resting it out

Am supposed to be on complete bed rest, i should be resting it out. I am.

But more you restrict the human nature, the more it wants to erupt, burst out! especially when it knows what's it that it's missing.

I am not supposed to be here, but am here for a brief while and it makes the sensation even more pleasurable, the keyboards softer the monitor more alluring.

I select lighter, readable books to hold on my face while i lay on my back all day. Currently it is Small is Beautiful and each sentence i read it seems is written in the context of our own country. I heard it somewhere that King Birendra used to love this book and slightly understand why. And i also get perplexed a little at that piece of information.

It is a beautiful book written in the seventies which still holds good for an economics book written on the basis of research and data decades ago, the substance still holds good and beautiful.

So many learned leaders of our country not just political leaders but thought leaders fail to lead their fields - their own fields - why? when they are so learned, when they know what to do, why can't they fight the odds, bring in that conviction and just do it, as Nike says.

I got an 'activator' on my top five strengths (from Gallup's test), and can't just stand it when things don't get done. I can't stand it especially when things could be done and are not done, forget those who are ignorant and incapable of stuff. But when those who can, do not, it's simply unbearable.

For now, i am just resting my energies out.

what's it called?

Until you sit straight, you don't realize you had been bending all the while!
I wake up at night and can't sleep for hours....anticipation kills.

I go back to my orange. Mom takes the extra effort to find oranges for me, in this season. Fruit is better than juice they say, i am not sure - when they are preserved as well.

I go back to my book - EF Schumacher - a wonderful read - clears my mind - economics makes me pessimistic of the realistic world, it shatters the beautiful world we create around us, and jolts us back to the present. Sad thing - we hardly do anything about it.

I call friends, bosses, relatives to wish them a happy new year, i text a few, chat with a few. That's done. What next?

Fb - scan, browse, comment, like, post, find, go back to the past, find new friends! i am married to my husband after three years in fb- the fun part is, it collates all the picture of both of u together. I had a wonderful time reliving each photograph again. Its like falling in love all over again.

I look at the picture of the new born beauty to my brother in law - we wondered how she will have to learn Nepali, Newari, Hindi, Tamil and of course English!

Get some sleep!

weekend

Apart from the questions who will win - India or Srilanka and who will bat first, the next question on my mind is....

Will NEA give the few extra hours of power for the World Cup as it did last time during the Ind - Pak match?
