Fascination vs Reality

Sunday - the first day of December 2013

FASCINATION -
To wake up reasonably in morning and do my cardio. Post cardio, get ready and hit road on my Harley Davidson by 6ish, have morning coffee in Jalandhar McDonalds by 0800 and be back in pavilion by 11 - in time for meal. Post that, the day was to unfold on its own.

REALITY - 
Woke up late i.e. to say when I felt like. Suited up my track pants/hoodie/snickers and was there to do my cardio. Completed it in my own sweet time, no hurry. Undoubtedly I was late for the whole Jalandhar thing; then thought maybe i'll just do Ambala and back. End of cardio and my relaxation saw me chucking on bath and browsing some interesting webpages. Had 11am meal and by the end of it even Ambala was dropped. Thought of visiting my friend Capt. Suresh Sharma who previous evening was insisting to come see his overland truck under fabrication. Hit home instead and picked on my current read -  Not Without Hope by Nick Schuyler and Jere Longman. A fascinating account, and it kept me hooked till I was sleepy enough to drop it. Woke up, had lunch, visited my friends truck fabrication site and admired his ingenious engineering skills. He's working on a very innovative project, a first in India Overland Truck Photo Expedition Tours by the name of Green Dot Expeditions - http://greendotexpeditions.com. Back; hit my office for a while, did some work, ripped a CD, had a meal and returned.

Sitting here in track pants/hoodie/snickers; it was a day spent well. Just trying to take it one at a time I guess!
