Lazy Sundays

When I take a memory trip down my childhood all the Sundays are irrevocably attached to eating beef.I can never associate a Sunday without Beef.After attending Sunday classes  in church we come home with the fervent hope of eating beef and rice.I think I realized and exhibited frustration for the very first time in my life on Sundays where there was no meat. Blame it on the carnivorous genes in my family.
As we grew older, the frequency of having beef was every other alternate days.. And other days it was fish. I cant imagine a single day where there was no beef or fish.

After I shifted for my studies to Bangalore for the very first time I learned that cow slaughter is religious thing and none of my friends  eat it.  I remember one day I got beef to eat with lunch when Swati (who is a Shiva devotee) asked what is it I said 'it is Mutton' so as to not make her feel weird or something.She stretched her hand towards my lunch box to taste some and I immediately apologized and informed her that Its beef. It took lot of time for me to adjust with that but eventually I started liking Chicken

Now I can survive without eating it for months.I can even survive without eating non-veg food  for months. I never thought I can change that part in me ,but it did..Nothing is constant! Everybody is a victim of changes!!

Football World Cup 2014







Its like all of a sudden I woke up from a deep sleep only to realise that football World cup is just a few weeks away. I am one of that kind who turns to become a football fan only when there is a World cup. So I inevitably become a fan once in 4 years. And this time its in Brazil.. yayayay!!! . And I will support a team which has more good looking players. Yes  I am crazy. I know...

Last time it was in SA with Shakira full on.. :) .. I am yet to see this time's official song.
I can remember the events starting from  1994. I remember having a T-shirt with the World cup in 1994. In 1998 it was my first year in Pre-degree where seniors ragged me and asked me to sing 'Un,dos,tre'.. :) ..  2002 I was doing my Bachelor's degree second year and couldn't even watch a single match as we were not allowed to watch television in the hostel. I was staying in a convent hostel and we almost lived a nun's life. 2006 I remember having a conversation with someone through smsing about the whole thing.

And last time in the year 2010, I had come here to Dubai to attend a few job interviews and whenever we switched the television on there was Shakira's belly..And now here I am in the year 2014 writing this very own post and at the same time introspecting my decision to move to Australia...

What would I be doing in the year 2018? Would I be active in this space? Alive and kicking?
