A Week without Napkins !!!

Call me eco friendly or call me lazy but I have lived almost one week of my life without using one single piece of napkin. It started with last Sunday when I reached home after soccer and realized that I was running out of napkins. Since it was already dark out and running low on energy after 8-4 defeat I was not in high spirits to drive out and buy the napkins. So I decided to call my friend called procrastination and he approved my idea. The next day started cold and I woke late with my mind commanding my body to sleep more to wash of the physical wear tear of yesterdays defeat and mind won. The day raced down to evening and by the time I was out of office I thought why not go home change the business attire and put some casuals on go out for shopping. As soon I reached home to appreciate all my days work I decided to brew a cup of black tea to soothe my body and soul with the freshness and warmth of a hot tea. As the tea was brewing I opened amazon prime and just browsed to see if they had some new action movies over there and soon when i realized that earth was still moving it was 09:00 and then had to call off the idea of shopping. So that’s when I decide to use all the commercial news letters that I get through mail to replace napkins. So I identified the ones that are soft and could suck water pretty well. So I opened a new rack for my new napkin alternatives. That’s when I decided to challenge myself with this crazy idea.Then the next few days flew with me each day waiting for those news letters, advertisement that could fill my arsenal for napkin alternative. I never had so much of appreciation for all these advertisement that these big retail chains print than this week. But believe me though at times I cursed the idea most of the times I have been successful and water has been very friendly to let it absorbed by these alternatives..Now just one more day is left in my challenge to beat the belief that live without napkins is impossible :-). I will stick on for the rest of the day and who knows may be for one more week. But at times its good that such crazy ideas gives a different perspective and even play a small, a very small role to save the world.
