and to zoom out of things. this ability defines the flexibility of mind. like ur body, mind too becomes less flexible with age. its bcoz of adaptive shortening.
when u stay in a particular posture for long every day, the muscles which stay flexed undergo shortening. its called adaptive shortening. e.g. students, due to long hours of sitting, get shortening of shoulders and hamstrings.
torticollis (tilted neck ) some people have is also a form of adaptive shortening. i have heard its related to being passionate, naive and honest. i dont know.
i lost my phone again, this time in a train. period. lets proceed.
so ive moved from one coastal capital on west coast to other on the east coast. and ive had a good practise of playing dumb charades since last few days. atmosphere is same humid here.
im adjusting well to the food here. except ftft ive swelled a little 2 inches more, and my body has started smelling a mix of coconut and curd. thank god they dont use coconut oil to cook and use coconut only in chutneys , unlike kerala where, i wondered if their staple food was rice or coconut ?!
public trasport is less efficient. frequency of buses is low. and autos dont have meters installed only.
people are honest and hardworking, modest. except some grumpy old ones who misdirected me a couple of times. they seemed curt or may be they were riddled by " what is the need for these outsiders should come here. why dont they stay at their place only. they should just go away ?! ". but young ones i met were co-operative and had a welcome expression on their face.
a couple of times ,at restaurants and bus stands, humblest of talks made my head turn, as i mistook them for arguments. 70 to 80 % girls wore salwar-kameez in the class i went.
one thing i do, when im on the road, is avoid reading shop-boards coz the 'jalebi script' keeps making me hungry....
p.s. - i started to write something else and then went random.
anyway will post more explorations in next one.
