Watch Out

Imagine the day you venture out without a watch on your wrist. This day can bring about a disaster if you have a schedule to adhere to. But, try it once leaving early to your workplace. Just a fair amount of time when there is no pressing demand or urgency. It relieves your burden on shoulders and you may feel light.

Let us look at a day in which this can be implemented. Such a day can help you rely on a plethora of things that tell time other than a watch. Periodic things like series of buses that come in a order of appearance with one another; a Muezzin's call during parts of the day like 1 PM or 4:30 PM; breaking of dawn as if you are equipped with light meter from the umpires on the cricket ground; sales huddle of some door-to-door salesmen in the vicinity of a park. The things that tell time are many.

What matters the most here is the over dependence of us on watches and other gadgets like mobile phones. Giving up your taste for these and not clinging on to them during some part of the day can be a liberating experience. Try having a piece of this idea. Primitive or modern time --whatever you may call it--being bereft of time can be soothing. Okay, time out!

Favour Mirabilis

People do remember favours. But, it depends on whom you lavish a favour on. A materialistic person may ascribe your generosity to things such as money, attire, job or status as important. This casts a shadow on the love you had showered on him regardless of the type of a favour. I can recall an incident in my life wherein the  person was in need of love. He built some sort of escapist tendencies and sought it in a companion who had a sinister design for him. While the person in whom all the lacking in companionship was sought after appeared a misfit, he was woken from his sleep. Through this incident, one can recall that the right favour needed from anyone in this lacking person's life was love. No money would have satisfied his need for it. Just a timely amount of  love retrofitted could have meant a lot for him. The one who had fulfilled this wish in this person's life could have made a way into his heart and the favour remembered the whole of his life. Such nitty-gri...

A Deepening Chasm

 Old memories are good. But if they bring something of a troubled present, these emotions of yore feel rather unpleasant and one feels like less nostalgic whatsoever. This is a prevalent norm- especially in this social media-stricken world. Everybody seems to have a situation like this wherein some old friend has grown into what they don't want to become a party to. This is true. I tried to renew ties with an old friend of mine who was in a rather different phase of life then, owing to a failed aspect. He was a good and funny person to be with. As it turned out to be, we had drifted for too long and I put a brake on the friendship. The reason was that he had fallen into the trap of a bad company of friends. It is always wise to tread cautiously when some old friend makes way into your life. The key to this caution is that there should be no need to give him your complete credentials; most funnily, your house address. Keep playing with some cards close to your chest and then you wil...
