Its been ages since i went out on one of my random walks with a purpose, some how Ahmedabad is not the right place to go for walks its either too sticky or well this season too wet. Its not just the weather it just doesn't feel right for some strange reasons either the roads are too full or too empty or just too dusty.
But i guess thats the way it flows. Ahmedabad is a nice city to be in though. People seem nice, its a bit disorganised but then which place in India isn't except for maybe Chandigarh. Its filled with superrich people and with people who love to eat out. Be it street food or restaurants everything seems so filled. Do people not cook at home. I guess when theres no alcohol you need to find other ways to let your hair down. Its a bit weird for a stranger in town used to his drink. Its not that i drink too much its just that now that i know its not available that i think about it at times. I don't crave for it just think about it once in a while.
Im sitting in a cafe today came out just for a change of scenery sadly enough my search for Shambhu Cafe was futile as there seem to be only two particular units in town which have a nice sit in place, others are these roadside shacks horrible stinky places. Very nice sp cold coffee though . Thick creamy yummy thats basically what i was after so after having a coffee while holding my nose i came across the road in lure of free wifi which today is slow so im not using it. im carrying my own 3g equipment thank god for that.
So im sitting in a decent cafe with an AC having a shite coffee and some ok pizza veg of course . Didn't realise i had worked up such an appetite. there are only two people in the cafe maybe its the time. The couples discussing marriage which probably is their plan for the future. The girl discusses how she needs to change her job, her frustrations and her plans. Working in the big 4 seems to the common dream here. I have come across so many people in the recent past that either are working there or have worked there and though they all praise it but they are just so completely sapped of it. She does not want to work there. But i got sidelined i caught a bit of their conversation based around the girl not wanting to work after marriage or taking it easy. The guy agrees but with a slight change in his tone im not too sure if he's happy , but he's supportive . Now shes complaining about how the guy didn't quite prepare her for an interview he had arranged , damn so much complication. Do normal people discuss this, is this what couples conversations today are about. I guess it depends upon what phase of the relationship you are in. Damn so many unhappy people so much mess in the world. I guess thats the way it goes.
Job hunting has been such a horror , that i just get put off by even someone else's angst about job search. I guess im a true escapist cos id even run away from these conversations.
Its started raining remember the wet i had the sticky before now on my way back i might just get the wet too. Its just drizzling its quite nice looking out of the window watching people go by . I hadn't quite noticed the rain till the girl mentioned it.
Now she talks about marriage and about how her family is looking to get her married soon , what shock thought they had solid plans for marriage, i guess life is really complicated, suitors in Agra are mentioned. The plots getting thicker and my ear stand up as the conversations goes down a few decibels. Theres a complication between the boy and his father he works with his father but the girl perceives some sort of a distance between them. Her father wants her to get married, she has to go meet this boy in Agra, she doesn't want to but has too as she cant quite refuse point blank i guess i walked into a real situation here.
This phase of a relation is so boring and probably so important again something that i get uncomfortable with, not about hidden affairs but about the certainty of getting tied down to one single person. Again not that i have this whole bunch of women in my cupboard or that i am a polygamous man , im strictly monogamous in fact im chronically single for quite some time now. But its just like with the drink i guess when im certain that this is it ill miss it the most ,ill moss being single or having a choice.
The discussions moved on while im contemplating my position and the discussion has moved on to what to eat and where to go Funs had discussing the various couisines they could try including snake and others they are veg probably both of them. They decide that enoughs been achieved here and its time to leave, The girl is summing it up well while shes leaving "Kya discussion hua or koi solution nahin hua".
Its just amazing how frivolous relationships are i mean two minutes ago there seemed to be so much gloom and the conversation had almost died out and all of a sudden the love is back again just because they discussed about where to eat. Lovers have such short memories at times maybe theres a learning to be had there that solutions will come and there no great use in contemplation take life less seriously and it will be better. Or maybe its just that we are Ahmedabadi,s food , talking about food makes us happy .
Shambhu dear Shambu where art though i seek thy thick sugary cold coffee to make me happy again.
