i got into koramangala at 8:45 a.m today. as usual i went to linda store to have my morning cup of coffee. i think i have this face or body language that makes people come to me with their problems and talk about it. the owner started up a converstation with me. it was about life and how things change so fast. about how you plan on what you want to do and it looks good and you go for it with all guns blazing and then it just goes phusss.. he was telling me about the year 1984 when he finished his diploma in electronics. he told me about this old man he used to watch in an electronics repair shop with a microscope thingy in his eye, reparing a VCR. he thought if an old man could be doing it then obviously its a good career path. he was all excited. he started from scratch and ended up having his own repair shop. it suddenly went bust. i loved his examples. he said if people can now buy a DVD player for 2k what would they pay for repairing it??? now he is wondering what to do. in what once used to be an electronics repair shop he now has chips, samosas, sandwiches, bun jam butter, masala toast, soft drinks, batteries, combs, coffee, tea.
i assured him that things would be ok. i told him that one has to be on his or her toes all the time. he smiled but i know that whatever i say he still needs to get through it on his own. i just hope he knows that i said this with all sincerity.
its funny how i say positive things to people around and inside i am just so negative. i think i love sleep. my life has a tendency to fall apart when i am awake.....
