Today I had so many errands to run in town, by the time I was done, I was seriously looking for somewhere to sit. Finally I found an empty bench in the park. And just as I was about to sit, I saw this writing on the bench.. I refuse to sit here.. I will make a change. For a moment there I hesitated, but since I was too tired I decided to sit anyway.
I started this king around the message. It was meant for the idlers. Instead of sitting all the doing nothing.. Take a moment and make a little change with your life.Still I find the message funny whenever I try to read it behind the backs of those seated on the benches.So many young people are showing off their bodies to the best advantage in town today. The sun has coaxed people out of as many clothes as is decent, but decency is a bit of a moving target it seems.
It only takes the faintest glimmer of sunshine falling obliquely across the grounds of the City Hall to transform
the grassy lawns into what the beaches in Goa looked like in the 1970s but without the palm trees.

Yet here I sit in the dark interior of an airy cafe drinking Earl Grey tea while I cast my eye over the sea of flesh outside and start to feel old.
No, not old, never old just sensible, mature, with ambitions beyond a sun tan and definitely no regrets.
