First & Foremost: Wishing a very happy birthday, Mrs Abhilasha Udoshi. Thanks for all those beautiful memories those we all schoolmates shared when we were in school. And you were suppose to be the most charming of us all. And for record, Yea friends, you might have noticed "Mrs" above. Yes she finally got married secretly in Pune, though it was an arranged marriage hahaha.. She has called and informed about the scheduled reception for all concerned in Pune this month end. And am really looking forward to it, surely it's gonna be a Marriage reception as well as School get Together.
I believe that when one is determined to overcome, a just
path shall form. I believe that bringing about an atmosphere of
‘everything’s gonna be alright’, actually does make everything alright. I
believe that pushing oneself to command gives one the impetus to
follow. I believe when you entertain only positive modes, the pluses
appear. I believe when you bring a spring in your walk, that the road
gets consumed quicker than before. I believe that when pain disables
you, you can disable it by ignoring it. I believe that not complaining
is the most valued complaint. I believe that words that echo similar
sentiment have been heard and read a million times, but when you
construct them yourself through personal experience, they read the best.
I spent a bad night. A night in pain due to spasms that kept hurting
my spine and back the entire night. After trying out various different
positions to ease the discomfort and failing, I sat up and screamed
‘shut up’. And having done that, resumed my attempt at slumber. I had
the soundest sleep for the following two hours before the alarm went off
to wake me for the morning gym routine. This is unusual. Not the
screaming, the alarm waking me up. Normally my apprehension of whether
it shall work keeps me half awake till the designated hour. But it did
not last night, or well, really, this morning.
I sailed into the gymnasium with forced enthusiasm and despite the
few odd muscle catches that occurred, by the end of my two hours there
was a definite sense of improved condition. The bounce came back, the
heat of the morning sun on the lawn was welcomed and the entire day has
been spent in spasmless wonder !! I wore a new dress. I changed my
watch. I wore a pair of shoes that had been ignored for long. I attended
to my bike repair personally. While riding to my house I reprimanded a
traffic offender. I sang along with the FM radio jock as one of my
favorites belted itself out from the speakers on the phone. I checked the
electricals in the house that were giving us a problem. I unpacked and
laid out the various gifts presented to me from the HR Conferences & seminar's. I
fixed my computer, discovering during the course that I had been using
the wrong cable box for my internet connection. I made calls to people
that I had been avoiding for sometime. And … I watched the cricket match with
great delight…
And I discovered that this was all due to the fact that I pushed
myself to a work- out in the morning, despite the vagaries of the
previous night.
I am content and painless – both in body and mind now. And I believe
that this has come about by the simple fact of putting my body back into
routine. When you miss the routine, the essentials of everyday, the
spasms of life shall forever bother you and become a hindrance. I had
subjected my body to much malaise and lethargy. Lethargy brings about
defeat. It nurtures weakness in our confidence and the urge to move
forward.
Just as putting your body in a routine gives one the desired energy
to overcome, so also does such act, dissolve the webs that may have
without adequate permission, entangled our minds.
The day has worked out just fine … and now if you will excuse me I
wish to get back to the ‘game’ for it reaches an exciting finish ..
Love to you, love to cricket, love to those that do not understand it ..
