The Apathy

Time : too late in the day, too early in the night. The time when owls start to prowl, when spirits-good and evil start to roam. The time when things become blurred for a portion of the population
Period: the end of internship
Mood: disgusted, used, disillusioned, little nostalgic
Attitude: don’t give a damn
People: 2 medical interns
Place: below shenoys, Manipal, the abundant crow shit covered/layered area
Topic of discussion: nothing specific
Content: lots of curses, many pauses, no plans, more curses, blank stares, few more pauses
Excerpts:
Me: “Well. So, whats up yo? How’s it going?”
( Considering we’d just had dinner together, rather late to start a conversation, but considering the given time, age, and era, quite understandable)
Her: “Nothing much.”
Head nods. I look blankly at greens in front of me. Not really seeing anything, but.
A few minutes pass this way. People of all ages, and profession pass our way. We don’t really see anyone, except THEM. The ones who do OBG. And then suddenly the conversation kick starts.
Me: “Oh man. Am so glad that stupid OBG is done. And then some *(@$%@!(@ ( expletives censored)
Her: Yeah… I know @*#&@#*!#$@!*#!
And then silence descends once again.
She interrupts
Her: “You think my pants are too low?”
Me: “Err, err, uh, hmm, uh. Ok”
( Laughter that contains traces of embarrassment, boredom, some wry humour, and various other unexplained emotions)
Fade to silence.
