I haven't been able to write in a while. I haven't been feeling good about it. Somehow, it has just not been possible to find time. I am not working harder than I do. I haven't become lazier. Though I am certainly taking a lot longer than usual to reach office, and get back home- the traffic in the city has worsened! And, I have been watching the television a lot more than I do (mostly because I bought a new television set which is much bigger, smart looking and more desirable!).
Today, however, seems to be a slightly different Sunday. I am not doing much (this part isn't different). I have sat down with my laptop, attempting to write. And I have even got started - this is definite progress. I am playing some very old songs from a CD which I hadn't played in a long time- these are some of my favourites. And am munching on some tortilla chips (my other favourites) I picked up in the morning during my weekly food shopping. These are delicious! I love these baked and fried corn flour triangles. I love mexican cuisines all the way. It's a pity that there aren't too many mexican restaurants around where I live.

My fiancee (oh, this happened a few months back- we met, we liked each other, and we got engaged- this story isn't almost as simple as it actually sounds but we will take it up another day) just called to share a 'exciting news'. She said, she tried a new dress in a store, of the size that she usually wears, and it turned out quite bigger. That implies she has lost a kilo or two, and so, she was ecstatic! That is indeed exciting news. As someone who makes very frequent (and absolutely erratic) attempts at losing weight without much success, I fairly understand how much it means.
It's getting to 9 PM. I will have to rush to the kitchen to prepare some dinner. And, later, watch some television. And, even later, make some resolutions about shedding a few kilos to remain compatible. So, I will stop here tonight.
(Lesson learnt: When you attempt writing and eating at the same time, you don't go too far- at least with your writing).
