Rewind

To a post a long time ago after my first tryst with golf. And then today - I was back at the driving range. The after effects of a year of not having indulged was clearly visible in the swing, or the lack thereof! 45 minutes into it along with H - a senior from high school who is now a batchmate at b school (coincidence?!) - and it was slowly getting back.

Its funny how you can never unlearn certain things in life. Cycling, driving, swimming, and of late - golf! You can go without any of these for any length, and when you get back to it, its a matter of a short time and everything falls into place. Much like people from the past, who may be far far away for years at a stretch, and yet, it takes but just those 5 minutes of the high fives for everything to come back! Shaky and S would vie for this, and R as well.

All said and done, this time golf will become a religion. Intend to take time out at least twice a week. Spoke at length with SC last night and sorted out the first 2 aspects of my 5-3-1 year goals. Feel a bit more at peace with myself now.

Nearing the end of term 3 of 8 here at b school. Another week and then I'm off to Delhi for a well deserved break (I'd like to claim!). It has been weird - this time at school. I've changed so much that people would fail to recognise me. And I guess that all contributes to the haziness in the 3rd part of the goal. But its about time I pick up the pieces, and get back to building the unflailing image I was so used to having people see me in. Deep within, I question if its been worth it. Its time again for changes, and this time the kinds that puts me back where I was.

And then I rue the reduced anonymity here. I might kill this blog soon, and move everything elsewhere. Unless the urge is overcome over the next few days. S2 is being sorely missed! But I look forward to the new house in Delhi. And yes, I am well and truly on the path of getting ready for my brother's wedding. Squash and/or badminton every evening, I promise! And a lot of other things too.

And then there was joy!

the nadir that is so horrid
and then the zenith
makes the trip downhill
so worthwhile

realisation that strikes
and then strikes yet again
sorrow that is real and short lived
it is all so important

the bonds - moments in time
they last - forever in time
so touching and pure
that i always want more

the past is gone
and then the ramifications
the future is here now
joyous, promising, and how!
