I Want Short Term Goals Like My Cat
August 28, 2017
Just sitting in my terrace with this laptop trying to remember what was storming in my head a while ago when I decided to rush indoors to fetch my laptop and just be creative. I really can’t remember…was it about AD? How would you know? You don’t have a telepathic connection with me.
Well, vergiss es!
The moment is gone.
So I am watching sunset while writing and thinking what a blessing it is to have a ‘view’. Just waiting for this house across the street to complete its construction fast so I can see some balance of structural aesthetics with the beauty of nature. This mentioned house started its concrete life cycle around two years ago (who takes this much time to finish a house in Karachi?)
AD is going nuts with a bee on the floor right next to me. Few moments ago he was jumping in the air with feather in his mouth (I am telling you, he is a dog in cat’s body) and now a buzzing flightless bee has captivated his attention and energy. He is so lucky to have such short term goals for his life. I should learn from him. And by the way what’s wrong with me this year? Why am I planning the god damn future with so much seriousness now when I am turning 45 in two months? I should be sitting in my terrace permanently reading a book while sipping my café noir watching sunset and learning from AD. Why all of a sudden I want a ‘future’? What’s wrong with life as it is? Why can’t I be like AD? I envy him. Now he is shredding a flying newspaper…ah…so much energy and lack of focus…This is exactly how I was at this age (too much energy and no focus). Well, that didn’t turn out well for me, Mr. AD. Let’s see what awaits for you.
