My Little Balcony

Everybody has their own hiding places.A place where v go to get away from it all.For me its my little balcony.Its a cute little round balcony 6 floors above the ground.It overlooks a small road.U know, one of those cute back roads in residential areas.The road is lined wid those yellow street lights and it looks great in the night.I wonder y the govn has started installing white street lights in some places,it looks hideousThe view frm the balcony is amazing.U can c buildings from every angle.Some concrete jungle.Its actually not that bad.
My fav part of the day is frm 11-11:30 in the night.I like to call it the 'happy hour'.This is the time which i always spend in the balcony.Everybody is asleep,there is no noise,no disturbance.Time to think n reason.Its amazing how a busy city like Pune turns so quiet in the night.U can c ppl taking their night walks,street vendors heading home.U can hear an occasional utensil fall in a distant house.U can actually hear trucks driving on the nearby highway.In winters u can hear the train whistle!Its almost magical!Time to think some more....so many 'life sucks' s n 'why does this always happen to me?'.So many questions,so little answers.Who wants to kno the answers neways.Half an hour is over.I cud stay in the balcony for the whole night just thinking.But there are pgms to b completed n assignments to submit.Today,for atleast half an hour,i was completely happy.Thats enough to get me thru the next day.
This is one song i love to hear during the happy hour:
The summer days are gone too soon
You shoot the moonAnd miss completely
And now you're left to face the gloom
The empty room that once smelled sweetly
Of all the flowers you plucked if only
You knew the reason
Why you had to each be lonely
Was it just the season?
Now the fall is here again
You can't begin to give inIt's all over
When the snows come rolling through
You're rolling too with some new lover
Will you think of times you've told me
That you knew the reason
Why we had to each be lonely
It was just the season
