I am afraid..afraid of introspecting, afraid of looking back and facing the dreams that I shunned, the dreams that I put to sleep because I chose other things over those dreams..the dreams that I never shared with anyone, because I felt no one would understand..they would look like silly even stupid dreams to others..but they were close to my heart..and I chose to ignore them, just to be a 'normal' guy..

I dont want to be in this position.

I dont know how to avoid getting into this position.

A loo with a view...

I guess the gents toilet (restroom for the more sophisticated) in our office has the best view. No you filthy gross mind, I am talking about the view that you get looking 'outside' the smallish-almost-a-ventilator window.

So, what is this view?Imagine being able to see lots and lots of concrete buildings stretching till the horizon (ya thats not interesting). Now imagine some greenery thrown in here and there (ya.. thats not very interesting either). Now imagine cool blue sky cover with some patches of white clouds on this setting(hmm..). Finally, add an aircraft coming out of these clouds and performing a landing once every 2-3 mins. If you are standing at the right porcelain, you can actually follow the plane till it touches down. And this is what makes the visits to the loo exciting(!!!) as well as relieving(of course) at the same time!!!But as I said, you got be standing at the right bowl.

I am pretty sure that no other place in our office gets such a view. Heck..even our chieftain's cabin windows open up to face adjacent building. The main factor for (only) the gents toilet having this view is the shape of the building. Imagine a non-regular pentagonal site (kooche siteu :D) and a non-regular octagonal building on that (too much of work for brain na?). I dont want to type too much, just properly place the sides of the building such that only one small side of the building is parallel to one small side of the plot. And, yes, the loo that I am talking of is on this side. And all other sides of the site have either road or taller buildings next to them. So, ya, I guess the gents toilet in our office has the best view..except for.. may be the ladies toilet??
