Taken for Granted !

This morning as it was pouring, I lay in my comfy bed pushing myself to be an early bird. Before I could think of anything my hands started searching desperately for my 'Jigaar ka tukda'  encompassing  tons of notifications ,few reminders, and some missed calls that glued me to it like an addict who has lost track of time.Apparently, I had no urge to call back to the calls that I had missed considering them as 'Routine calls'.

Monday morning blues: meetings, issues, deadlines, and the chaos of the conference calls kept me engrossed, efficiently, to beat this day.Meanwhile in -between this mayhem I made a conscious reminder to myself of giving a call back. 

And after 6 hours I made the call to my Papa who had called me before around 6 O'clock in the morning, from a garden, because his friends had not kept their promise. So ,when I called him back we conversed about him wanting to talk to me just for fun and to let me know that he still buys the 'Samosa'  while returning back from his work/walk because that was my favourite❤️.

After finishing the call I realised that I have taken the blessings in my life for granted.I have set my routines and rituals according to this tethered competitive world, which is sadly receding my emotions, and growing the distances.Becoming plastic to an extent that relationships are turning merely 'Functional', and then sobbing in the grief of being 'Alone', which I am sure now is happening because of me taking things , taking people, and taking myself for granted. I can't blame anyone for this as I have pushed hard, I have distanced myself, and I have confined myself within the four walls of self-denial. Moreover, and  not to my surprise, whoever has tried to or is trying to pull me has seen me refraining myself from them by hiding in the cluttered clouds of the business of life.

Before I regret more than I already have, and before my act of 'taking things for granted' stales my stability, I need to cajole the inner me to invest in retaining the freshness of my Life, and spicing up my relationships for the benefit of myself and the others 😉.
