I got up in the morning last week and saw my wife was ready to go someplace.

“Where are you going?” I asked – thinking I might have missed some appointment.

“I went for a morning walk”

This was shocking and I knew there was trouble ahead.

“Do I need to come?” I asked and that was a big mistake.

“That is all upto you” she said, in English. That was scary – my wife does not speak in english unless she was serious.

I went with her next day. It was a walk around university campus, and most guys there were senior citizens who got up early morning and had nothing else to do anyway. I was afraid to sleep that night just becoz of the thought of getting up for a walk at 5:30AM. “Tomorrow never comes” they say which is a biggest lie; it did, and I had exact same routine, same path, same wind blowing the leaves, same birdcalls as well as if it was mechanical. It rained for the next couple days and I thought that was it; but noooo, it has started again.

So now I don’t know what to do. I can’t stand anything routine and the one hour of morning sleep is too precious to waste on a morning walk; I can’t focus on work for the whole day. And although it is upto me to walk, the consequences of not going will spread all over my life. SO, how do I stop this madness and restore peace? Any ideas?

Thanks in advance,
Mahesh

Good to see you back.

Nice to read your post on a Friday morning. My day started off crazy – did running (!!oh exercise!!); broke a glass in my mouth while drinking water, no power while showering and though that lotion was a shampoo (don’t try this at home)…and more

Also I hope to see stuff other than wife, exercise, Sanjay leeela bansal

More about roads, police, traffic, politics, IT dudes of Bangalore..eh?
