Sanyas… anyone?

3 November 2008 at 11:00 am (*Sigh*, Musings..., Non-fiction.)

One doctor says, “Don’t take stress. Don’t be sentimental, emotional or sensitive. And don’t be aggressive. Just enjoy life…”

I look at him, amused and a little stunned, thinking, does he not realise there won’t be much of me left if I am not any of those things?

Another doctor says, “I wish I had treated you from the beginning… please stop all these medications. You are putting on weight because of these. They don’t suit you!”

I look at her and think, FACK!

I look at her again and re-think, Oh! So that’s why! It’s not the sweet tooth or the JD! Yay!

 

They all ask me to not take stress. I am stumped.

They all ask me to join the gym. I am annoyed.

They all ask me to relax and enjoy life. I want to scream now.

 

The medicines make me drowsy and very sleepy. In my drugged state, I dream of a little cafe where I bake cookies and cakes… I read… I have a special Masala chai and Hot chocolate recipe. People come over and I feed them and they pay me. They sit around reading and playing the guitar… I smile. In another dream, I am mixing cocktails for random strangers, with the sand in my feet and the sea-breeze in my not-too-frizzy hair :)

Maybe. Maybe I should just quit and run away. To the hills or to a shack. Chilly beef or chocolate chunk cookies? Hot chocolate or Kiwi margaritas? Winters by the sea and Summers in the hills. SPF 30 baby! Here I come! (?)
