Everyday I take the longer route from office to home. Its not like there is some girl waiting for me in the way but still I take the longer metro route. It takes around 30 to 45 minutes longer. By bus it takes 20 -30 minutes only. It is even costly by 60 rupee and I could save around 1500 rupees if I could agree with Sureka, my penny conscious friend and flatmate. I am never able to justify this and answer his "why" when he asks me.
I do reasonable things and my logic works perfectly fine. Its just that I forget. I have my reasons and something, which I have figured out fine, I forget the reason for it and adhere to the results. Also am not very rigid that I won't change my mind, but that will take another round of reasoning by my subconscious.
So what are my why answers. Because I get some peaceful time. Metro is much quieter than road. It is more comfortable in terms of jerks and accelerations. Its cool. Its less crowded mostly( except at few stations near rajeev chowk).
But the biggest reason is that I love music and I don't get any time to enjoy music when am at work or at home. I work most of the time, and this is the time in metro, am doing just nothing. And am alone. Alone in not a horrifyingly haunting way, but in a very enjoyable pleasant way. This is the time I spend thinking. I think over a wide range of topics, ranging from new new ideas, future plans to country problems. I think about my failed love life too. Sometimes I think why I should not think about my failed love life. I think about psychology and philosophy and art and logic. I think about what should I think.
Am not just a thinker. Actually more of a man of actions. But still sometimes I think, about why.
