Lost Thought


Chilly wintery evening I left the university campus and boarded the usual route no 85 for home. Lost in my own thoughts about assignments and yes was going to meet Anuja, my school friend, after almost 10 years. Absent mindedly I got off from the bus and realised I had forgotten my book on the bus. I had lost the library book on the bus, and most important i needed it for my next assignment..

Upon friend's suggestion and my own judgement i decided to quickly run to the last stop where the bus terminate, if lucky might find the same bus and the book. Here I was again running across the empty, chilly Eden street to try and find my lost book. Luck eluded me and the same bus already left before I could reach . Next, had to request another bus driver if he could help me in any way. Alas, he did but at a cost -of hakf entertaining and lecturing me. TFL control room immeditely tracked the probable bus and located the book. Next day here I was again on route 85, travelling to Putney garage to get my lost book.

This further continued that week when my laptop crashed. I lost my entire data, pictures, all that I had saved and worked on since last 6 months. This was the biggest loss of all.. because it was not only the laptop, but i had lost lot many things...

Had lost my flexibility, had to depend on uni's laptop for doing assignments, friend's laptop at home to entertain myself, and above all it drived me into lost thoughts all the while, making me helpless and irritated all day long. Thats when I started realising homesick bug has finally bitten me. I get lost in the thoughts of friends, family, work, Mumbai and my loved one.... I miss them all, far away in London.
