Garam Masala

What I have not been doing.

It has been such a long time since I have played any sport.

Several weeks since I played cricket in the colony. Occupied with "something less important yet cannot miss" kind of situations.

Badminton - almost forgotten when I played last. What hurts more is that I don't see that I will be starting playing anytime soon. Sigh.

Squash - I have no idea what happened to this. No one turns up because of cost. The Club suddenly sucks!

Swimming - wanting to go for the last 3 weeks. Have not been able to. I went last week, stood in the queue and came back because they would let in only fixed number of people per batch and my number was not in the fixed number.

Cycling - Finally done away with the guilt. Gave the cycle to Ashish (for a month or two). The burden is off my shoulder for now.

I got a punching sack from Chetan. Practiced for a week. Chetan stopped coming and since then it has been accumulating dust.

Kalari - I have been so regularly irregular that I am now embarrassed to restart.

Waiting takes most of my time.

Mayada - Daughter of Iraq

Finished reading - Mayada - Daughter of Iraq by Jean Sasson- True story of influential woman in Iraq during the Saddam's rule.

Brilliant book, sickening at time to read about the torture in prisons.

Thanks Neelmani, for lending the book.
