Speed x time

I have been thinking about distance. Not in the Bollywood style- yeh doooooriyaaaan…. kind of way, but in a totally different light. Not the emotional distance. Physics vala distance. Speed x time. Distance.


The one that we measure in centimeters, metres, kilometers and light years. Being away from our loved ones may suck, but distance does have its merits in certain other situations.

Distance allows us to appreciate the beauty of sky full of stars in the night

Distance helps us plan great holidays

Distance makes meeting a happier event

Distance makes us realize what we miss

Distance helps us forget

Distance helps us figure ourselves out

Distance keeps us away from people who interfere in the process of us figuring ourselves out

Distance allows us to wear whatever we want, away from those who don't want us to wear what-we-want

Distance helps us enjoy the movie better in a theatre

Distance (of a few centimeters) makes a kiss scene sensual

Distance lets you enjoy the view of the beach from kayak

Distance keeps the transport and telecom industries alive

Distance allows us to drive fast without being screamed at (well, actually only when time is a constraint)

Distance from something takes you closer to something else

Distance tells you how far you'd go for certain people, and how far others will come for you

Distance can give rise to beautiful letters and emails smss or bbms

Distance decreases the probability of us bumping into people we have shift+deleted from our lives

Distance heals what time can't

Distance allows us to clearly see whom it should be maintained with

Pointedly avoiding the cliche ... makes the heart grow fonder coz I believe in the concept of out-of-sight-out-of-mind!
