How are you feeling right now? By the way, over time, this has become my favourite question. It’s more personal than “How are you?” and less invasive than “Are you OK?”. It strikes the perfect balance between concern and optimism. Anyway, it’s Sunday night here and I believe it’s the same for most of my humble readers. Also, Iam not sure about you but I love Sundays, particularly the ones where I don’t do any work. Which happens as rarely as Halley’s comet but much appreciated.
It wasn’t always like this though.
Once upon a time, I was a dreamy lost child who associated Sunday mornings with the cutest thing that Gulzarsaab ever wrote—Jungle Jungle Baat Chali Hai—and back then, not just the cartoons, even the food resonated. South Indian breakfast: dosa the stuff I loved. Bad pun. Well, to this day, I connect the smell of crisp dosa dipped in green chutney with the visual treat in my neighbour's house (because theirs was the only house with a television). Innocent days indeed.
Back to adulthood.
Today is that day of the week (unless you work in the startup ecosystem) when you can simply go back to sleep because the world doesn't need you. There are so many things that simply don't work on this glorious day. Philosophy. Motivation. Good advice. Bad attitude. Discipline. Hygiene. And the list goes on and on.
In fact, one can write an endless love letter here because deep down, we all know that we pretend to work for money but in reality, we work for the Big S. That’s it. Even if you have an interchangeable weekly off, that day becomes your Sunday. If you are a god-fearing person, you’ve got to thank the early communists for this working class gift.
