MORNING WALK : VIGNETTES.

MORNING WALK : VIGNETTES.

SO MANY People with stents ! 

I look aruond again.

There were people, ladies as well as gents.Of various ages,Like me most of them  starting their journey of other side of the hill.

Their attire and general appearance suggested they were from various strata of society , economic as well as social.

They were of various shapes from, thin to fat to almost of the size that looking at them , first thought that came to your mind was "O Boy he/ she really need to walk to stop lugging around all that weight."

It looked almost impossible that all of them were such heavy smoker as I was.

Sight of matronly looking , on the heavier side,in Saree's and long to short braids ( वेनीVeni in marathi) middle class appearance ( no offence meant) convinced me that smoking, resulting in stent insertion, must not be the cause why all these people are walking around so early in the morning.

Being a "tube light",that I am it finally dawned on me there must be other reasons.After some deep thinking I realised that due to social media and general talk/gossip  amongst the people of that age group,starting to suffer from various diseases,has resulted in tremendous health health conscientiousness.Realisation finally dawned on them that morning walk was one comparatively easier way to maintain some semblance of good health and to prevent visits to doctors and save on medical expenses.May be some of them were indeed undertaking this chore(?) on doctors advice.

I was very happy to have solved the riddle of so many people with stents. Number of people walking around in the morning never worried me there after.

I was the only gunk who had to have two stents,one of them a stent in stent inserted to start my morning walk.  Finally as they say better late than never.
