No matter how much I read online and thought about it and asked people
about it, I was never able to do this one simple thing that everyone
seemed to be talking about. Getting out of my head.
That's because I was 'reading', 'thinking', and 'listening' to their
advice.
It is kind of tough to 'explain' getting outside your head, but I'll
try and elucidate.
I called up a wing to meet. It was around 8 in the evening, and we
were only meeting at some un-sargeworthy place. I didn't expect to
sarge. Just meet up with him and chat and bond a little. So, there is
no agenda.
I'm crossing the road. Some girl comes up next to me. Normally, I
wouldn't give her a second glance. But, she does. So, I did the polite
thing.
"Excuse me, what's the time?"
*time*
"Thank you."
"So, you're just getting back from work?"
*Yeah..*
"Ok, don't freak out. I'm sort of a mindreader. It's an IT/software
job rite?"
*Haha yes.* And she goes on about her job etc.
We cross the road. We part ways. And, I've just made her day.
Meet up with wing. Talk about field experience (as if!). Then he
says, ok open.
Nice lonewolf and we both get into a heated argument as to who has to
open. He takes two steps forward and one step back. Literally
So, I take charge.
"Excuse me, do you come here often?"
*Um...yeah..*
"What do u think of the prices here? Too exorbitant...?"
She talks on and on. Every second moment, I turn to leave and she
still is saying something. So, I engage her. ~I was friggin
"bodyrockin" and didnt even realize it.~
Anyways after she has exhausted her supply of IOIs, I leave. I may
have also made her day.
Cut to hotel scene. Uncle and Aunty eating something.
"What is that?"
"Veg. Manchuri"
"Cool. Even I'm getting that. Hope it tastes good?"
Both smile. Aunty actually beams.
Ok...so thanks for staying through my monologue here. It just feels so
good to be home (in my head). However, I intend to travel a bit more
now.
