Do Not See, But Perceive

Have you seen the world around you?  Take a break from your office desk and notice how the downtown skyline changing at dusk…


The ancestral home is readying itself to become a high rise apartment… 


The street food vendor from whom you had dahi-chawal this morning, is now into frying pakodas…


The cute girl across your cubicle, otherwise snob, is wearing an approaching smile…


Your coffee mug with a hairline crack is screaming its lungs out for retirement … 



The ping note from Skype is saying your annoying client is here with another feedback. Argh! So that’s it for now. 
But from now on do not just see, but perceive… Hope you’ll slip into your client’s shoes this time.

Even though I tried level best not to think of this but unfortunately my stream of unconsciousness allow the thought to come
