Physique and Chemistry

Blog titles come naturally to me at times and I need to craft them at times. Even the crafting is natural on occasions like this one today, whereas, its just a patchwork of a quilt on less rosy occasions.

Physique has been at the forefront of my fruitful existence in the past few weeks or months and I have every reason to cheer. Seeing words of praise and adulation being thrown upon me every day from unknown and known quarters makes my heart swell with pride and lungs swell with fresh air.

The last quarter has been good on the health front, and my body weight has corrected along with the stock markets in India and other BRICS economies !

Of course, I wud say its been a trend reversal for me, and I hope not to be bullish on my weight, since I think agility and nimbleness are much dearer to me than those lipid globules which should rightfully be a part of milk, ghee and cheese, rather than occupy pockets in my body..

Exercise is a stress buster and I am no health guru to re-state something new. Its just that ‘Experiential learning’ has its own joy, and when I tried it myself, the results are here to stay and devour upon.

Physics and chemistry go hand-in-hand and probably so do physique and chemistry. After all haven’t we gained adulthood riding our adolescent days on the sweet fairy tales of beauty and the beast. Well, maybe this is not the best possible parallel to draw, but think a little big and you know where I am getting.

In office, there are tasks which keep coming and going, and there used to be a time when a pile of defects was a shocker of sorts and the attempt was to call the routine FlushQueue( )

int FlushQueue()

{

if ( !emptyQ )

{

WorkHard( );

Panic( );

}

else

{

Party() ; // read AOE

}

}

While legacy code changes less, what has happened is the Panic() function is becoming less of a bugbear now, and is no longer an excuse to skip enjoying daily workouts or a happy weekend. Attitude changes a lot over time, and confidence is the key when things are looking nice..

Of course, the rain gods have probably been commanded by Lord Indra to wreak some havoc, and they have rightly obliged. Maybe the buttermilk which has long evaded the ruler of heavens was not offered in umpteen doses last year and so he’s unhappy with the state of affairs. The Sun was hiding in the closet of clouds, dark grey clouds probably called Nimbus and Pune city had become like sleepless in Seattle. But today is a different day and we are back to Sunny days, looking fwd to the last two football encounters of this mega world cup, which I have religiously followed.
