What's new? Lockdown 2.0
Ok but what's new with me? Nothing. Literally!
Oh ya! I go running in the mornings. Absolutely loving it.
There is a kilometer long downhill that i run without a break. 2 ways covered with lushful green. Different shades of green. various tones of the birds. Grey road and clear/clouded sky.
As usual while i was heading back from my run, I got into all let-me-try-a-new-startegy mode and I started running backwards. Actually walking.
I walk backwards 50 steps and turned around and walk for another 50 steps. Repeated this sequence for sometime. And with time I increased the number of steps eventually. I could see people who were walking towards me as I was drifting away from them. There was this couple who were walking and I tried my best to avoid eye contact. And as i walking backwards i increased the the number of steps. and suddenly I became unstoppable. There is no halt at all. The number went from 50 to 100 to 250 and I was about to just touch 300 and Booom! I fall flat on my ass. i wanted to laugh my heart out in a reflex. But thankfully i stood up immediately and started walking swiftly. It was funny. That moment. The couple couldn't contain their laughter too I am pretty sure. They were anyway judging me for walking backwards and the moment i fell they were like - Ah had to happen - expression.
The point is I never ever saw them after that. No matter how small the world is, few embarrassments are worth it. And thanks to corona all of us were masked. So even if i saw them again I am sure I wouldn't recognise them. I don't know about them. 😀
Love!
