This and that

In that moment...
my butt was numb, my neck was sore, my back virtually broken.
my head was reeling with profanity.
it took utmost constraint to keep from voicing my opinion.
I slept like a baby... with colic.
I learnt about people teamwork and compromise.
priorities were reconsidered and reorganised.
gossip and food was shared.
we had finally arrived.
And in that moment I was happy.

In this moment...
the dogs bark and crows... crow.
I am capricious and indulged.
there is laughter, conversation and memories.
senses are hightened and the brain is dead.
Insomnia confronts exhaustion.
Punjab resonates in the four walls that are my room.
a chill runs down my spine. Goosebumps.
And in this moment I am happy.

Glad you are back home, though I am sure complaints will ring out soon ;-p

I liked the way you capture the feeling. The same stuff might be available anywhere (dogs, crows, etc.) you go but the feeling is different. Well put! :-)

Punjab is a reference to the song by Karunesh, if you haven't heard it do try, very soothing.
And all of you are too kind. Honestly i didn't really like it, didn't quite come out as i had expected... but now i feel alot better :)
Also thank you for the welcome back.

Very nicely written! I assume "In that moment..." is about the journey home.. I was just nodding my head all the time reading it. It's great to travel!

Well i didnt really go to hyderabad at all since we took a bust went straight to the conference venue and back which was very upsetting.:(
And i loved the trip/conference just the 20+ hour bus journeys sucked.
