So busy we have become with our lives, that when we think of calling friends, we stop because - ; "Why can't he/she call me?" or " She would think I have nothing to do" and we all can guess other stupid reasons we make. It gives us an unnecessary high to think we are too busy to be in touch with people around. Too busy to pursue a hobby? Is taking out ten minutes from our "so called" busy schedule so difficult for us? Maybe we are stuck in the vicious circle of our own making, first we let go of things because we are genuinely a little busy, then we pretend to be busy, then we regret being busy(of course we won't accept it), then we become busy in thinking about the reasons of being busy. And this makes us feel so special and important.
When it rains, we don't stop and enjoy but crib about jams. When a friend calls we don’t chat but put across reasons for not calling, when a relative calls we search for reasons to drop the call, for me when a book calls I have started looking for excuses not to pick it up(believe me I have done so). In the last few days I have thought a lot about this mess that I have created, I arrived at the conclusion that – “ I have been busy no doubt, but at times I have been uselessly busy” and it’s the time to stop this nonsense. It’s the time to give myself a chance to enjoy – “ Kya pata kal ho na ho” (I am a Shahrukh Khan fan, and won't apologise for being one).
So stop being busy, give life a chance. Enjoying it won’t make you small but a happier and healthier person.
P.S - Don’t be uselessly busy , if you want to write a comment , do it.
