Crunch time ... scrunch time

Comfort foods are the reprieve we have all resorted to at some point when under stress and duress and then like most nice things, there is the morning after guilt trip on the weighing scale.... The pressures of mundane life and the times we feel everything is going wrong and we need every ounce of support in everything around to tough it out through the patches of rough, are all aided and slightly alleviated by the small indulgences, the answers to those small cravings. Maybe, that is exactly what purpose they serve, what childlike pleasures are enjoyed thus are probably what we lead these lives for, all these struggles, so that ultimately, we can live in those very same dream castles in the seventh heavens we started so assiduously buliding when we were four. And the small nuggets that we keep gifting ourselves just help keep those goals in sight, so we never lose track of the big picture ...
....
... but of course, we still need to remind ourselves to search for that gym membership we put away.... cant go completely crazy u know :P

Sultan of grass

As rafael nadal is forced to endure the vagaries of the british summers and federer gets to enjoy the strawberries and cream under the cloudy skies awaiting all comers, its seems that the heavens have literally had their say in the support of a fifth crown on hallowed grass. A blazer last year and the understated 4 swiss crosses gracing his shoe this year speak of a touch of class the all england club is more than happy to accept as its own. But youthful exuberance is always a threat, especially when its bearer is himself the king of clay - makes for an interesting season of tennis all in all! Only once the contests are all resigned to history will the true plot of how the grand story is written be revealed, but sometimes, it is far more fun to be a witness to the scripting rather than a mute spectator at an unveiling of exhibits!

Up-swing down-swing

You always hear about life and its times going in cycles... and your frame of mind follows in the ebbs and flows of their nature. The effect of the peaks and valleys is profound though and all the same makes life all the more interesting with no montony whatsoever. It is strange however as to how almost nothing in life seems to come sequentially - all we plan never actually happens "exactly" how we have visualized it in our daydreams.. there is always that slight twist to it. Whenever there is one anticipated event that we schedule towards, there are always a couple of surprise packages that turn things topsy-turvy..... how often do we hear people say "everything has cropped up all at once... i can handle one thing, but ... EVERYTHING"


.... or maybe,
.....maybe....thats just me being a procrastinater ;)
