If you were given a chance...a "privileged" opportunity to strip yourself of two things : your actual age and "behave your age" theories, what is that you would do ?
Laugh loudly and run amidst a sunflower field under the afternoon sun without having to use a sunscreen, with the yellows warming you more than the afternoon sunshine...
Not thinking twice about your Rs.2500 branded jean whilst getting dirty sliding down a mushy rain washed path or jumping into a puddle...
Suck nectar from wild plants...
Make mud pots and deliberately allow the sand to get into your pedicured nails...
Walk bare foot on unkempt grass...
Eat ice lollies and ice candies in the rain even when you have a bad cold...
Play "who gets on who" with your dog and eat food with the same hands...
Draw apples and oranges and remember that you've forgotten how to hold a pencil...
Try to make spit bubbles...
Hold an insect in your hands without being threatened by it...
Pee under the stars while travelling on the highway irrespective of your gender...
Some of these may sound unhygienic, make you go red with shame and may tempt you to just pick your phone and fix an appointment with a neurologist for me .
Thank you .
But if you could stop for a while : stop this very moment to observe the chances you have around you or even grab, to become innocent and impeccable, instead of talking about how "corrupt" everything is becoming, you'd stop dialing that number to the neurologist and probably just take a walk to the nearest store and buy yourself a lollipop.
Like a great man once said, " I'm a guy with a laptop in one hand and lollipop in the other... "
