Regained power

Never knew that driving played such an important role in my mundane life.

Working in the business district does not give me the freedom to drive to and fro work. That did not pose as a problem. I thought. So on I went, to commute like the rest of the world.. trains, buses, cabs.. Interaction with other living beings who are complete strangers seemed like an experience which is badly missed. No complaints.

Found a way to drive to work, without the financial burden it supposedly incurred. I thought, oh well, nothing much would have changed I suppose. But once again, I proved myself wrong. Slowly, I begin to realise the sense of power, independence and authority that comes along with driving, and how much I needed and missed it. No need to rely on anything or anyone else.

Admittedly, I was very comfortable with being "chauffeured" around. Stepping into the passenger's seat instead of the driver's.. seems like a dream.... But I guess.... since dreams don't last that long.... I am back.. in the driver's seat... doing my own steering of direction.. on the road... and in my life.
