If someone smiled at him, he wondered why. If someone didn’t, he wondered even more. If a message arrived late, he dissected its timing. If a plan changed, he searched for hidden meaning. His mind was not a mind. It was a courtroom. Every small incident was put on trial. Evidence was gathered. Hypotheses were formed. Conclusions were drawn — usually catastrophic ones. One evening, Arjun sat near the sea, watching the waves. A child nearby ran toward the water, laughed as a wave touched his feet, and ran back again. No hesitation. No analysis. No forecasting. Just reaction. Just presence. Arjun found himself calculating the tide strength, the wind speed, the probability of sudden currents. The child simply laughed again. “You’re trying to measure the wind, aren’t you?” An old...
