The After-Effects...

Have not been here for quite some days.. Nothing too much was going on actually... regular routine and hence didn't have much to write. It has been shit cold since the last week here (the feels like temperature was -20oC yesterday!!). And so my running is also suspended for now :-( 

It snowed here on Friday. Only one day of snow but it was pretty heavy and the town was white..! I was working from home that day and decided to go out to feel the snow. So went out for lunch, walked on the fresh snow.. felt the snow falling on my skin.. it was nice. I like snow. What I don't like is the after-effect. The walkways are so dirty now. Have to take off my shoes before entering the house else it becomes all dirty in the house and things like that. Thankfully its not slippery yet but I guess it will be sometime. The forecast shows better weather in the next week and I should be able to resume my running. Let's see. 

Speaking of after-effects.. two more after-effects that I don't like come to mind. After-effects of a heavy night of drinking.. and after-effects of a sour end to a relationship. The first of those is still ok.. as I luv drinking and this one anyhow fades away till the evening is back again. :-) But the second one.. I just hate it. And it stays with you for the lifetime. No matter what happens, the bitterness will always always remain there. Whenever you think back about it, sure you will get happy memories.. but with them will also be the bitter, sour, ugly memories. And you will not be able to smile about the happy ones then. 

Anyhow.. there are some good after-effects. A lot of them actually. The after-effect of a good run and a hot shower... the after-effect of spending sometime trying to cook something and it turning out eatable :-)... the after-effect of spending a vacation back home... the after-effect of achieving something you planned for... the after-effect of a heart-to-heart talk with a dear friend... and many many more. So you see... the good things in life will always outnumber the bad ones... simply go out and live it up! 

 I am on for some real fun this weekend.. I just can't wait.. more on it later.

For now, just a song on how I feel right now.. and I am sure that the weekend will comply. And I am sure that the after-effects will be lovely ;-)
