🚨 The Day Time Started Chasing Mr. Raj 🚨

Raj Malhotra lived in fast-forward mode: 

Emails while brushing, 

breakfast at red lights, 

“meditation” while jogging - he also once head-butted a ficus....shhhh ( secret )

His watch yelled 

STRESS: EXTREME LEVEL

Doctor: “πŸ’Š or 🧘? "

Raj chose to " pause " Disaster.

Walking meditation? 

πŸ’£ He moved so slowly that even pigeons filed a complaint about his speed.

πŸ’£ Single-tasking tea? The kettle stared back at him with boiling resentment.

πŸ’£ Mindful driving? He waved so kindly that a taxi guy thought it was a proposal 

πŸ’£ Mindful eating? One grape. Eating for Thirty minutes. As if Grape HR filed a case on him

Under the noise: fear. If I slow down, they’ll forget me.

At a signal, a traffic cop said,πŸ’₯πŸ’¨
“Beta, your body’s at a red light; your mind is jumping the signal.”

Raj tried one minute of stillness even at that comment/criticism
πŸ‘‰Horns synced like a bhajan. Rain smelled like childhood.
πŸ‘‰ He called his mom. He let a stranger take the last seat.

πŸ‘‰ At work, his late email was so clear the team finished early without the drama.

Days later, Mumbai still sprinted. Raj didn’t.

He found the rarest setting: Airplane Mode for the brain.

Time stopped running from him and started running to him like a train that actually arrives on time.

He kept his inner piece (one samosa at a time).

 Raj didn’t lose his edge; he sharpened it… by not grinding it.

Morals 

Slow is smooth; smooth gets more done.

  • Busy ≠ useful. Clarity beats chaos.

  • Rest is fuel, not failure.

  • Kind beats fast. People remember how you made them feel.

  • Pause breaks panic’s pattern. One minute can reset an entire day.
