EK 332

I stayed home all day today. I was supposed to do some errands for a friend of mine and a few chores of my own but I was just not up to it. The rainy weather was perfect for lazing around and I did just that-lazed around all day and fooled around with my nieces too. I never had the opportunity to do it since I got back a week ago. And I found myself thoroughly enjoying it.

For the first time I got to really feel the new house where I am staying now. I tried to be fully present and aware enough to feel every corner and every part of it and to intently listen to the surroundings as well. I realized that the neighborhood is really so quiet to the point that it can get so lonely and boring at times. I also noticed airplanes that are about to touch down are flying a few hundred feet over the area every so often. But thankfully, the distance is far enough to slightly mute the deafening roar of the engine but not too distant enough for me not to be able to make out the insignia on the aircraft's tail.

I saw a few familiar domestic airplanes and some unfamiliar ones. Then at exactly 15:55 HRS, I saw EK flight 332. Very familiar indeed! I suddenly thought to myself that just a week ago I was in that same flight coming home and in a few days I will be in that flight again flying abroad. Then it hit me that as much as I have enjoyed staying at home today, I really have no business lazing around unless I run and finish all my errands because my days are already numbered. :-)
