Liberating, is'nt it?

I've never felt all too liberated in my life... There is always something tying you down, something holding me back. Too many strings attached, you see.

So, today I was out on MG Road. And today being a Sunday, the road is converted into what they like to call a 'Walking Plaza', by blocking all vehicular traffic. So thats a road where you can only walk, and walk all you want.

Its tiring, I agree. But you see, I arribed there after a back wrenching drive on the Scooty over Pune's infamous roads, and had walked almost 2km on naroow and traffic infested bylanes before reaching here. So, naturaly, this was like heaven.

And, in the middle of my walk in the middle of the road, I had this brainwave, just like that! It feels awesomely liberating, to walk in the middle, BANG in the middle, right on the dividing white line, of a usually crowded main street, with not a care in the world, about traffic or anything else.

See, the gaity and colourfulness of the place is infectious, it has this continental charm to it. You jus get mobbed by it. Its a great feeling, even if it is for a moment only...
