Living off packaged drinking water and delivered food at our doorstep, we try to keep up with our fast-paced life, for we’ve been taught to keep on running while keeping up appearances in front of our loved ones on phone calls since we don’t want to disseminate our worries through these overloaded mobile signals. At this moment, standing on the roof of a building, I see many intense emotions being perfectly carried by waves to a place where they turn into tears and fall onto scrawled unsent letters.
We’ve installed various food-delivery mobile applications and tasted exotic dishes, but the taste, which we’re seeking, isn’t listed on a single menu. Certainly, #Uber can take us to our destinations, but I wish we could take a ride to a place where we can calm our restless mind.
Although I’m learning to be contented with my broken pieces, I feel as a piece of me was stolen while I was in the metro taking me to the place that I didn’t intend to go. Oftentimes, I came across exhausted faces hanging because of the heavy load of responsibilities in these jam-packed metros. A few times, I passed a tiny smile, hoping they’d smile back and feel light-hearted. Rarely, I saw them smiling back. I was sure that they were counting how many days were left to be Saturday in their chaotic heads.
At the foot of tall towers, I see lipstick applied over charred lips moving, and crushed cigarette butts stained with lipstick, scattered near garbage bins. Truth to tell, their accent and fluency intimidate me. Along with them, I see some men, and these men’s withered lips and bags under their sly eyes make me feel skeptical about their dapper appearance.
Until you realise that you’ve become a part of this rat race, it’s already Monday.
Welcome to #Gurugram.
