Are You Nervous?

Are you facing an examination? A dozen unknown subjects clawing at you?

Think of the person next to you in the bus. Perhaps she has an ailing father at home. Perhaps none.

Being poor makes you nervous? You couldn't afford the pizza today?

Think of the child living on the flakes of rolls sticking to its oil-clad papers. 

Taking off on a flight gives you jitters? Air-pockets? Landing?

What about the people living by the rail tracks, those travelling on the sleeper class, or the flight which got bombed down, uncountable body-parts.

Are you nervous? Really?

Loss of a dear one?Loss of reputation? Being blamed of being irresponsible? Of a heart-attack? Of a road accident?

Well, think of something. No, not  pancakes and maple syrup. Though you could do that too. Unless the slight thought of diabetes catches on too. Think instead that you have a many-million movie releasing day after. 

You are flying, eating, smiling, waving. 

Think of the families that would benefit from a 'hit'. Think of the loan that would not be sanctioned, if not.

Think. 

Are you nervous for a reason enough?

Think not. Do.
