I am sick to my stomach ...

gorging on them beautiful pepper flecked milagu vadais from Chennai.
I am addicted to them things, which the husband lovingly brought for me from his recent trip.
I can down six of 'em and still not feel satiated. All of the Rujuta Diwekar plus Gym eating right shenanigans are therefore being forsaked. And my good self is not quite enjoying it.

So I asked the husband to put it away in a discreet loctation and hand me one every alternate day when I am particularly needy of my junk fix.

So this morning, after getting breakfast I go into the kitchen to check on groceries that need replenishing and there it was, sitting pretty, my milagu vadais. Sigh(!!!), so much for discreet.

Things that make you feel nice...

(with or without vino in your system)

1. Playing Scrabble
2. Trashing your opponents, by purely adding one alphabet worth 10 points on a 'triple word score' box.
3. Spending a pleasant Sunday afternoon reading on the patio
4. Drinking a concoction of tea, at half past four - a totally unconventional brew of masala chai flecked with chocolate and cinnamon and actually enjoying it.
5. Soaking in hot water with pleasant smelling bath salts.
6. Watching the hustle of life, while strolling on a quiet by lane of a busy arterial road

What do you do when...

Your head is pounding with the heat of an imminent confrontation, and your hand is trembling with rage. The rage that comes from a million questions bursting in your heart. The rage of the injustice meted out to you simmers inside like lava, waiting to erupt out a volcano.

Especially if you are a peace loving Libran, who hates confrontations.

You down some water, feel the liquid course through your very being and try some deep breathing.

If that doesn't help either, you write on your blog and hope to God, the negativity stops short of consuming you.

Amen!
