Unexpected Shifts & Unwavering Care
Today began as any other day waking up early, having a hearty meal, an hour of meditation and morning walk to the campus. Reaching the building I pushed opened the double glass door of the main building, the chilly morning swept in with a 'whoosh'. Reaching the stairs I quickly headed to the first floor, reaching the allotted room I slid open the door. The lecture hall was empty, looking at the time and the schedule I was pretty sure I was at the right place at the right time but the absence of the lingering students told me that something was amiss.

Pillow-Comforts & Dinner Suprises
Just relaxing amid the fluffy pillows with a book in hand, the cool, crisp air was flowing in through the open window, causing me to feel a chill. Putting the book down, I got up, padding on the marble floor with naked feet resulting in a chill travelling across my spine. Closing the windows, I pushed forward the curtains. Skipping back to the comfort of the pillows, I popped in and returned to my reading. Tossing and turning, I was able to complete my topic for study, which was definitely not pleasant anymore. I lost my comfortable position in the pillows when I got up to close the windows, and now no matter how much I turn and toss, I wasn't able to get it back, but thankfully I was done studying for today.

Victory In Crosswords & A Caffeine Induced Boost
I was standing on my front porch, waiting in anticipation and looking at the time on my wristwatch. The long minute needle was coming closer and closer to its destination with every tick and tock. On the white display, the golden hands told me it was 6:25 am. Five minutes more and it would be here. I couldn't stand still and was hoping from one foot to another. The time was really moving slowly, and the chirping of the birds nearby made it seem as if they were teasing me. Pacing in front of my porch, I was pretty sure I made a funny picture for nature's amusement. Finally, from the corner of my eye, I saw someone enter my field of vision. Looking at the time, it was exactly 6:30 am.

The Jolly Old Man
I rushed to the cafe my long hair hitting me in the face lightly but annoyingly. Greeting the lunch lady who was a sweet old lady, I asked for the freshly prepared chicken baguette sandwich and a fruit bowl - can't forget the fruits. Engaged in a small talk with the granny I watched her prepare the sandwich.

A Cycle Ride to The Rescue
As the golden orb of daylight began its languid descent, and the ethereal symphony of colors painted the heavens with strokes of burnt orange, rose pink, and whispers of lilac. The air carried a gentle breeze, laden with the wistful scent of distant meadows and the promise of a tranquil twilight.

Cookie Delight Break
Sitting on the warm rug surrounded by books is me, having a little self-study session. I have long a go realised as you climb higher on the education ladder the independent work load increases, the homework and the teacher's pressure decreases. I think I prefer it this way, I am able to study and retain much more with light pressure than the overwhelming pressure experienced during high school years. But where there are benefits there are also some drawbacks like uptill high school years we were confined to study from some specific books and that's all but now there is no such specific books it is a wide open study you are given a topic and you have to make your own notes going through several books, this process does consume a lot of time but once done you have a way better understanding on the topic, atleast I do.
