Ideal

Describe your most ideal day from beginning to end.

In a bustling city where life moves at breakneck speed, there’s one individual who decides to rebel against the chaos—not through action, but through stillness. Meet Arjun, a corporate worker suffocated by deadlines, expectations, and the constant buzz of his phone. One morning, he wakes up and decides to do the unimaginable: he vows to spend the entire day thinking absolutely nothing.

As Arjun embarks on this peculiar journey, the world around him transforms. A morning walk feels like stepping into a new dimension, where the sunlight hitting dew-laden leaves tells stories he’s never heard before. Breakfast, once rushed and tasteless, now becomes an orchestra of textures and flavors. People pass him by, talking, laughing, arguing, but their words lose meaning, turning into melodies of raw human existence.

Through this silent experiment, Arjun learns to see everything as it is—stripped of judgment, expectations, or attachment. But as the day progresses, the stillness begins to ripple outward, affecting everyone around him. Strangers smile more, arguments quieten, and even the city’s noise seems to hum in harmony.

By the end of the day, Arjun sits under a tree, watching the sunset with a heart unburdened. He realizes that in doing nothing, he’s done the most profound thing of all: he’s remembered how to be.
