thankfully soccer did happen this sunday, and rain also chose the same sunday morning to happen....but thankfully the rain was more of a bully then a threat, just drenched us and then gave up when we refused to leave the field of play.....
and since i was already having a sore throat and a running nose, the rain did not dampen my health at all....
week has been good so far with pleasant conversations and quite evenings with friends who work in liquor companies, such company always keeps my spirits high.....and these evenings are all the better for happening after loooooong work days,
life is good... as long i have friends, and some soccer in my life, i am content.

another weekend passed without beach soccer, which is bad in itself..what makes it worse is that i was working on sunday too..had to attend some thing called " focus group " to research the probable success of the latest killer app product we are making...suprisingly women were more receptive to the idea, men were luke warm and we were exposing a high tech gizmo...
still, am optimistic about the success 'cos the respondents did not handle the product ......secondly i remember coke classic.. walkman...etc.. marketing research is not the one basis for decision making...
got the sniffles yesterday again...something is seriously wrong with my constitution, it no longer responds as well to mondays as it used to... my reasoning is that i build up the entire week in anticipation of sunday, and when sunday turns out to be a let down, then my system really crashes on monday,
lets see what i can do this sunday....
hmmmmm.......if i could run into dominique, now that would really make my sunday.

its been a number of days since i have been trying to think of the opposite for impending doom, cos thats how i have been feeling lately... the feeling that nothing can go wrong..that something great is on the horizon, and its impending.. if you get what i mean.
celebrated my birthday a few days back ...rather low key.. fell victim to monday morning sickness this monday. turned out to be mild flu and a tummy upset.
feel good now thanks to the respite, after all its been a couple of weeks since i got to play some beach soccer, with the pressures of this world taking a toll on my poor weak soul!! reminds me of the principle on which they used to have a wooden shaft on the riverboat steamers of Mark Twain's time. if too much pressure built up then the wood would go first, preventing damage to costlier stuff, also the wooden shaft was easy to replace!!
