One gets used to routines after 10 years of working .
You get comfort in little rituals , eg. Smoke with friends in the afternoon, Driving in a set route to home ,Con-calls , etc.
What happens when all this changes in an instant ?
The first few days where spent by me with a sense of elation and apprehension. Elation because i felt free to dream . Apprehension because next few years are not going to be like the last few years .
Time which used to fly, started slowing down. I started wondering how to consume each hour . Then came revelation "don't attempt to consume time" . Instead start doing all those things which u wanted to do but used to postpone with valid ( mostly bullshit ) excuses.
Things is I started doing
- Go for a walk in the afternoon to cubbon park
- Play with Kids
- Attempt to teach Kids
- Go for a walk in Bangalore and start observing buildings and people
- Bought a DSR ( canon 500d) and started learning Photography
- Took a basics of French class
- Took a class in Stock market investing
- Joined a Club
- Re Started meeting friends and family
- Travelled to China and was amazed at what i saw , may be i was blind the last half a dozen times i went there .
Slowly this elephant awoke from its slumber started dancing . In the process realized that things that i thought where not important in Life have become very important and vice versa.
Now I wonder, how did i live that life ?
