Today was a hectic day. Couldn't sleep till 3a, last night. Woke up at 6:30a, struggled to start my scooter, kicked it around 50 times, had to inform my manager that I may be half an hour late, and then called the office boy to give the students some papers to solve, while I traveled in a local conveyance.
But, fortunately, bro woke up, kicked it a couple more times till the scooter finally started and I ended up 10 minutes late, but definitely not 30 :)
Taught from 7:30a - 12p. Looked after a bit of official documents, handed over the cash, my colleague had given me before leaving, and the keys as well. Reached University at 2p, studied a bit (the teaching as well as my syllabus material).
It so happened that I forgot to eat anything today till it was 6.30 p, and I had to leave for home from University. The scooter was cranky again, and no one else was around, they had left together (all of them are guys). It was dark, I was alone and afraid. This scooter needs to be dumped now. Does nothing except drinking petrol.
I dragged it to the main University gate, and tried to restart once more before giving up, which finally worked. Reached home around 30 minutes ago....Its 8p now..... will head off to sleep probably.

Prayer in Solitude
Lord,
Solitude....
sometimes chosen, sometimes not.
But, why did You tie it with me,
when it brings me to naught?
A question I ask,
not in insolence in the least....
You made me a human,
but with SOME instincts of a beast.
And, if beast I had to be,
then why not make me gregarious.
Why make me lonely,
and not jocular and hilarious.
Why did You want me,
to be over sensitive O Lord!
Sure, You DO know that,
sincerity is a both sided sword.
Lord,
give me sincerity,
to take things seriously.
But,
Please.....
give me some space,
to flutter and at times fly free.
Help me see and overcome my fallacies.
Guide my vision, beyond the galaxies.
Make me nothing, but a toll of Your will.
Pull me along, while climbing uphill.
Make me nothing, but to myself and others true.
Lord, help me prove, I'm but a part of You.
Amen!!
