A day without a meal for the mind.
One fine day, I often thinks of not doing any particular activity or task. Particularly which is very regular in nature. I do it often, just to break the cycle of monotonous value of these activities. And one fine day, I skipped my afternoon lunch.
Now in the month of April in the scorching heat with huge humidity in the air, I anyways was annoyed to go out of my office for anything, let alone the lunch. Thus deciding that today's factor to make my daily life different would be that I would skip today's lunch.
I was aware that yes it can be silly for the sake of getting a unique day from everyday, I was not aware that the experience would turn out to be rather daft and time bending. Yes I do mean time bending. My day feels like it a very long queue with every minute standing and waiting for time to pass the mark of present and past; and many more minutes waiting behind to sum up the day’s future. I am still in the same day and the day feels like a lifetime.
Its quite surprising to me that making a simple change in regular, mechanized task pattern can bring a catastrophe in the entire mechanism itself. I do not mean physical catastrophe. My mind somewhere is still waiting to ring the bell for full stomach, then give me the post meal dizzy and sleepy feelings; only to notify that time is moving as it moved everyday. But only today it isn’t.
Wonder what all things mind can manipulate us to think about, when it can literally bend time for me. Maybe when people think what is real and what is not, mind plays a huge factor in making them believe whatever they believe. Maybe whats real is only in the mind and not real. Maybe the chair or vehicle or any object behind your head is not what the mind considers real only because it hasn’t seen or known it as yet.
So is it just consciousness which creates the entire realm or reality and time.
Or maybe its just hunger which is making me think too much.
