5 minutes
Please decide and inform me in 5 minutes.Then the phone went dead.
I sat and pondered over the '5 minutes'. 5 minutes in which to consider everything, and give a definitive answer. not an unreasonable request.
The thing to do is as follows:
- List down all factors influencing the decision.
- Sort it on the basis of personal and professional.
- Consider personal first-Give less weightage to variable factors
- Consider professional.
- Cancel out everything with low weightage.
- Ask heart to go for a walk. Meanwhile with the resultant unencumbered brain, calculate, rationalise.
- Arrive at consensus.
can be done in 5 minutes.
Instead what i do is :
- sit on the hood of my car
- yelp! curse the heat that has singed my bottom.
- Examine the dirt layer, feel guilty for not keeping it clean.
- Wonder if it would rain?
- Examine dirtiness of the seat of the trousers
- Quick forceful dusting.
- Consider the difficulty in keeping car clean in hyderabad.
- Wonder if i'm hungry?
- Try and recollect what i ate last and when.
- Go and sit in the reception
- read the paper
phone rings.
hello? i say
well? he says
Sure. i say
good. he says
Making weighty decisions is hard work.Lifes journey is frought with decisions. Having come to the chasm and discovering no means to cross it for to ones chagrin some fool's burnt the bridge , one has no option but to leap. and midway into the leap is the wrong time to be debating ones decision.
Life is fun, unplanned, undebated, unhurried.
My old battle cry resounds in my ear " dekha jayega"
