learning to like things

caught myself getting superstitious and worried about india's performance in world cup matches and i wondered, since when did i get so keen on this sport! this is all 'sangat ka asar'. living with a cricket fan has rubbed off finally.

j and i will complete 15 years of marriage this year, no wonder we have developed similar tastes. i was never a fan of chinese food till we started going out. riding horses was another thing i learned to do and eventually like, thanks to him. and now cricket - i actually read cricket news on the sports pages and am part of a cricket fans group on facebook! sure, this may last only till the world cup but even this is very out of character for me, who likes her activities more cerebral/ physically inactive than sweaty / sporty!!

this may also be my last few weeks at work here. nothing seems to have changed. there's loads to do with getting the other house ready, moving, shifting, daughter's shopping for her 10-day himalayan trek, driving practice lessons and generally winding up.

so often it is simpler to just let the time flow and things start falling into place. i like the fact that time passes, no matter what. inexorable and all that. whether you want it to or not. it's a wonderful way to deal with unproductive stress methinks.
