STUPID

Red: Seriously I mean how often do you look at a man’s shoes?
Dialogue from movie ‘Shawshank Redemption’




I never thought that this dialogue will be so truthful until I went through it! Yes it was my shoes on that strange day in the picture. There was nothing different about the day altogether other than I was stupid as I could be! I was walking form my desk to the lab which is like a 6 minutes walk rite across my office. I usually walk fast with big long steps and people have already told me that I walk like I am on a time frame to reach some place. Yes, they some time do have to run with me when I have something on my mind and I am just walking fast … On that day I felt a little different walking. One step was too comfortable and the other was little tight. I was wearing two different shoes, each from a pair I had. One of Boots from bata, about a year old and the other was wood land, about three years old. I looked at my shoes and smiled at myself which grew to a proper big laugh by the time I reached lab. Lab lady was looking at me which a ‘?’ on her face as I am not usually a smiley face.
The day went un eventful other than I forgot my laptop battery in the lab, took a permission from my manager to go home and change shoes but told her that I have a FEDEX package to collect as I was a little shy to say I am wearing shoes from two different pairs. Unfortunate for me that the day was ‘Columbus day’ UPS and FEDEX were closed!
Again through the evening I made a vegetable stew which came out really tasty but I forgot the half kg beans I washed and cut left on the table fresh-raw and I forgot to add salt in the stew!

What more to say, there are these days in our life where nothing just works for us, it just goes from wrong to worse and I was really feeling silly but I was so happy that after each I had my mind laughing at me again and again …stupid, no other word would come to my mind
