Dear Diary,
Today is Krishna Janamashtmi. I was at home all the day and
was remembering the occasion of last year. I
want to tell you about it.
Last year, I was in Chandigarh and I had my office that day.
I got up early in the morning, got fresh and with my roommate went to the nearby
Isckon temple. We left the PG at 7:15am and reached there at 7:30am. The temple
was closed for the devotees at that time and priests were preparing for the
day. We had a little walk in the nearby area till 8am. After that we entered
the temple, no devotee was present there till that time. We sat in the middle
area and started noticing the priests decorating the temple. At 8:30am, the Morning
Prayer got started. Till that time a number of devotees gathered in the temple.
It was the first time when I was attending the Morning Prayer of Isckon temple.
They did it very well; with lots of enthusiasm. I enjoyed it a lot. After that
we went back to our PG, got ready and went to our respective offices. But that
wonderful start of the day was still in the mind.
When I reach my Office, I found that there is not much work
assigned to me. It relieved me a little but my empty stomach was creating panic
for me. I had a fast and so I had nothing since morning. I went to the Office
Cafeteria but found nothing for me. There was a guy in my Office whom I met
just few days back and we exchanged our Skype Id’s. I was chatting with him and
I came to know that he had a throat infection. He was hungry too. We decided to
go downstairs. It was the first time when I went out with him. We met in the
Reception area and moved ahead. We went to the Food Court in search of
something I could eat in my fast but found nothing. Then we went out and had a
glass of fresh juice each. I still don’t know why I went with him. I barely
knew him till that time. But that first time resulted into daily meeting either
in the Cafeteria or downstairs. Soon, we became very good friends.
Today when I was remembering that day, I was tearful. Those
were really nice days. My roommates supported me a lot; I spent a very nice
time with them. Even for that day, memories of Isckon temple are lovely. I love
them a lot; they made my 3 years memorable. But today when I remember that day,
I regret being with that guy as our friendship didn’t even last for a year. We
are no more friends. I know I committed few mistakes but I also apologized for
it. But I really don’t know what has made us this much apart. He never said a
word about it.
But to end up with good notes, I am really thankful to God
for my lovely roommates. I am still in touch with them. I miss them a lot and I
want to be with them always. Love you sweethearts <3
With Love
Priya
