When I was alone I said Jalebi!

Yes this is what I said out aloud when recently I found myself alone in the elevator even though it sounds really odd and frankly is a little embarrassing to admit on my blog. But it is the truth. If we stop and consider for a moment, odd thoughts, just like my sudden craving for jalebi, are actually not so uncommon when we are truly alone with our thoughts. Think about it. Have you recently been alone in an elevator or a conference room all by yourself? I can bet at least a few times this year. Haven't you heard the uncanny sound of your thoughts running in your brain? A fear of heights that you don't like to think about, a sinfully expensive manicure that you told no one about, a fetish for late night re-runs of the despicable Jerry Springer maybe? All in all it is a moment of truth when we are by ourselves because we can lie to the whole world but can not lie to ourselves. In this increasingly crowded world where information, communication and interactions constantly surround us and where socialising is a compulsion, it is hard to be alone just with our innermost thoughts. But if we make the time and keep our ears open, we maybe surprised at what we learn the next time we are alone. Maybe like me you will discover that you have a sweet tooth and get off the elevator to go back and get that jalebi immediately!
