Indira

There are some places which makes such sharp impression on you, that you end up feeling, you had never left the place after all...


As I shivered through the road with my bag, and huffed in the early morning mist, I reached, what I would call one of my 'favorite turns'. I am slightly disoriented when it comes to places, contradicting my love for traveling to different places! And this turn has been one of the toughest one for me. The temple just close to the turn is my landmark.
I leave the early morning traffic behind me and take the turn.
Like always, I have the 'happy' feeling inside me. There is M S Subhalakshmi singing Suprabatham in the background and as I look at the lane ahead, I can see a long road with a lot of turns that cuts it in between. Everything is suddenly quiet, as if I have entered into a sleepy little town, that was mostly a part of my imagination than the reality in front of me. I can clearly hear the broom being used somewhere in the next lane, and dogs walking too actively for their owners.
As I walk past this, through the trees that is sparsely stretched across the road, the morning sunlight fall on to the road of dried leaves...

And I enter S B I Staff Colony
