Age-old Problems

I think a cruel joke is being played on me. In my teenage and twenties, when I wanted some shape for myself, whatever I ate couldn't alter my stick-like figure((My erstwhile colleague SP had once told me that I should've been on Fashion TV and I don't think he meant it as a compliment). Now, when I finally think I have some reasonable look, I have to struggle to keep myself in shape. But as long as I can walk at the rate of 10 minutes a kilometre, I'll feel fine.

One of my old teammates met me yesterday and in the course of talking said I was looking old these days. It surprised me a little because I've been thinking the contrary but she relieved me saying that it was on account of my grey hair. Now that's nothing new and the way things are going, my grey hair will only increase and I'll have no time left to colour them. Things have been absolutely crazy with the deadlines approaching and no wonder I think that I have all the symptoms of ADHD.

What with all the health problems we discuss on the lunch table(S is diabetic, Rajani is on the verge of it, A has higher cholesterol and I don't know because I haven't got a test done in the last five years), we thought we should keep 10 minutes aside for an after-lunch walk. We took two rounds around our building but it somehow felt very awkward. After two days, people started giving one excuse or the other and now we've stopped it. As for myself, I've started walking to the office again.

It turns out that we have four weddings in the pipeline instead of two. Two of my cousins are getting married too and all in the peak of summer, it looks like. Why can't we shift the wedding season to October?
