One Square foot of Sky

Its 3.00 in the evening, i am in office early and my team mates havnt come in yet - i happen to look out of my cubicle - n surprise! I can c a wee bit of the open sky from where i sit - y hvnt i noticed it b4? The cleaning guy probably forgot to pull down the blinds.
Well - how it got to b tht way is not wht i wanna talk abt. What really surprises me is the effect of this small change in my daily routine - i feel like ive experienced something so radically different, so refreshingly beautiful, something terribly personal and touching - it has infused LIFE into my normally insipid work day.
I see a bird fly outside and my thoughts soar high with it - i have started my work but keep glancing out every few seconds and my work seems to get done by itself, without me having to WORK on it!
I see dark clouds and the tips of tress swaying in the wind and I think of all the pleasant evenings by the beach at Pondicherry and my work finishes itself much ahead of schedule...
Its only 5.30 in the evening n im already done for the day. What a relief!
My team mates have started coming in and i hurriedly pull down the blinds. Dont want them to compete for MY square foot of the Sky. Dont want to share !
its MINE, i discovered the sky and I plan to keep it tht way! ;-)

Now i exactly know what you are doing at your work. I see the same sky and wonder why i pay you for watching this....
