A couple of days ago, as I was watching Desperate Housewives, my dad called out to me to partake in our age-old family tradition of 10 pm fruit eating. My mum would judiciously cut a bowl of assorted fruits – apples, oranges, guavas, pears, grapes (not cut ofcourse, we aren’t that silly), banana, papaya – basically whatever’s available. That day the guava was really, really sweet and so I kept one piece aside to eat at the end, you know, to end on a sweet note and all. I ate all the others and by the time I came back to this one, not only was I kinda full, it really wasn’t all that sweet, probably cuz of the combined sweetness of the other fruits.

Now consider that in the whole life perspective. How we always save the best for last. Or atleast are constantly on the run expecting the last to be the best and in the race fail to savour the sweetness of now. When you reach the end of the line, you’d be surprised to feel you’ve had enough. What you thought would be everything would just be another something.

So people, the underlying lesson behind this post is that all of you must, and I say must, take time out to have fun now, rather than wait for the weekend. Call your dad and tell him you love him now rather than on his birthday. Meet your friend to hug her rather than hug her when you meet.

On that note, let me dig into this yummy banana walnut muffin, my 2nd if I may add. Why let futuristic thoughts of thin-Preeti mar current yumminess huh?*
