Hot Noon

A random conversation carried out with much zeal and enthusiasm sometime around 4 in the afternoon. An afternoon which was both endless and ending.

Marvin - bada lethergic time hai man.
piper - sahi hai man.
piper - yahi theek hai man.
Marvin - but its ending, man.
Marvin - smoke, man?
piper - shit, man...
piper - I just had one, man.
Marvin - tsk tsk, man.
piper - if you want, we can have another, man.
Marvin - but man, i heard there was supposed to be checking, man to man?
Marvin - what the heck, man!
piper - that's tomorrow, lots of time till then man.
piper - especially with these long afternoons, man.
Marvin - come over then, man.
piper - ok, man!
Marvin - yo, man!

On Lethargy

Some-friggin-body said today I am too lazy to even talk. Another enlightened soul tried to warn me about the repercussions of not seeing too much of the world too often. "Bahar ki duniya bhi dekho kaka. Kamre mein hi rehte ho," the wise Oracle spoke. I find it highly disconcerting. I mean I can't go on blabbing like some people (do you get the hint?). Neither do I find bliss in scoring goals. I find pleasure in doing other things. Be it reading, writing, collecting trivia, or just enjoying some good 'ol music. Is it my problem they don't require neither company nor exertion? That being said, I do indulge in the ancient art of bakar, often with remarkable finesse. I do flay my hands around while supposedly playing badminton. And I do enjoy traveling as much as any other person. It all depends on what catches my fancy. Probabilistic predictions seem to hinge on the former options. I have absolutely no say in those matters.

I need my privacy and I am jealous enough to protect it with nasty glares and even nastier retorts. That somehow gives people the wrong ideas. But I seriously don't care. I have been following a dictum for quite some time now. It goes something like this:"You're with yourself all the time; better enjoy the company Fortunately, it has been serving me well.

Some remarkably gol body said about me, "He's is unsocial, shy and quiet... prefers solitude or at most the company of one person to a crowd. He has aptitude for creative work..." I have come to find a lot of truth in that statement. Maybe I am meant to be that way. *sigh*

So people, please be considerate while reaching conclusions the next time. It's not all about saving energy. It's often about preferences. Let's be a little more - uhmm - lethargic. What say, eh?
