"How can one spice up one's life?"
Now, wait a minute before shooting out answers.....
There are several constraints playing.
I want excitement without too many people around...I can put up with a maximum of 2 and selecting those 2 will itself call for another post on the blog.
So for the time being , I rephrase the question: "How can one spice up one's life on one's own?" (ie., without any foreign intervention).
There are more constraints.
I like to try out some unconventional spicing up, which means no tv,no movies, no mp3, no chatting, no sms, no phone calls.....bored with all this and these are anyway making life bland and not spicy.
So, let me rephrase again: "How can one spice up one's life on one's own in an unconventional manner?"
And did I tell you, I am not much of a traveller... so please don't ask me to take a vacation or go on trekking( I have neither the mind nor the physique for that). Of course, I like taking walks in the moonlight ( actually even the moon can be dispensed with if there are enough street lights). But this is something that I do almost everyday and hence can hardly be regarded as a spicy activity. It would, in fact, be an antithesis for what I need in my life. So strike that out. I am more of an indoor person..so no shoppings either. I guess it's time to rephrase again. "How can one spice up one's life on one's own in an unconventional manner, staying indoors?"
The next option, which I would actually love to indulge in, would be to actually "spice up" things....I mean cooking....yes, some unconventional cooking, spicy and yummy. On thinking again, here I am even ready to compromise on the "spicy" part....desserts are also appealing. Puddings, pastries, icecreams..mmmm....
Wow...I think, finally, I know what to do.
But then.., wouldn't that fail the purpose of all those hours that I have spent and am still spending in the gym? Already with so many extra pounds to shed, horizontally blessed that I am, why would I spend money, time and effort to make delicious items?....to stare at it? Of course, I can distribute it to my friends or neighbours or whoever needs it.....but sorry, magnanimity is not my middle name. Even if it is, how would it spice up "my" life, if I don't get to taste my exquisite cooking ( my middle name is "modesty"). I am not going to bother rephrasing again..you know what I mean.
Let me remind you that I am neither botanically nor zoologically inclined. So no pets, aquarium, gardening, tissue culture, horticulture, serriculture and the likes ( I have no more "cultures" in my vocab-stock).
And I am a bad collector. Even as a kid, I could never maintain a decent collection of stamps or coins despite the efforts taken by parents and my sister.
The question still remains unanswered, though been rephrased frequently, the latest version being: "How can one spice up one's life on one's own in an unconventional manner, staying indoors and without engaging in any of the activities mentioned above and most of the activities that you are going to suggest( 'coz I am sure that's not going to fit into my idea of spicing up things)?"
But posting this blog makes me feel better. Maybe this is one way, I can spice up my life atleast as long as the novelty of this remains..after that I guess I'll have to rephrase again. So long....
