Hey everyone
I m back..After not so long but still. Anyways hope all of you out there are doin good. So here's my new post. A complete knowledge of what LIFE is made up of. And by LIFE i'm not talking about my LIFE or your's or someone else's in particular. It's all about LIFE in general. Atleast thats what he told me. He who??? Read on guys..
One morning at around 1130 hrs I had my appointment with some eye-specialist to get my contact lenses done. So I had to get up early & leave with my dad to see the eye-doctor. So at around 1125 hrs I reach this building which had a kinda shady entrance--the ones like the typical commercial buildings have which came up long ago & then had noone to look after. Hmmm.. So I reach the desired place & walk upto the receptionist, which again was one of the typical receptionists you have at the typical commercial building offices. i verify my appointment & then wait for my turn which thankfully was 2nd.
The doc walks in like at around 1145 hrs & the 1st guy enters his cabin. I was sitting around, reading some stupid mags lying here & there, completly unaware of what is gonna strike me in the next 45 mins to come. The 1st guy walks out & its my turn. I look at the clock & it stares at me-- 1150hrs. I enter the cabin.
The doctor was a bit old-- in his 60s mebbe. I didn't expect anything different either. He asks for my name & then proceeds on with my eye check up. He puts some device on my eyes & then starts experimenting..hmmm.. actually playing with it. He puts in one glass inside it & then asks--Hows this..??. I say-- "Ah ha.. Not that good". He goes again. I answer. He goes.I answer. Fnally he stops & gets my actual lens power. I look at the clock again-- 12.10. He calls in my dad then to explain him the details & get his fees. And then starts a conversation which I like still remember. I simply can't erase it out of my memory.
After a little hi--hello with my dad, He starts. And man did he start well. I was just stunned at what struck me after that maybe because I was completly unaware of what was gonna shoot me off. He said--" Temme your age beta.." "20" I replied & then he continued as if there was no end--" See, you are just 20 now. This time is for enjoying & understanding what LIFE is. LIFE is a simple concept of four stages. Stage 1-till you are 25 yrs old. You are in this stage. In this stage your main aim should be studying & working for your future. All your concentration & efforts should be focussed towards building a good career for yourselves." I wondered what the f**k is this guy talking about man. LIFE..???Shit.. But he had more.
He continued--" Stage 2-- from 26 till 50. In this satge you shoud have all the "FUN" in your LIFE. Get married. Have kids. Enjoy your work. And understand your responsibilities towards your family as well. But ha the "FUN" should never die out you see." Man.. the face he made when using the "F" word was something to watch. It made the unhderlying meaning crystal clear to me. And to add to my misery,my dad as well who just kept staring at me wondering how the f**k am I taking all that. Anyways the doc continued--" Stage 3--from 51 to 75. In this stage you should think about serving your society. Your involvement in your family which now has like your grandchildrens as well, should be minimal. You should think about the society." I was just on the verge on loosing it now but was somehow controlling it. But He seriously had come prepared to give someone his piece of mind that day.
He--" Stage 4-- from 76 till you are alive. In this stage...." Knock Knock.. Someone comes at the door & gosh i'm relieved & i guess so was my dad. But He is pissed. The look he gives to the nurse says it all. I look at the clock--1235hrs. "F**K ..!! 45 mins!!!" I shout out loud, in my mind obv.
We leave the place as fast as we can & i promise not to visit it again. I seriously had some crap put into my head which made it go bonkers for sure. But I guess the doc surely might have enjoyed.
Cheers
Lalit
P.S: Sincere thanks to the nurse who came in & saved me from some more mental torture. But wish she could have come in a little early..[:D]
Enjoy
