Slices of my daily life

When you are inside your home, you could be in any city in the world. It is only when you step outside that you are in one particular city.

If you don’t want people to judge you on your past, then change your present. Every day. Till that becomes the past people recollect and judge you on.

Hypothesis: Waiters are either programmed or dim or both The students: Yours Truly (YT) & TH (The Husband) Prologue: YT has extremely low tolerance to hot food/beverages. This has often resulted in a burnt tongue/palate. Consequently, after being repeatedly taught a lesson (by the lord above), YT now takes due care to wait till her food/beverage is cold. In restaurants she orders her hot beverage with her food hoping that it will be served at the same time as the food, get cold till she finishes her food and thus she can enjoy it immediately after the food and at the same time as TH is enjoying his hot beverage.

It is a very tough exercise I am carrying out…and quite involuntarily, if I may add. Presently, while it is still on, I have no clue what might come of this exercise. I only hope some good does…some wisdom !
