Rough and tough day. Had a rather heated discussion with a friend about something. Am contemplating whether I should write about it or not. Maybe later. For now, suffice to say that it got me thinking about the construction of identity and how much we hold on to it. And what about religiosity and political identity make them so susceptible to clinginess. Is it because life is so tough that we are looking for ways to be let off the hook? And strands of established identities allow us that more conveniently than others?
Started the day with a massage that was not good. I think Urban Company is losing its touch.
Raining now. Anyway, here are all the things I am grateful for. And now more than ever I feel it is imperative to stick to this practice, even on days that the going is endlessly rough.
1. Papa is well. Did not speak to him but no frantic urgent calls. So that's cool.
2. Resisted urge to order from out today even though I really felt like a treat.
3. Had heated chats with a couple of friends but it seems we are on a plane of peace today. (At least as of now.)
4. Spoke to another friend and I have a Diwali invitation. Yay! YAY!
5. House looked really clean and beautiful with the cloudy light coming in. Gosh, I love this space so, so much!
6. Walked up Pali Hill to withdraw money and it was such a gorgeous little walk. My heart Just swells with joy when I walk up this path.
7. Really enjoyed the khari twists and the bakery biscuits from Muhammad Ali Road that a friend had bought me. I love those!
