Try Doing nothing for a change

Winter is finally here. I love the metro rides in the cold early mornings as most of the world still sleeps under their blankets. I find summer very baring and exhibitionist. Compared to that, winter is more snuggly, warm and rather demure. The sun too is soft and tentative as if it's trying to test its warmth. There's nothing like toasting your back on a sunny winter afternoon. I usually stand with a book in hand in the balcony and within minutes I doze off. It's the ultimate pleasure in an off day. No work, no tension, just lazing around in the sun.
Talking of tension, there's too much of it going around these days. Everyone I meet is in a hurry, in a huff, rushing to or from a meeting or just pissed trying to meet a deadline. The worst thing is that there is no end to these things. We carry all the tension from work to home and make our evenings and weekends miserable. So there is really no break as such, no time to unwind. When was the last time you lay in bed swinging your foot and listened to some peppy music on youtube? When was the last time you just sat in the couch and did nothing for an hour? I bet you cant even remember! Well, that's what I mean by relaxing. We got to stop running, meeting deadlines, worrying and making ourselves sick. We are only hurrying our race to the grave.
Just try it. Laze around the house doing nothing for a day. It's the ultimate answer to all our troubles. You think i'm kidding?
