Musical medicine

Location: Ambattur Industrial Estate Bus Depot, Madras.
Context: I was looking at the muddy road as far as my impaired bespectacled eyes could see, wondering if I had missed the last bus to my place.
Voice-inside-my-head: “You know what, buddy? You dug a royal grave for yourself today. And you didn’t stop there. You lied in it and have started covering yourself with mud. You are as good as dead, dude”
The voice-inside-my-head has this habit of exaggerating things. One tough day, and the voice-inside-my-head forecasts Doomsday. I have been through tougher days.
I was listening to this song while traveling to my place. It is amazing how music can lighten up your mood at such an alarming pace.
