Fresh like a flower

Life is a great teacher and a great leveller they say !
While I am still to see-n-believe the second part, atleast the 1st one sounds really true. Example is better than precept is such a true maxim, but why are these examples not always like the sweet nectar of flora ?
Anyways, chronicles of that chronic ache lie hidden in a mysterious Pandora's box waiting to be opened at the right time to uncan a lot of goodies for the benefit of posterity.
Watching TV has become a problem nowadays, with the FIFA out of fan focus, and its good old daily soaps that are giving company again. Of course, with stock markets swaying like the Columbus boat, there is no paucity of entertainment or news.
A couple of defects (or can they be coalesced) are keeping me relatively busy, and its been quite an experience trying to unravel the mystery of their origin; a fix sounds ages away at the moment. But I have accrued some benefits along the way like learning some Oracle backup commands along the way of the likes "alter database noarchivelog"....I also got to know what strace() does on Linux, with the caveat that it interferes with Oracle while trying to debug child process logs..Its been good in general though !!
The middle of the week was at its excellent best (i don't care if this is amounts to some kind of insult to M/s Oxford dictionary).
We had a ball with a game of football and it was a great game with fun and frolic all along and displaying a rare feeling of camaraderie which is limited to a limited circle in office at other times of the year.
Wednesday evening was action packed spending some quality time with friends munching over those subways and chips to give some crisp company.
At an emotional level, while last week was chequered this one has tried to be mildly volatile, but the calming influence of the Bhagawad Gita ensures that my nerves are in full control and I am brimming with confidence which was hiding in the closet for a long time.
The compliments keep coming from guys and I hope gals start noticing sooner than later that I am fresh like a flower, glowing with resplendent beauty like a lotus in a pool on a full moon day !
