I was foxed when I was told that the meeting is fixed for "sharp" 10 am. There is nothing sharp about either the meeting or 10 am.
Habits die hard and as usual I carried my trusted companion which has helped me retain a cover on my head that helps keeping cool in summer and warmth in winter - a book. Does it matter which book is it? I have read more books by default waiting for 10 am than by design.
So it was, meeting started with a cup of tea at noon. Great start, I said to myself. Thankfully the biological needs will drive the meeting to a closure before the scheduled duration of 3 hours. Anyways, lunch at 1 is far more critical.
I go into time machine and recount the meaning of time across various trips in parts of our great country.
Meet at 10 means
- sometime in the morning after mid morning tea and before lunch in the seat of power city
- after stock market opens up in a fiercely tea loving "dry" city
- planning to take 8.14 fast, reaching at 9.44 and then sharing a cab for 11 minutes drive to the meeting venue
- anytime during the day in the civil servant's (or civil master's) office
Then I met somebody who actually demonstrated that there is a logic in all this. I pleaded as if falling apple has not had any impact on me and I am not doing "eureka" - idiotic looks.....
You see, it is all related to our culture.
I never knew watches demonstrated culture - or do they?
Life is all about context. You got to understand the language (I am wondering whether it is a language class or NLP or body language or astrology). It has to be seen that 10am is said in what context.
I am confused - how come a citizen changes the context from city to city and season to season.
It is a maze - what appears simple is as straight as a jalebi?
oops its is food fascination again..... I am hungry... gotta go... lunch at 11am or dinner at 1 in night...
Who cares as long as it is food. Better if is free.
