Used to...

Thought is a difficult strike in our Mc Donaldized society now. The other day, I looked at the apparel store across Rashbehari Avenue still shut at 9 in the morning, I was slightly surprised. Thats the time, am busy on the phone with someone or the other. Just at 9, when my bus passes that store, an employee brings out a mannequin and puts it outside the glass door.

As usual, I was on the phone but my eyes were looking for the everyday scene its so used to. My conversation on the phone did not stop but my eyes kept nudging my mind. Possibly something's wrong somewhere. In the evening, I dropped into the store and found the store space available for lease.

I came back with a hint of disturbance on my mind. It was then that occurred to me how there were countless things which never penetrate beyond the eyes untill the time it goes a missing. Tick tick 1, fresh flowers of my choice on my table all the time at my desk in my cabin at work. Just because I mentioned to Gada da how I adored them some day when he had planted them in our garden months ago. Infact most of the time , they go unnoticed.

Thereafter, its mom neatly organising my bath robe and towels before I am off to shower. I noticed effort and thought behind it on the dayshe fell ill and could not do it for me. My consistently irritating frenz who forcefully call me up at night and morn ;-) just to irritate me and speak a whole deal of nonsense. Somehow, watever they saystarted making sense to me the day I had a bad time at work and made a wrong decision to stay shut about it and build frustrations within. Obviously I failed to do all that coz my frenz would not leave me untill the time I spoke to them.

Instances kept pouring unto me gradually and since yesterday life seems more organised without taking things for granted. It began with the food habit. Why do I need to have that same breakfast of cornflakes and milk or sandwiches for lunch? So I started with a lamb and cheese salad and a roti-dal lunch. Kicked off office on Monday just to be out on a tour of the city, adda with anebody I would come across and so on.

The brain seems in control now.... quite unlike a couple of days ago ;-)
