the little games i play

"peace of mind guaranteed"...thus goes the catch line of some insuarance company's ad.
so, how do you ensure your peace of mind? my gameplan's simple; i call up the spouse to tell him i am fine, and then, switch off the cellphone and mute the other phone connection. believe me, it works like magic each time! no calls, no hassles, no fear of explaining yourself, of being called back to work from a welcome break, or when you had just put your car into first gear on the way back home...nothing at all. ofcourse, the first part of the gameplan ensures that the family's peace of mind stays put; after all, even i can't be totally selfish ;)

a blue post

some things in life become a pain when they dont go away, and you wait forever, hoping they will. such is the case with what i call "my blue days". they have lasted a full 4 years now, and show no signs of leaving. sigh...

i have decided not to dwell on what could have been; i guess, it could have been, but it isn't, so it wasn't meant to be. so it's like the proverbial bird that i let loose, to test whether it would fly back, and it never did, thus proving that it was never mine. another sigh...this time a long one, an ode to all the could-have-beens.
