ONE DAY DOWN

Waking up to a new place, new house, new atmosphere felt surreal to me. This was not my first time being totally alone in a new area, but it felt different every time. It was as if I was beginning a whole new life.

I woke up at around 8 am with the bright sunlight piercing through my window and it's curtains. By 8 in the morning people were mostly up and had already begun their day. It was time for me to do the same.

I immediately stood up from the bed, freshened up and made tea for myself. Starting a day without tea is quite a difficult task for me.

The rest of the day went by swiftly with me being busy in cooking and arranging my stuff.

By evening I got dressed and went out to explore the area. It was a beautiful place.There was a park near to my house. I made a mental note to come back everyday and spend some time of my day in the park.

I also did the necessary task of buying vegetables and fruits.

My mother had already bought and prepared the rest of the eatables way back when we had finalized the house. Therefore I didn't have much to do.

When I got back home I indulged in making dinner which I was doing for the first time in my life. I had never tried my hands on cooking. I wish I had learned it earlier but nevertheless it's never too late. I prepared what I thought would be the easiest - rice and fried potatoes.

After finishing my dinner and doing the dishes I plugged on my earphone and started watching a movie - Titanic.

Titanic had been released in the 90's, but I had never watched it until 2016 when I finally decided to give it a try. I must say it was worth watching. I cried buckets while watching the movie.

By the end of the movie, Leonardo di Caprio had already become my favourite actor. And I also couldn't stop gushing about how beautiful Kate was. She was just perfect.

Once the movie got over, I decided to call the night. But sleeping seemed far fetched to me, I couldn't even keep my eyes closed for 5 mins straight.

So I relied upon the ultimate weapon of sleep and that is course books (note- novels never get me bored).

I opened a book to read and soon enough I started feeling sleepy. I kept down the book and tried my hands on sleeping and this time I was successful.

I had very swiftly drifted towards the land of dreams with many dogs, cats and sheep sitting around me, looking at me with their adorable eyes as if trying to converse with me.
