22nd July 2019
So it's 7:31 am on her alarm clock, and a pop up reminder beeps on her iPhone , * Trip to Assam *
1 day to go!
(Smiles)
Revati had booked a ticket for Monday which would be on 23rd July 2019 from New Delhi India to Guwahati departing in the evening at 05:25 pm.
She was all set, packaging done ✓ , volunteering Id-card , Sponsorship papers , Sufficient cash , all her stuff to keep the journey intact.
She gets up and jumped out of the bed with full excitement , she was super delighted, after all it's going to be a 6 day trip to explore a completely new culture , breathing in a whole new atmosphere and exchanging inspiration for her dance and discovering young talents!
She prepared her favorite peanut butter sandwich along with immersion brewed coffee with no sugar.
She is a health conscious colleen. For sure!
She quickly texted her querida Anchal to share her daily update of having her breakfast, they both were constantly in touch with each other since highschool.
"Whhhhaaaaat ! Peanut butter ! Again"
"You're such an obsessed sassy "
She received the reply.
"Oh damnit , yes!"
She replied.
Her tasteless diet was kind of attraction because she looked fit almost in every occasion though the secret was simple , efforts always succeed!
* rustles *
She was checking her mails , and received the list of participants along with their video clips attachment . The list was consisting 67 participants in total. She was going through it, scrolling and scouting.
The day ended on a good note.
Work done.
And she was just about to sleep then abruptly her phone beeped.
continuous 5-6 beeps , she gets up , checks the phone :
* Puzzled *
" Hey, what happened Revati , I love you beyond any limit "
Text 2 " please give me a chance, atleast one chance "
Thread of texts,
" I'll be really good "
" I want to be yours "
" Please , Revati , talk to me "
she sighed.
All her energy was entangled just before her sleep, receiving such texts again from a different number , from the same tricky office guy.
To switch and shift her focus again she just wrote on her journal how things impact her and how much she can tolerate but how long she should tolerate has no answer.
Maybe it seems something very simple , people close to her knows that she was way too strong but she can't help it when it comes to ignorance. She respects people and whatsoever she can't be mean. She could never handle something which should be maintained on the basis of hypocrisy.
She kept her journal aside.
Tried to recollect the teaching of her Dad, who taught her to take it easy! and maintain the poise in chaos through breathing.
She breathes deeply, opens up the brochure of Assam tourism in which it was written in Assamese ,"অসমীয়া
প্ৰেম আৰু জীৱন বাণী "
which means ,"If you want to conquer the anxiety of life, live in the moment, live in the breathe."
The essence of this Assamese message is to "reconnect to what makes you happy and brings you Joy. If there is something that used to make you happy which you have stopped doing, do it again."
She smiled gently and switched off the lights and went to sleep.
Good Night folks.
To be continued...
