What if ...

I have a lot of 'what if' moments. When after a day is done, I revisit some gone by moments in my mind and keep wondering 'what if'. I am sure there must be others who also do this, but my 'what ifs' actually don't let me sleep or think and I go crazy replaying the events in my mind.

My latest 'what if' happened when I dropped my watch in the mall yesterday. Jahnavi asked me to pick her up and put her down so many times that at one point the watch came undone and probably fell down. I noticed my bare wrist soon enough but then I was wondering if I had put on my watch in the morning ? So instead of looking for my watch there, I assumed that I hadn't. Of course as you must have deduced by now, I did put it on and now it is gone. 'What if' I had just looked around at the time !! 'What if' I hadn't just taken the easy way out and kept walking !! The whole scenario has been gnawing at me and I am unable to sleep. I just keep imagining my dear watch lying somewhere there, unclaimed and orphaned.. kicked around maybe. Maybe someone has already picked it up and given it another home. I have half a mind to go back and peep under the shelves .. my 'what if' scenario makes me think that it might just be there.

I didn't manage to go today and there might not be much chance that it will still be around tomorrow, but in mind, it'll still churn on.. 'what if' ?

Oh Didi.. I know how it feels. Sorry to hear about the watch. You might want to try calling them if someone deposited at the lost and found counter(if there is any).

IC 814 revisited

Watched the program on National Geographic about the IC 814 hijacking. It was a little too dramatacized and the passenger's angle was totally missing. But for 2-3 passengers, they totally reported the whole episode from the Captain Devi Sharan's point of view. Nothing wrong with that, but only that it was just a very small view of the whole episode. I am sure they must have a lot of footage of the time when the plane was in Kandhahar, Afghanistan, but they didn't show much of that. It also reminded me of my own article, which I had written when I had just come back from the ill-fated trip. The whole office was abuzz with the news that a colleague had been on board the plane and the first day I came back to work I was bombarded with questions and more questions. It was so bad that I had lost my voice by the end of the day. So I decided to write the whole thing down and send it to my friends in office. That article got forwarded around quite a bit, and finally found a place ...

Civic Sense

I always keep wondering, when will people in India learn some civic sense. I have seen a lot of cities around the world, but none come anywhere close to what Indian cities can offer in the lack of civic sense. But then with many people struggling to even make ends meet, this might be the last thing on their minds. So I would excuse that strata, but what does the middle class and the upper middle class have to say for itself ? Even the so called cream of the society totally lacks any sense of responsibility of the community. Chauffeur driven Mercedes cars, and at the traffic light the driver opens the door and spits out the paan. The children and adults, roll down the window and throw out the wrappers and tissue papers. Is the city except for their own cars and houses a huge dustbin ? One would think so. Elevators.. in my own office. I have seen people not wait for me when they knew I was approaching the lift. All it takes is to lift a finger and press the Door-Open switch, or just tell...
