A New Day Has Come....

Sometimes you wake up in the morning, and things just feel, (b)right. All the negativity which was there in the mind till last night when you closed your eyes to signal the end of the day, seems to disappear into that unknown land where dreams are originated during sleep, and you look forward to the day ahead. I dont know what makes this morning different from the rest, but I presume this is what people mean when they say "have a bright start to the day."

Its interesting that these days are few and far in between. Most days, we keep cursing everything from classes to job, for waking us early in the morn. What we don't realize is that the sunshine we blame for burning us too glaringly during the day is actually pleasant in the morning. The traffic light which continues its functions unperturbed in spite of our disgusted looks when our bus just misses the green signal to stop at the red, actually looks beautiful as its colors undergo transition from green to red via yellow. Its funny how you happen to get the perfect place at the station to enter the MRT, while other days getting to the train is equivalent to a 100m dash with human hurdles, often ending with a crushed shirt and breathlessness.

To put this in context for the technically adept, this is the morning when your iPod gets in the most amazing songs on its shuffle list without the help of GENIUS.

Things which seem petty and merge into the background on other days stand out and show their worth during these days. People walking on the road seem more cheerful and content, and there is an inherent feeling of wishing each of them a loud and cheerful "Good Morning!" Or maybe its just your perception which changes for the better during such a morning.

The following lines from a song which is playing in my iPod at the moment seem apt for this kind of day:

"Sab kuch alag hai, sab kuch naya hai....Kuch toh hua hai, kuch ho gaya hai....

Rang chamkile saare lagte hain....raah mein bikhre taare lagte hain...phool ab zyaada pyaare lagte hain.."

(and for those wondering, I am not talking about a morning after Sachin Tendulkar has won India another game the previous night, although that too would have a similar effect on the people of India in general!)
