Friday Night Highway

I was staring at the highway from our balcony-9th floor balcony. Thousands of lights were driving along the way...continuousely, without any break. Thousands of lights with even more lives inside. They were all heading to some destination. For some it's everyday's routne, for some it's a detour from the regular job. Everyone with some different thoughts, different emotion. I couldn't see their faces, I coudn't see them at all. All I could see were the lights. And they were making a beautiful scene of a busy Mumbai road, hiding a loads of human emotions behind them. Emotions, which might be even more colourful than the street.
I knew what that particular moment of leisure was making me feel, is not gonna last long. Soon I will be also a part of that same crowd and just like everyone else I'll sink in my own thoughts ignoring everyone & everything around. I learnt one thing in past few months- when a huge number of people together make a crowd, every individual of the crowd actually become disconnected from it. Each one is just another face to everyone else. No one is bothered about others. No one cares what the other thinks. And yet they all together make a crowd!!! Right now I am one of them---

“Nothing ever happens, nothing happens at all
The needle returns to the start of the song
And we all sing along like before

And we'll all be lonely tonight and lonely tomorrow”
(Del Amitri-Nothing Ever Happens)
