friend called me and we talked for an hour so.

And her spirit of inquiry, led her to fire back to back questions on me.
She fired questions of every aspect. Career wise, family wise, Everything related me.
She even asked if my bike was OK, and like did i get it serviced or no.

And then , it was after her call i realized, i knew all the answers. But only when she asked everything,
i saw myself with more clarity.

For almost all her Questions , i had no great answers. I was having hard time every where. Sudden rush of negative thoughts almost hovered me.
Like i had messed up with a close friend of mine. All my close colleagues had left me and i was left alone in office to deal with people whom i never communicated with.
On personal front some health problems, family problems, I had not visited my home town from half a year or so, i had not seen a movie in months,
no shopping from months, And no one could imagine, i hadn't munched on pani puri in so many days :D.

I had a big question to myself, What am i doing?
Am i not bored. Am i a machine. I had forgotten living life my way.

And suddenly i felt the cliche, that, enough is enough.
I knew what i wanted. All i was left with was to peruse them. Some times, Its OK to avoid realistic suffering and live a life of your own.

Some times its OK to take a break.
And yes, Indeed , An old friend is a good mirror.

-Luv
