I Miss.....
I Miss the songs i used to sing in the bathroom, Now it thinking whats gonna come to me on face in office
I Miss the hiss of butter on the tawa, now its the beep of the oven.
I Miss the smell of virgin rain on burnt land, now its the room freshner in office.
I Miss the taste of tap water, now its either kinley or bisleri.
I Miss the sweat trickle down my back in sun, now its shouting at the electrician if the airconditioning goes down a couple of points
I Miss the sea breeze, its now the fan or a/c blow.
I Miss kick starting my bike, now its turning the key and the engine starts.
I Miss poems i used to write, now its mails, mails and more mails and presentations.
I Miss the books i used to read, now its the DVDs.
I Miss sitting on the dining table to have dinner, now its in the hall so that i dont miss a scene
I Miss going on long romantic walks, now its the 'romantic' drive, dont know whether i should hold her hand or the gear shaft or the steering wheel.
I Miss the long hours on Yahoo Messenger, now its a curt phone call.
I Miss the visits to friends houses and eating what their moms prepared, now its a get together where we order from outside so that we are spared of the wives' cooking.
I Miss the endless cups of coffee and mindless chat, now its the walk upto the vending machine and smile (not even say) a hi to someone who passes.
I Miss standing at the train door and stare at earth being whisked away, now its seeing those puffs of clouds from a small hole 30K ft above sea level.
I Miss counting the number of telephone poles from a train door, its just a time to catch up with sleep.
I Miss cricket with friends, now its the cricket on the mobile.
I Miss waiting for the bus to take me to college, now just run down to the car and zoom to office, cos i am invariably late to office everyday.
I Miss playing rummy till we fall asleep, now its freecell or solitaire gaurding from the boss' eyes
I Miss the warmt when she hugs me while driving the bike, now she sits next to me and we discuss investments and future
I Miss the simple little things that was my life., but now its all the big things that are so small compared what it was.

Seems like you have put in words what all of us feel..
MN
Alas travails of domesticated life..:)....Shows month end pressure....good write...and makes me feel so good wid a bachelors life of mine....Thanks buddy...
one more thing the term miss coming so many times....makes me miss some real Ms
MN: I am sure this is a pretty universal feeling
Rishi: Nothing to do with domestication or bachelordom, its just the way life has become mechanised after entering office life.
I have had my share of Ms, so you go ahead and party. :))
How about getting up and doing some of the things that you miss.Might make you feel better.
This post forced an introspection. Now that i think of it, there are quite a few things that i do miss somewhere deep within, but which I have never given a thought to...
:)
Forgot to jot down that it was a truly wonderful read!!
:)
EU : Remember the tag : I am technically and fundamentally a very very lazy person. :))
Velu, thanks and welcome to My Lines.
Reminiscences... I generally miss childhood when life was much simpler then. Now, we seem to always rush. For what?
abaniko : We rush , to survive. Its now a rat race.
Loved this post, might become the inspiration for my next one :)
Casablanca : Thanks :)
