The day started with me getting up at 9:30 for a competition, that happens once a year that begins at 9. I felt shit and I did deserve to feel shit for sure. But, not today, I told myself to be calm and try to be present in the moment. I read my newspaper and then relaxed a bit. Better, I had my breakfast and then booked an Ola. Now, the good thing about Ola is that it comes to your house, the bad thing is there are some morons there. One I met today. After waiting for about 10 minutes, he cancelled the ride! I mean seriously.

The first thought was to hate him and shout at him but then I instead chose to make a table topic out of it. Going on that road talking to myself, I met an idiot friend of mine. Let us just say, this idiot does make me smile. But, today when he opened his mouth, he asked me to check if a particular room in a building was open. Now, I was late and he asked me to go the extra mile!

Did I mention he was an idiot friend of mine? So, I went to the building only to realize that my competition was going to be held in the exact building. By this time, I was in love with that idiot friend. He saved me a lot of darn and a lot of confusion.

As I went on through the day, someone just came up to me and said that I must not click photographs. It is disturbing people around!! I mean thoughts started ringing in my head when I told myself to relax. I went off from the scene entirely to find myself back again. Oh! She thinks I am disturbing people, well, so are so many other people who are roaming about from here to there and I can do this. Or maybe I did disturb her. So, fine, the past is gone, let me take photographs in a better way, by not disturbing anyone!!

And then was the time, the time of the table topics and for some reason, my mind was not at peace. What can I do now was the only question I was thinking about and so I went to the room and asked my friend to give me a call when the competition begins. I went to the nearby computer and started writing, I started writing my thoughts and preparing a speech, just to get the structure.

I was tensed and there were millions of thoughts coming to my mind and my mind was focused only on one thing which was my breath. I prayed to God that when I go and speak, I am able to speak the best possible way I could.

After the speech, many people said many things, and I too agree that there could have been different things done, but what I know is that I lived in those 2 minutes 26 seconds.
