sitting in the comfort of my home air conditioner at full blast with the tv remote in hand i lazily flip through the channels
one glance through the window the street is empty no dogs, no cows not even the pesky little crows
rush back inside and grab the remote flip through once again stopping only at the news channels quickly scanning the screen for anything
no mention of anything
quickly switch on the pc type in the news channel websites another scan through the pages still nothing
my blood pressure at an all time high sweating profusely at this unexplained phenomenon i grab the towel and grab a bottle of water from the fridge rush back to the window once again
a minute had passed nothing another minute and it felt like an hour had gone past but still nothing
head down anxiety and worry written all over i head back inside switch off the tv and the comp close my eyes and try to sleep
a distant sound of the msg tone lazily woke me up from this "sudden" slumber a look at the clock and i had slept for more than 6 hrs (without wanting to)
a quick peek from the window once again darkness had fallen over the land washing my face with some cold water i attempt to unravel the mystery i was part of
munching a box of popcorn halfway through the book i realized my folly
sitting in the comfort of my home worrying about people who doesnt even care what i feel worrying about things - inanimate (without feelings) i forgot to enjoy a nice sunny afternoon

note: image courtesy: flickr. inspired by childhood events. As a child, we start worrying about a lot of things that do not concern us. It could be anything from the dog that got hit by a bicyle to the person who tripped and fell down - they wouldnt care that we are worrying about them, but still we fret and worry about them a lot. This one has multiple meanings :)

could visualize you doing all this.. so simple and well written!! yes sometimes we keep fretting all the time about a person who doesn’t deserve it, when someone is out there thinking all the time about us!! so so true!!

Thank you Raji 🙂
yes, lots of time it happens. It all changes when u realize how big a folly u had been doing when u actually sit down and think abt it.
as you said, sometimes we worry about ppl who doesnt deserve it while “shoving” the one who thinks about us 🙂
sometimes we realize it too late, and at times, we never realize.
i am glad that i realized it now (early) than never.
very true..am happy you realized it.. whoever made you realize it, am happy they did!! somebody is out there who thinks of you and cares for you…
cheers n love
