The week started well,

Delhi’s pollution wasn’t the only thing I could smell.

Monday was slow,

took in the sights, was feeling a bit mellow.

The excitement was palpable though,

there were a few results I’d been waiting for.

The calendar was slightly free,

a coffee, some dinner and a trip in Delhi’s Metro melee.

Meeting friends is always nice,

A mirror of your younger days, each day was a throw of the dice.

Tuesday finally dawned bright & sunny,

Even Delhi was trying to keep us back, looking cute like a bunny.

I should probably learn how to rhyme better,

and then continue this poem pitter-patter. (I’m hopeless)

The evening was spent well, at the airport,

T1 looked weirdly small, and I was at the receiving end of angry retorts.

Wednesday was spent getting to know rainy Bengaluru,

finally, back home (new home), chalo ab ho jaayein shuru?

Getting back into a routine is always a bit of a bother,

with the weather so nice, what would you do, rather?

I decided to take it slow, learning & reading as I wanted to,

the universe had other plans, gave me a slight bashing or two.

It took me a bit of time to recover from some ‘different’ news,

you expect and hope but life’s plans will keep you amused.

A birthday was well celebrated, with the love of family,

and new goals were formed, during a McDonald’s matinee.

Thursday was long and sweet, without much excitement,

I got back to my runs, which was mostly Nike’s endearment.

I love going on car drives with my brother & mom a lot,

we don’t get many chances to, but I’m happy it happens more often than naught.

Finally it was Friday, a day for reset and some hits of dopamine,

a run, a bicycle ride and the gym created a super-positive (internal) scene.

The week was lovely, as lovely as can be,

I was vulnerable throughout, about a future I’m still unable to see.

When things go a bit awry, it’s always better to find discipline,

a routine to fall back on creates a quiet core, rising above the mindless din.

So as we step into Sunday, there’s not a lot to think about,

I’m happy I continue to focus on my tasks at hand, rising above my restlessness and doubt.

Cheers!

Ah, that felt nice. :D
