Today was the recovery day, with precious few things done, and now I need to catch up with the residue of it. I felt that the old habits were returning today evening, and I need to be ever more vigilant against them. All though I still feel tired, I am quite sure with a night of good hard sleep I will bounce back better! despite sleeping early last night,I could manage only a fitful semblance of sleep, and woke quite late today with tiredness still in the body. That today was a holiday for me did help me to relax and let the body rebuild itself, but I still feel the tiredness and lack of enthusiasm and the opposition of my mind to think.
The coming weekend will give me many free days, from Saturday till Tuesday, and I need to either go out and enjoy or stay back and think.
Now that I have seen how kids can run up and down the hockey ground for eternity and wont even break a sweat, I have realised how much I need to change myself and how agile I used to be. The same I is now setting very low goals, maybe in the fear that if the same were to be set high, I might feel the disappointment of not achieving them.
So, I must learn to push myself in all respects.As they say, perseverance is the hard work that you do after you are tired due to all the hard work.
It is monday afternoon that I am writing this, and I am still weary and tired. What a weekend to have!
The trigger was the altius, inter bschool sports event conducted by FMS. Although I was part of only the cricket team, but I went with the contingent to see the performance and to cheer my friends. Two full days of courage, cheating, valor and luck is what I witnessed.
My teams participated in all the sports, with little or no practice, teams cobbled together at the last second, even for the events where co ordination matters most. And yet, I saw a proud display of heart, some potential unleashed at crucial times, and sheer selflessness. We were kicked out of all the team events but won a couple of medals in badminton, and carrom.
I managed to skip the dinner in 3 nights consecutively. Add the sun, dust and excitement sapping the energy out of me, and now I am so drained of it already…. Now, to recover and re-establish the routine…. with some new goals, some new resolutions for the new year that is so imminent…so pregnant with possibilities, chances, opportunities which might be hidden in problems….
