It is mid day and I look out through the window of my lab located on the 8th floor of a high rise building... It is a warm n sunny day... People walking leisurely to grab lunch from the eatouts nearby, almost no traffic on the roads... The serenity only gets more as I look farther away... Mountainous terrain with grasslands marked by a few trails... the fitness freaks trying to tame them under the mid-day sun... no more buildings or people as I see farther... just a few pylons standing tall and nothing else but the mountains hidden behind haze... Clear blue sky and some scattered vegetation give the much needed contrast to the otherwise featureless panaroma...
As I get lost in it, I am brought back to the other side by the ring of my phone... I turn to see people... people swarming around to fix issues on a project... Racks of computers, wires running around all over the place... workbenches that are sensitive to electrostatic discharge marked by caution tapes... It all looks like a maze...
The chasm between the two worlds appears deep... Where do I belong? I do not have an answer... And from one side, the other always looks more appealing...
That was a call for lunch... My turn to take a relaxed walk to grab food...

Two things Hari.
1) I dont like the use of mobile lingo. 'n' instead of 'and' etc. But its your call.
2) "The serenity only gets more as I look farther away" . THere is something wrong with this line. I don't know what.
And you are right about each side looking better than the other. THe guy who said the grass is greener sure deserves a Nobel.
Looks like ..you are getting philosophical...
