Little joys of the weekend

1. Swinging to and fro in a metal swing in the early hours of the morning, when even the sun is not of his slumber while tossing and turning ideas in your head searching so desperately for the right words to express a thought that is all over your head and finally find it - rush into a room and say it to two expectant souls who finally smile and say it's perfect.
2. Watch a brilliant actor give life to your words, that took you 8 sleepless nights to write, as he creates subtleties and nuances to lines where even you didn't spot them.
3. Feel that sensation of the fatigue of the whole fortnight dawn on you that very second when you know you are done with something, and know that you have done it well - a feeling so sorely missed since days of BITS. A feeling so sorely missed that you actually celebrated by sleeping for 18 hours during the weekend and during breaks and journeys and during conversations :)
4. Spending an evening with someone - without an agenda, plan or purpose, never wondering when it will end and yet at the end of it - feel so good about the whole thing.
   
5. Having dinner at a home - not a house, but a home - and have someone smile sweetly, serving you more and more of delicious food and lovingly chide you for not taking care of yourself.
   
6. Walking on the road just minutes before it is going to rain, when a breeze that caresses your hair turns into a howling wind, spewing dust in all corners, turning trees into mad dogs that sway and spit twigs and branches into the road - all this while you stare at the corridor watching sand move like smoked-out ants on a frenzy and save your eyes from the chaos that is all around, yet feeling kicked and ALIVE!

... and counting. ....
