The traffic signal, where my car came to a halt and so did several others. Felt like the world has been brought to a standstill by a big pause button. The perpendicular road which had the “Go Green light” was run over continuously by thousands of cars and vehicles at the expense of million others waiting like me.
They seemed to be moving at a terrific speed and hurrying before the signal turned red again and gave a chance for the vehicles on the other road to move ahead. A perfect depiction of today’s world where each one is going ahead at the expense of someone else, taking as much advantage of the situation as possible.
With the red signal flashing yellow, I suddenly felt out of place. The very question of my existence at such a junction gripped my thoughts. I reconsidered my purpose of carrying on with such a monotonous life. But my thoughts were soon overpowered by loud honking cars, leaving me with options of either moving or being run over by them. My life geared to speed again but in the same direction.
Few minutes later, the same thoughts came back to rescue me from my purposeless life. but they backed off upon seeing me doing something really interesting…….
There I was, at a store, picking fresh tomatoes among the rotten lot exactly the way my wife had instructed me to do……..
