I couldn't sleep that night

I couldn't sleep that night. I know it is just a small trip to Mysuru, not something which was planned. But there is something about that place that always makes me crave more. Doesn't everyone have such a place, a comfort place? It could be an actual place, a person, a thing or anything. Something that brings joy and peace to you when in close proximity. That is what Mysuru is for me.

The entire day I spent daydreaming about how I'd visit the temple, spend time near the palace - even give a visit inside if I want, slow down by the many lakes in the city and retire to the peace of the farm. The thoughts were enough to solicit happiness into me.

*Be careful! Too much happiness isn't good. It is always followed by something bad!* my subconscious had to say something negative when everything seemed to go positive.

*Hey! Don't blame me! I am just warning you!*

"Yeah, right! Warning my foot!"

*Listen! It is proven that gut feelings are correct most times.*

"You are my subconscious, not my gut," I replied. The conversations I have with my subconscious I tell you. If someone was to hear me they would think I've gone mad.

*You are mad! And let me clear this to you. What the gut feels is what I usually tell.*

"Ok, fine baba! You win! Now let me concentrate on this good feeling while it lasts."

*It will last for long. Even though too much happiness is followed by sad/bad news. This time it will all be in your favour.*

I stopped everything for a second. Did my subconscious just tell me something positive? Like an actual good thing? Wow! Something great must have happened somewhere!

*Aye! Enough of the drama! That was your gut feeling talking. Don't go too hyper.*

Ah! There she is! My good old subconscious. Always feisty.

*Thanks for the compliment though. Now get back to whatever you were doing.*

Oh right! I had almost forgotten. I was in the middle of applying for a job. Hope at least this one gives a response. I'm fed up with applying and being ghosted by companies and their HR.

It was time for me to leave but first, my parents had to come home. I couldn't leave Diego alone in the evening, it is not like we haven't left him alone, it is just that I didn't want to.

Once my parents came home, I waited for them to freshen up.

"Change of plan..." As my dad spoke, I cursed my fate for always not letting me enjoy little things in life. I knew he would say I couldn't go and had to stay home.

"You are taking Diego with you! There is some function tomorrow and we won't be home the entire day. Can't leave him alone for one whole day. His walk cannot be compromised. So, he'll tag along." I huffed a sigh of relief when my father finished speaking.
