I Do Nothing....

Few days back I visited a wellness center close to my house for physiotherapy, when I reached their I was informed that my Dr. will be late by half an hour, so I have to wait. It was the reception area plus studio for different exercises sessions and for that hour yoga session was scheduled. I noticed a women sitting on a yoga mat, who was trying some yoga poses. I tried to judge her age but I couldn’t because of her perfectly toned body, but face was showed some maturity. While waiting I started reading some magazine. After a while another women entered with  yoga mat in her hand , she placed her mat in center of the room, and she sat in padmasana (lotus position ), which made me think that she was the yoga trainer.

After a while both women started talking, the yoga trainer asked the other one if she was working. She replied that she was working with some MNC till the age of 40 and she and her husband left their jobs 3years ago, she said they took retirement, they were so exhausted with the job pressure that they decided to take the retirement and not to work anymore. It changes the expression of yoga trainer that how someone can do nothing for living!!

Since we live in a world where people are running behind money, work, positions how can someone decide to do nothing, thereafter very hesitantly yoga trainer asked again what you do then, first women smiled and said actually nothing, she said initially it was so difficult for me to answer this question that I do nothing, when I left my job I used to avoid this question, I did not know what to answer, and how to answer and why to answer. But now I feel happy in saying that I do nothing….. She looked very confident in saying that, than she further explained it was easier for them to decide to leave the job since they had no children, I could sense the hesitation in her to saying this sentence.  I knew yoga trainer will definitely inquire further, and yoga trainer asked after a small pause that why she do not have children, she further elaborated that what she meant is you didn’t wanted a kid or didn’t happened.

I was still sitting there and that question made me think, that even now it’s a big deal not having child, how does it matter to a yoga trainer ki baby hua nai ya kiya nai.  Why she wanted to know, why anyone wants to know what a one person do to her or his life. That women seems to be settled enough, she is enjoying her life, and she is giving time to her own self, her own body. Why does it matters that she have kids or not she is married or not. Is that the only identity we have .Is it necessary to be judgmental.

But it was good feeling to hear and see someone is happy even doing nothing!!!
