hmm...she officially declared that I am not able to chill anymore.
Ok...ok...ok..I confess…I can't chill when I stuck on the road in our small office van due to traffic jam everyday for about 4 hours.
I have to mentally prepare for not being able to stretch - I have to mentally prepare for who will be sitting beside me - I have to be 'territorial' about space. I am no longer 25 years old and the bone is just slightly creaky...and I can’t talk non-stop everyday for these 4 hours straight and as well can’t listen to people all over me (it seems though they all keep their distance) for these 4 hours everyday.
I can't chill when on a bus (public transport) no one checks in their luggages and chickens..ducks...ham get lugged onboard alongside super size trunks...and cartons of bricks!
And want me to give them space to sit besides me with all their stuff.
I can't chill when rikhshaw drivers challenge me about where I am going and tell me I should have crossed the road to pick a rikhshaw because of the direction I am going
- NO - I want you to do a U Turn - just drive!!
I can't chill when in a non-smoking restaurant….customers are allowed to smoke because the waiter/waitresses are too scared and not properly trained to manage the situation instead they give me lesson about how to use their crockery.
I can't quite chill when I am not sure where I am going whenever I am driving my mother as she always have a definite plan before leaving home and once we get ourselves inside the car she always seems to forget that PLAN…and poor me forcefully being asked to ‘Don’t ask…too many question….JUST DRIVE’…on a daily basis.
It's not me... ahh…believe me - I am sure it's not me..
hmm- check me…in these conditions…early morning…when people are still in their bed…give me a chair to be seated…a cup of coffee put me in front of sea...
...hmm....and I can show you CHILLLLL...
living and chilling most of the time don't go together; hence remain a challenge THINKING!
ReplyDeleteA good write up as usual.
May I share with you my latest post [Unsustainable Status Quo]?
ReplyDeleteHere's praying and wishing for you many special times in front of the sea or similar quiet and lovely moments.
ReplyDeleteYou can't 'just chill' all the time; nobody can, and if someone is, he/she must be leading a dissipated life. But once in a while you must let your hair down to rejuvenate yourself.
