Everyone stopped talking, all of a sudden and turned to me with a glint in everyone's eyes. By all, I refer to my parents and sister! After a lot of discussion at home, everyone came to a unanimous decision of sending me to bangalore, for my PS-II, all alone. That was a terrifying decision, but I had no other way! I booked my tickets to Bangalore and waited for the day of journey to come. Finally the day came and I stepped into the train, met few friends on the way and in the train. The train to Bangalore started with a whistling sound and a thick smoke. The train was moving forward and away from my parents, sister and friends. I felt left out and all alone in the crowd, but the scene of luxury hotel suite, provided by company flashed before my eyes which out did my emotions.
Finally after a journey of 12hrs, the train reached Bangalore city junction, and I got a coolie to carry my luggage to the nearest prepaid taxi stand. Boarded into the auto and was dreaming about the suite. The hotel stood plumb in front of me when I heard the driver say, “Here is your hotel!”
I got down from the taxi and started walking towards the reception after paying the auto bill. The receptionist recognized me as a person who spoke to her regarding the confirmation about the suite last night and greeted me with a warm smile. Finally a helper boy took my luggage and guided me to the suite. He opened the door and it was there, awesome, beautiful and marvelous. I was spell bound until I got a call from my mom. The room was a perfect luxury suite enough spacious for 2 people, with a large mirror, a study table, a chair and a table in the corner with an ash-tray on it, a TV and an AC and many more.
The room was a real luxury room and there were 24hrs servants just at a phone call distance.
I was not alone in this room; my loneliness accompanied me all along and followed me where ever I went. I was missing my parents, sister and friends very badly. But I was helpless and it the way life throws obstacles at you. I have to face them and stand confidently or cross them with energy or confront them with bravery or just avoid them
I shifted from the company’s accommodation to my own accommodation which is nearer to my company comparatively. There added one more thing to my list of things to miss, the luxury suite! I always missed only the living beings till now but for the first time I started missing non living things too: the luxury!
Man gets accustomed to the luxuries and shares a strong bond with them and when separated, feels lonely and doubts his existence as a human itself. One should not get accustomed to luxuries though they have them at their finger tips or at an arms distance.
Man should always have his emotions and feelings under his control rather than emotions controlling him!!!
