'What if ?'

Hi Valsan,

'Simply Sitting' Solutions!

Very interesting!

Whoever has coined this phrase has unwittingly made 'TM' and 'Meditation', the words that are associated with rich and lazy more socialistic!. Now ordinary people can afford to practice it ! They need not join any cult praticing 'sudharshan kriya' and pay for it proprtionate to the amount of air they breath in and breath out ...or get suffocated by the hugging amma..

Standing on my one leg,inside the 8.46 Borivali-Churchgate fast local, my head sandwiched between two tall guys, struggling to take the hot and foul air inside thru my nostrills, I was yearning to sit in a corner and see solutions for whatever I can ...

I was thinking ...What, if ...

I get up in the morning and simply sit in a corner.. No need to rush to kitchen to boil the milk, prepare tea or cut vegetables .. No need to rush to catch the bus whcih comes at 8.40 and hop from the bus to catch this local ... dodge the vehicles to get into my office bus ... No need to rush to my PC to open 'windows' using 'mouse' to get greeted by some new gene of virus.. Or, see unwanted emails and increase my BP after seeing the sensex graph falling... No need to worry about how to develop the algorithm that goes inside the front-end tools to trigger an event that activates the back-end processing..the output of which is taken as input by some remote server simply sitting in some corner of the world!

What if,

My wife gets up in the mornng and simply sit in a corner. She also has to enjoy this 'simply sitting'. She refuses to rush thru her brushing and rush to kitchen to see if I have started the ground work! No need to prepare tea ... no need to worry about steaming Idlis or pouring dough on pan to make dosas which refuses to go round and round and prefers to simply sit in one side of the pan... No need to worry about preparing 'sambar' and accompanying 'Uppery' and stuff it in lunch boxes ...the daily chorus she wants to escape from...

What if,

My daughters get up in the morning and simply sit in a corner ... No need to visit the kitchen before turning the morning pages of daily ...and the colourfull supplements full of 'Bollywood' crab ... No need to get up and open the door when the door bell rings by the newspaper boy or the milk man or the garbage collector...

What if,

The sweeper, the bus driver, the motor man, the rikshawala,the traffic constable, the vegetable vendor, the postman,the pilot,the police .... and all those who make this city move decide to sit in a corner ...and continue to be in that posture.. till they get solutions for whatever the problems ....

Globally thinking...

What if,

Mr.Bush had been given lesson on 'simply sitting' solutions prior to his sending men to make Mr.Osama run, who was till then 'simply sitting' in a corner of some cave in Afganisthan without bothering anybody...

What if,

Mr.Osama had been given lesson on the benefit of 'simply sitting' solutions prior to his activating 'sleeping cells' to take the civilian aircraft and simply hit the twin towers...

What if,

Mr.Bush and Blair had been given lesson on the benefit of 'simply sitting' to find solutions before they decided to jointly undertake annihilation of Iraq looking for that ever elusive weapons of mass distruction...

What if,

Mr. Musharaf had been aware of this 'simply sitting solutions' before he ordered his men to climb up Kargil and 'simply sit' there till our men in uniform reach there to wake them up ...

What if .... I hadn't seen your blog praising the benefit of 'simply sitting solutions'....!

Regards,

SOman
