Are you on the same page?


Are you feeling sufficiently useless? Do you ogle at the wall clock, waiting for it to strike 12 so that you could guiltlessly ping the two three usual people you'd ping? Has this sudden revelation that 'I was much better off when I was at something' dawned on you too? Do you wake up in the morning thinking ,' how can I waste this day innovatively? Well, bravo. If the questions have had the better of you, I welcome you to the party.

Life has boiled down to the little things. Happiness is no longer in ' getting placed '.( Even though, I won't mind another shot at them.) It's in the tiny things that were otherwise irrelevant. From the anticipation of rajma-chawal in dinner, to the shiver of chocolate chip ice-cream in dessert, anything could make it worth living just one more day. Then there are also the serious things to live for. (h)Our holy parents. (h)Our ambition in life. (h)Our zeal to do reasonably well in life. But as I said, these are the serious things. Not that much fun to talk about. Boring Bhasad, you see. On the other hand, girlfriends are separate institutions. They're commodities to 'die for'. ( Khush?)

'Don't sweat the small stuff, it's always in the small stuff'. No, I'm not taking credit for having penned it. 

So, the little things, Oh, the little things. Stupid little things. Corny little things. Creepy little things. Life is in those sublime underlying moments, the kind you never even thought could bring about a change in your emotional momentum. Subconsciously speaking, these moments are precisely what give you, the kick, the spike in the happiness chart. So, it could be because somebody said that you looked a gram less heavy. It could be , because you know, you'll get to order Domino's in an hour. It could be because , for once in your life, you get to waste another day at your behest, without having had to feel guilty about it. 

Little things, you see.




Just to rub it in.
