Freedom

I had my fill with the numerous pints of beer and succulent kebabs. I wanted to get up, give a loud belch and get into the warmth of my bed and the quilt. I was jolted out of my planning reverie by a loud cacophony of my cell phone's ring tone. I looked at the screen and let it ring. I could absolutely see the irritated face of the caller on the other side. That was the intent. It rang again three times without any success and then went quiet, never to enter the technical world of my mobility. I am sure, we can devise more ways of deflating ego's. I had achieved my purpose with at least one person.

Why do we give our numbers to those who we dont want to hear from ever? Why is it that people only want to say hi during festivals and new year? Do we really believe in what Einstein once said, 'We are only separated in time and distance'? These are some of the perennial questions that I have not been able to answer although I must confess that I have not spent much time on trying to figure out the answers too..

Many moons ago, I had a friend who very wisely once said, 'DON'T WORRY ABOUT THE WORLD COMING TO AN END, ITS ALREADY TOMORROW IN AUSTRALIA'.. His words have remained with me since.. I live my life now without really being bothered who thinks what about me.. Suddenly I feel a great sense of freedom..
