Body positivity

 One of my colleagues, who had thrown down her hatchette (work tools) a few months ago, decided to turn to philosophy and wellness. She wanted to save all the downtrodden women who had nowhere else to go.

Last day she posts a video of her doing a dance similiar to a Indian raunchy dance showing off all her folds and creases. She went ahead and posted it online.

Probably that was her way to show the body positivity. We all start our journey with aim to a bright destination. We may not end up there. We row and row furiously but we will end up in some shore for sure

There is nothing as toxic as a sour relationship

 It was a year ago I met this couple from Kerala. They were just married and moved into this city far from home. I liked them and brought in memories from my honeymoon period. They had this chance to start life, with themselves, in a new town. It is challenging. So I used to check on them and took them out on dinner a couple of times.

One thing which I found off about him was, he had no serious plans about life and talked too much about his opinions. Then he started taking long trip back to his hometown leaving the wife here

So he messages me, after a long term, asking how was the rains here. I smelt something amiss. Why should he ask me, when he had his wife in the same town. I skirted around the question

And last day when I was on a not so pleasant journey, he messages again bitching about his wife and mother in law. I told him to move in with his wife and try ironing the minor problems out. I could guess from his words that her parents were not mighty pleased that he was lazing around.

Today he messages me again saying that women get arrogant when they stand on their own feet. So I should suggest him ways for him to get her fired. I was stunned. I told him , if you don't want to live with her, go your own way and let her live in peace

World Cup of last dances

 In my earliest memory 1998 and 2002 world cups were the best hosting handful of legends at their best and great footballing teams

It can't get any worse than this when a handful of old men who should have retired long ago arrived with a supposedly emotional, warm story of how they wanted a last dance. Instead they made mockery out of their game, cut a sorry figure and exited ,unceremoniously.

Cult creation and 'making of legend' is natural. But not when you make a story out of nothing and forget that your team and sport matters. Then you go ahead to use short reels and 'stories' to make a crowd believe that you are going to work out a magic when you don't have that left in you.
