Missing Day...

I went out in the midnight thinking of the past few months that I have soent outside the comfort of home...

2 new places, of 2 different extremes...The U.S...a place which I liked more than I thought I would...for its sense of space...for its Starbucks...for the greenery...for the dream B-schools of mine...!!!...n many other reasons to hate it...like its lack of transport...

Then came in Singapore...Hated it right from day one...for its cramped nature, for people who donot know how to live life and majority of their time goes with WORK...!!!

With the rain drizzling and water droplets patting me on my scalp, I looked up to feel them on my face...And there it was...twinkling in the sky...like a star..transporting people across land masses and unfathomable oceans...an aeroplane...

Time had come and I had to walk back home...went for a warm shower and I was thinking of the good few months stay in the U.S...the indorr tennis sessions...the early morning cricket matches on the TV...the cold breeze against my face...still cannot forget the way when my little cousin wanted to come to Singapore with me...and suddenly...the sound of another aeroplane...Have never heard them back to back in such a short span since the time I landed here...

Time was telling me something...I wanted to figure out what it was. Finished my shower with this thought in my mind...I wanted to know it...and i checked out the time on my laptop screen...then something struck me...Aeroplane...when was the last time I was in it??

October 21, 2006...the night which basically turned my life around...I thought a lot about it when I was interviewed for Citigroup in August and I had to say an Yes for this one question.."If I was ready to travel from US to Singapore if required?"...going to 2 different countries in the expense of my company and being paid for it on top...It was like Ben'NJerrys chocolate icecrem being given to you witha 50$ bill...;))

But...this night I thought of this in a different way...I did agree to go from US to Singapore for the project..but did I give them the right to take away one day from my whole life..??..!!!

Yes..I lost one whole day...(That too a weekend..;))..)..wondering how...Well..here it goes...

Boarded a flight on the 21 Oct night @ 10:00...Flew to Stockholm where it was 21 Oct evening...then flew all the way KL where it was 5 in the morning...of 23rd October when I landed...though my entire flight including the Stockholm pitstop was for 20 hours...:-?...!@#$%^&*()...

Where the heck did 22 October, 2006 go...agree to it or not..I have lived one day less than you have in the stage of LIFE...!!!
