The Fire and the Fool

06 Mar 2013, Chennai..

Writing down my thoughts on smoking and how I quit smoking..

Used to smoke easily 2 packs, around 20 cigarettes per day... starting morning around 5 am till hitting the bed, it used to be my best friend hanging around with me all day..

Couple of months back, did an cost analysis on how much I have spent on it.. and to my shock, found out that literally have blown around 40 lakhs on this stupid habit.

So, one fine day decided to quit but that day never arrived until 18 Mar 2023...

Rules to Live by...

Weigh yourself every morning. The battle of the bulge wasn’t won in a day. You can’t be friends with everyone.  Don’t trust a profile picture. Not even your own. More times than not, you will be judged by your shoes. The best way to ruin an apology is with an explanation. You can’t learn anything with your hands in your pockets.  Eat like a local, tip like an American. The only thing you’ll regret more than smoking is all the pictures of you smoking. Never shake a man’s hand sitting down. There are plenty of ways to enter a pool. The stairs ain’t one.  In a negotiation, never make the first offer. Fall in love and take her to Paris. If a street performer makes you stop walking, you owe him a buck. Don’t play the ace if you can win with the king. When entrusted with a secret, keep it.  Stay up late to watch old movies. In battle, all cover is temporary. Keep moving. The heart is the strongest muscle in the body. Use it. Return a borrowed bike with a full tank of fuel....

19 Dec, Monday: an otherwise peaceful uneventful day ruined by an momentary display of anger. especially when the anger is diverted towards the wife.... One of the major lessons that have learnt in my marriage life: There is no use being anger with the female of the house. They have the power to bring you down and spoil your mood with all sort of dramatical theatrics possible in every way.  "That day also u told like that and i was deeply hurt " - one of my wife's favorite dialogue.. my brain in wired in a way that I do not remember what happened 20 min back.. for me to recollect some thing which i might have said or done in the past is like me looking into an vast enormous universe and trying to find an little pebble - IT can never happen.. I can never recollect..  There are more fascinating things the female can display while you are angry on her : Like an sudden Tsunami erupting out of the ocean, the female can erupt tears out of no where... An man can survive even an...
