When did you
sleep last night?
12!!
Partying
hard bro!?
I don’t know if that was a question,
statement or exclamation.
But I do know that you don’t care whether I
was studying, prepping for today’s meeting, was taking care of an ailing pet or had a blocked nose!
When did you
reach office today?
So early
considering you slept late!!
Trying to
impress your bosses!? Or want to leave early for another party tonight. Huh!?
I am still unsure about why and how to
answer your question.
But I do know that you don’t care if I had a
deliverable/meeting, am particular about punctuality or if it’s actually my
inflexible work timings!
You are
wearing such a dark shade today!
Are you
sad!?
Did you even realise that it could be my
favourite colour, the outfit recommended by my mum for today or the last nice
and clean pair left out of my laundry bag?
Who has
salads only in lunch?
Dieting!
Huh!?
I have an upset stomach. Period.
Show me the
pictures of your trip.
Why are you
standing away from your father in each snap? Don’t you to get along well or
what?
I know you have no idea how short I feel
standing next to my dad and the exact opposite when I stand alongside my
not-so-tall mother. And you never will!
You don’t
drink!?
You have no
clue how to enjoy!
You drink!?
I thought
you to be a “good” person!
I choose not to answer.
Don’t have a
girlfriend/boyfriend!?
You are
missing out on life!
You have a
girlfriend/boyfriend?!
I never
expected you to be so fast in life!
I’m still thinking whether to answer your
question/exclamatory statement or not.
You like
trekking?
I thought
you like to take care of your skin, your nails and your, well, dainty “girly”
self!
First of
all, “dainty” traverses a very thin line of interpretation.
And is trekking stopping me from doing any of these?
Or do you even realise the sense of sheer
joy or achievement that surrounds me when I scale a new height?
You listen
to slow music.
How sad are
you in life!?
You enjoy
EDM!
I was right!
You are one of those “trippy” people!
But I’m not sure which sound of music will resonate
with your thought process!
You read?
Oh! You are
one of those introvert types?!
Well! Just an FYI! I go to Book club
meetings, blog, attend conferences and what not.
And do
you…..

Do you ever stop?
You are always ready with a volley of
questions to shoot my way whenever I see you!
Who are you?
A relative, a friend, a colleague or a
perfect stranger with his/her own perfect imperfections or simply Google?
I used to think that somebody will ask my
“full’ name to judge my religion, my professional life to judge my educational
certifications and my mannerisms to issue the character certificate for my
parents.
But I don’t know whether fortunately or
unfortunately, it doesn’t stop at that.
You are always ready to judge me with my
slightest possible innocent gesture.
Aren’t you tired by judging me all the time
without actually understanding me knowing me.
Do you realise that every day is different and
so are my moods?
I could be on cloud nine today or waiting
for the Earth to open up and swallow me whole!
Or for that matter to swallow you whole!
I think this is exactly much you can take at
a time.
We’ll talk more, that is, I’ll talk and
you’ll listen more when you stop and absorb how I’m doing in response to your nonchalant
“howdy”.
With these words, I would like to rest my
itchy fingers as they want to …..
Wait! Why should I tell you if you are going
to judge me for it?
