We spend our lives looking out for "special moments"...trying to be alert to such moments so that our life "becomes worth living"/"happy"/"special"...
"Special moments" make us think our life is worth the grime and effort that we are putting in to survive everyday...
...the moment when you sit for the interview...the moment when you get in that coveted Institute...the moment when you first step through the black gates...the moment when you first smell the fresh air of that place...
...the moment of the sweet coincidence...your first 'hi'...that first long conversation..that first walk and deliberation...the first class...the first exam...the moment of your first success...the moment of your first struggle...
...the moment of your coming back for the first holidays...the first moment at home after so many days...the moment of that first bite of Mom's food after 3 months...the moment of remembering your new friends...
...the moment of excitement and sadness of leaving home again...the moment when you told yourself that this is a regular thing now...the moment when you took your first drag...the moment when your friend funneled the first sip into your mouth...
...the moment of your first walk...the moment when you realized you both were alone...the moment when your hands brushed against each other other...the moment when you held each other...the endlessness of that moment when you thought let this be the last moment of your life...
...the moment when you first felt the anxiety of separation...the moment when you first realized that you have to go from here...the moment when you realized that your room is no longer yours...the moment when the rear wheel of your auto-rickshaw crossed the main gate for the last time...
...the moment when you first entered office...the moment when you first felt responsible for an outcome...the moment of your first learning...the moment of 'growing up' once again...
...Moments...why are they so special?
