just imagine

note: this post has nothin 2 do wit Barney.

i am just sitting on my comfy chair, unaware of wots happenin arnd me.
smiling n chattin endlessly wit my childhood frnd, who's currently earning her degree across the globe.
few minutes n i get bored.
after skimmin thru my playlist, i play my favorite song n set the player to full volume.
aah, the magic of music.
somthing flashes from the corner of my desktop.
it is a new email. the sender address catches my attention. it says,'university of bristol'
adrenaline does its thing.
n i am as nervous as a chicken on death bed.
'ur application has been accepted' ...it reads.
a wave of exhileration passes thru me.
hands shakin, i reach for my cell fone n dial my mother back in her island.
a few happy tears exchange.
i giv her my lov n hurry to sms all my friends.
i hav this urge to celebrate. so i dial those 7 digits n soon, i am gobblin up a scrumptious pizza.
it is a nice feeeling. n i am happy. very happy.

i take som tym for myself n start dreamin abt livin my dream.

wen without any warnin, the electricity goes off.
n my dreams abt my future halts.

i am forced to travel bak in tym -- wayy back in tym.
back to my great grandfathers youth.
a life so different. so difficult.
evry little thing must hav been a struggle.
n still they made it thru n they made us proud.

10nx to them tht today, the world lies in our hands, n yet, v r always lookin 4 n excuse 2 prove tht lyf sucks.

it scares u wen u realize oneday tht, v r al gona die without leavin bak nothin but a worn out pair of socks 4 our grandchildren.
n it scares u more wen u know that they r gona end up worse.
