I started this post yesterday but could not finish it and publish it. Just got around completing it now<\/em><\/p>\n

It is a cold, dull day and I am struck indoors. It is the kind of day that brings no cheer. I sit by the window, looking out without actually looking. Well there isn’t much to look out. It feels as if the world has stopped moving. The green recycle bins stare back, the leafless trees look sad and not a soul is on the road. It is as if everyone decided to stay indoors on this not-so nice day and take a break. I cannot even hear the strains of traffic. It feels odd. The ever-active Medical Center is silent, the construction cranes are not moving. It is bleak and definitely not my idea of a good day.<\/p>\n

My mind is miles away. Infact I really do not know what I am thinking about. I think about random stuff but nothing concrete. Just drifting thoughts, things that need to be done, groceries to be brought, and such mundane stuff. It is the kind of day when words and thoughts refuse to flow. It is the kind of day meant to be spent doing nothing and my mood matches.<\/p>\n

I need to think about the things I need to do today, the decisions I need to make, the roads I need take, the choices I need to make but my mind refuses to think in that direction. I have miles to go but the day refuses to let me do it. Well I can always blame it on the weather gods and the day right?<\/p>\n

Suddenly something catches my eye – the red and blue Southwest airlines flight over the Texas Medical Center. On sunless cloudy day the red and blue stand out and catch my eye. Right above the towering Medical Center buildings, this winged creature takes its flight. It is a still day and the aeroplane moving makes a dramatic statement. Atleast to me it does. It captures my attention, it fascinates me. I look at it. I laugh at myself. How many times have you seen an aeroplane V? I ask myself. But today is different, the voice inside me tells. The sight of the plane sets me free. Free from what you ask? I have no idea. Maybe free from my own thoughts. It sets me free. It makes me want to fly.<\/p>\n

Fly towards the unknown. It makes me wish to spread my wings and soar. It fills me with hope and cheer – just want I wanted on a gloomy. Now I am ready for the day and for morrow. Bring it on!<\/p>\n

Fly away from here
\nAerosmith<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Gotta find a way
\nYeah, I can’t wait another day
\nAnd nothin’ gonna change
\nIf we stay around here
\nGotta do what it takes
\nCause it’s all in our hands
\nWe all make mistakes, yeah
\nBut it’s never to late to start again
\nTake another breath
\nAnd say another prayer<\/p>\n

Then fly away from here
\nAnywhere
\nYeah, I don’t care
\nWe’ll just fly away from here
\nOur hopes and dreams are out there somewhere
\nWon’t let time pass us by
\nWe’ll just fly<\/p>\n

If this life
\nIsn’t hard enough
\nIt ain’t no nevermind
\nYou got me by your side
\nAnd anytime you want
\nYeah, we can catch a train and find a better place
\nYeah, cause we won’t have nothin’ or no one keep gettin’ us down
\nMaybe you and I
\nCould pack our bags and hit the sky<\/p>\n

Then fly away from here
\nAnywhere
\nYeah, I don’t care
\nWe’ll just fly away from here
\nOur hopes and dreams are out there somewhere
\nWon’t let time pass us by
\nWe’ll just fly<\/p>\n

Didn’t you see your blue sky now
\nYou could have a better ride now
\nOpen your eyes
\nCause no one here can better or stop us
\nThey can try but we won’t let them
\nNo way<\/p>\n

Maybe you and I
\nCould pack our bags and say goodbye<\/p>\n

Then fly away from here
\nAnywhere
\nHoney, I don’t care
\nWe’ll just fly away from here
\nOur hope and dreams are out there somewhere
\nFly away from here
\nYeah, anywhere
\nHoney, I don’t, I don’t, I don’t care<\/p>\n

We’ll just fly away<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
