Everyday I wake up at 7:30 am. Walk straight to the front room - sit with the paper. Stare out of the window. Meditate for 5 minutes - but think of what to cook or what to wear. Run around screaming at bob - asking him to wake up or get ready. Shout instructions to the maid - make masala chai. Drink half of it - run to put the geyser on - more yelling at maid - bathing and getting dressed - throwing clothes on bed while searching for the right purple shirt without creases - scamper - shove breakfast down the throat - tell maid to cook curry exactly like an andhraite/mallu - shove breakfast down bobs throat - look for shoes - empty bag - look for keys an mobile under a pile of magazines. And finally, run out of the house and while on that Royal Enfield that spews sound - yakk away to bob about what went wrong, what could have been done and what I want to do. Busy busy, you see!
But when I get to Juhu circle and stop by the signal - that’s when everything loses relevance. I see this board and then all my misgivings melt away. And I just wave to this man, he smiles and I fall silent. Because, in my head - I need this everyday to remind me that this is all that matters. After all, this is all that really matters!
Often Bob and me would wonder what this man is all about. And am glad someone did this - made this video because this makes me smile. This is and will always be the solution to all our problems.
Ciao!
