What do you do in a carpool?

I’m in a carpool with a bunch of extended family members.
The two next to me start gossiping, so I flesh out my Kindle and start reading some spiritual texts on a PDF. It is a good way to keep your mind in tune with the right wisdom throughout the day.

To no surprise, I am now mocked. Loudly. In a manner that they expected me to contribute to the “tea” too. Cute 🙂
I continue reading nonchalantly.

Which later reminds me that the same people have more than once complained to me that “they do not have time to read books or watch a 5-minute inspirational video because they are too busy.”

Who is NOT busy, my friend?
But we need to dig time from goss and tea and mock to being the student of life. And do that religiously when others do that to us too.

It was also a reminder to me that people are always going to find flaws in the way you live your life.
Whether it is a life where you make time for your inner self.
Or when you are out with others but choose to read instead of gossip.

No one is ever pleased, often for no mistake on their part.


You do you. Because you get to live with your mind 24*7. If you input trash of goss into it, do not be surprised with the output.
