Sometimes I wonder why I like to take a long shower so much. It's certainly not because I want to be squeaky clean. Just clean enough to move around in civilised circles is enough for me. It's also not because I feel good under the shower. Although the latter may be partly true, I start feeling uncomfortable after a few minutes.
Why then do I still spend so much time under that high pressure jet of water? Perhaps it's because it gives me the chance to be truly alone, to think quietly without any fear of disturbance, to ponder over what may have been. Or maybe it's because I still cant get her image out of my head - first wet JLT, her hair falling over her face in a cute manner, her enthusiasm to dance not waning with the increasing intensity of the water cascading over the dance floor, the cute way in which she scrunches up her face when asked if she wants a drink, the tinkling sound she makes when she laughs. Maybe it's because I know that it's not possible, not just because of my lack of self-confidence, but also because of the knowledge that we want different things and that too in different places. Perhaps its for the best that I couldn't whip out my trusty Canon today because of the rain and capture her ecstasy for eternity. Maybe I enjoy the long shower because my lachrymal glands are given free rein with none the wiser, sometimes not even me!
Maybe I like it because the shower doesn't judge me...it lets me be just...me!!!

@ My Batchmate: Truer words were never said before!!!

@ Abhay: Yeah, it was the best we have had so far on campus. And thanks to u guys for helping make it a success.
As someone above said , you write in a very visual manner . It makes for a pleasant and a sort of nostalgic read :). Keep it up!
@ Mutterer: Thanks...this is the style of writing I love best.
It would be better if u can write on better and bigger things.... at least u wud contribute to ur committees productivity...
@ Anon: I will admit that u may actually have a point there! But in my defence, this is MY blog, not my committee's and hence, I can post watever crap I want to put up...that it is mostly sighing and cribbing is a fact, albeit an unfortunate one for a few! That said, I will take ur suggestion into consideration! :)
