They say it’s a lot easier to win an EPL
title than defending it. Manchester City won the title today in one of the most
exciting seasons I’ve ever witnessed. It definitely is a great achievement but
we’ve all seen clubs randomly winning leagues and competitions and then
finishing in the bottom half the next season itself and taking another 10 years
to reach the top 4. I am not trying to say that this is what is going to happen
with City, but you cannot deny the possibility. Anyway, hearty congratulations
to them for what they’ve done today. Being an Arsenal fan, it makes me quite
happy.
And congratulations to me too for
successfully completing 50 days of Sauratra. In fact, counting Sunday the 13th,
I’ve completed 51 days. Not so unlucky after all.
The job is only half done though. I feel
like Manchester City today. I feel like I’ve achieved a lot but I also realise
that I need to stay grounded and not get carried away and give in to the
temptation in the coming days. The second half is the most important one and I
need to step up the pace a notch.
I clearly should’ve written more. I
definitely should’ve started exercising. I’ve done neither. I’ve tested myself
with booze and cigarettes. If I can deal with them, I am sure I can deal with
exercising and writing as well. So here goes –
”I
shall, Monday to Friday, till Sauratra gets over, wake up at 0630 hours each
day and exercise. I shall, come what may, finish my book before Sauratra gets
over. You have my word.”
I know it is easier said than done. I am
not guaranteeing that I’ll b successful, as I said about Sauratra too in the
beginning. But Sauratra seems to be going in the right direction so it gives me
the confidence that I can do other things as well.
Also, I will never smoke cigarettes again.
I won’t. Though I will continue smoking other substances after Sauratra. In
fact, I will also buy a hookah.
I will continue drinking once Sauratra gets
over. Oh yeah. In fact, I might just bathe in beer the moment Sauratra gets
over.
But what I will ensure is that I do not go
back to my old ways of drinking like crazy all the time. Although my scene’s
been pretty decent since I’ve come back to Delhi. Just need a little more discipline.
And that I’ll definitely get now.
I got a new partner for Sauratra today.
Joining me for the second half. And another was supposed to join too. And there’s
a third that I personally want joins this movement. If not a 100 days, there’s
always the 50 days that you can work on.
And thanks again to all my followers and
believers. Also a huge round of sarcastic applause for all the non-believers
and detractors. Dude, happens, don’t kill yourself over it. Up yours though.
Not a very interesting blog post, this. More
of a factual account of what’s been happening with Sauratra. But, who cares. I
am just happy about my achievement today. It’s been quite an eventful and a
happy weekend. Hope yours was good too.
Here’s a little gift for... Well... You’d
know!
