I do not commute nor ride any vehicle in going to the office. My daily route is powered by a 15 to 20 minutes walking. Some may say it is good for the health. It may be true especially during the winter season where pumping your blood is a must to get you moving. But now that the real 30 to 40 degrees summer has started, walking under the heat of the sun is a disaster. Thus upon reaching the office, I have to gulp more than two cups of cold water.
With this daily walking, I have accustomed myself to same scenarios and same people. Same group of kids waiting for their school buses. Same faces of strangers who are walking towards my direction. Same cars parked along the road. Same delivery trucks in the nearby grocery store. Same security guards. Same street cleaners.
However, there are few instances when the routine takes a break. That is, when I don’t report to work. Or, when I go on a different route which obviously takes a longer time. Or, when some unfortunate things happen like when I was hit by a bicycle while crossing a street.
Honestly, I do not know how to end this piece. Ha!ha!ha! Keep walking …
I envy the fact that you are given the luxury of walking to work. I wish I could do that.
