Of Nariman Pt, Marine Drive and calories.

Walking through Nariman Point on a balmy, windy day is a pleasant way to walk into noon. The roads are not very crowded and lunch time mania is still far away. It's very tempting to drop everything and go sit at Marine Drive, throwing all your worries to the wind. The sea beckons with its tempestuous waves, a cool breeze predicts another shower soon, cloudy skies promise some shade from the sun. Sense prevails unfortunately, and I go about my work. Marine Drive will have to wait. I shall be content with the little view of the sea that I get from my office(a patch of water in between two buildings, but I'm not complaining).

There's something utterly bewitching about the sea during the monsoons. For once, I can give up my fascination with clouds and look instead, at the sea - sometimes angry, sometimes rowdy, mostly furious. Huge waves lash at the promenade, splashing rock and humans alike. What fun!

What a day this has been. Just running around. No lunch either. Don't know how many calories I've lost, but I'm hungry now. French Fries beckon. And there's Gym this evening. Can't skip that... Might as well as eat the fries and work it out. Eat and burn, as Chewing Gum the instructor says (so called because she's incredibly flexible!). Sounds like a good idea to me, only I know I'll regret it later. To burn 10 calories one has to struggle for eons, but it's so easy to consume 1000 calories in a few minutes. Sigh. Life is unfair.
