it's a note

It's a note to myself. When you're sad, Don't click on send.
Everything gets better. You get stronger. And the universe says ...take it easy.
Do that. Breathe. Laugh when you can. Make someone feel good. Run.

This is what I wrote Dec 6, 2020. 

oi

I'm doing sane things and insane things courtesy Covid. 

Sane things

Washing hands

Staying off people 

Telling people to stay off people

Keeping lungs well fed

Listening to gyan

Ignoring gyan

Giving gyan

Sunbathing

Keeping hands off face... Could you do that? It's unbelievable how much we touch our face.. and I'd thought that was the eaiest one yet!

Ok...Not so much sane things (till I'm vindicated anyway)

Buying CuSO4 because the ringworm doesn't like copper and because I think my brain still remembers chemistry

We shall see my peeps. We shall see. You laughing? I give you OTS. Wait wait..

Gyan hi gyan

You live with what you know

You love with what you don't

Nice nah? One sublime thought a day... in an apocalyptic combo of isolation and analysis. Gyan hi gyan

So this life..I tried haiku..it's kind of fun. 5-7-5 syllables, a reference to nature, a juxtaposition of quirky opposites. Here's one of mine

Laces wind up loose

Dripping breaths to plunder chests

Break your forest run

Just because
You are my song

Wise words from a movie. Keep the ones who love you as close to you and for as long as you can

What do you do when you wake up with a song in your head? You play it don't you... first thing in the morning. Don't even try to reason. This timewarp where you sit and listen to a voice from way past defining your today. Right across the breakfast table, is your now. The only promise you get to keep. The real thing.

Whatsappeople

Addicted to Whatsappeople.....
 Ever had this thing happen to you when you're chatting on Whatsapp and you want to send a hug? Not possible. There's some bracket business but that just doesn't cut it. And if you want to kiss, you can't do it without winking. But if you live in a farm, you get to emoticon the residents. In different colors. And buildings...don't get me started. Every building on the planet can be described. Church with a soul and one without even. You can have a beer, two beers, wine and a cocktail but not milk unless you take it in a feeding bottle. If you cycle, you have to be a boy and if you're dancing, you have to be a girl. Bamboo shoots there are 3. Please explain.

Can even-odd days even the odds?

Delhi CM's experiment on solving traffic woes and 'Swacch-Bharat'ing the daylights out of Delhi air has purportedly been proven miraculously successful. Some reports claim that the odd - even drive has cleaned up the air by a whopping 300%.

Trying to suppress the skeptic in me asking all sorts of questions, I decided to look at the economic bonanza of the odd-even-drive (or drive-not depending on your numerological luck). Think of all the industries that it could foster.

First is one that brings visions James Bond and his number plate flipping vaahan. Of course you know what I mean. It would give brisk business to auto part dealers, and young engineers, perhaps unknowingly, will come up with the mechanics of the numberplate switch. Whats that? Yellow paint? Yeah that would be easier

More interesting will be the beauty business. Perhaps one can pass off as a female driver. Adorn a Dupatta and a Bindi (emulating some people who did just this to escape the law- albeit a different one) and one may whiz past the cheerfully challaning cops

Either way, I'm not complaining. My mahila might and the aurat advantage gets me   50% off on traffic. That I like :)
