Strike a pose - Turning 40 this week

This week I'm hitting 40 and I've been in a deep reflective mood, trying to analyse how I was feeling. My little finger tells me that some people are expecting me to feel a bit low and depressed but truth is... I have never felt more fantastic :)

BRING IT ON! I can't wait to embrace the new decade which lies ahead. I have flown over that past one with a touch of arrogance, never worrying about avoiding being blunt and flaunting my cynicism in the face of people. I guess, I can say I am quite lucky I got all the way to this oasis safe and sound and I have to show gratitude to life for having kept me within the boundaries of health, love and comfort. At times I could even afford the luxury of wasting time and THAT is definitely an undisputed sign that I have been under the protection of the gods.

Family, friends, frictions, flaws, frontiers, flirts, foundations, fiasco, foresight, forgiveness, footprints, fantasies, forthright, forward, freedom, frantic, fulfilling, foolish, feelings are just a few superlatives to translate two words: FORTY & FABULOUS! Abso-Fucking-lutely no regrets.

What the future holds in prospect for me? I don't know and honestly do I need bother? As long as there is giving / sharing / poetry / understanding / compassion / detachment , I am confident I shall never tread on broken glass

 Special dedication to a world full of dumb-asses: My heartbeat @ 40!

Magic v/s Tragic Recipe

Ever wondered how sometimes you can come out 
with either 
A Magic
                                              
 OR

A Tragic

recipe from the kitchen? Well, life is
like a soufflé which we are never sure 
of getting right at the first attempt.
It gets even more frustrating when
the soufflé turns out to become a  
pancake. 

These days I am getting all the ingredients
ready for my forthcoming birthday. I have 
never organized my own party so I just
want to make sure I get everything right.

When starting out to cooking any recipe the 
first thing is to get a clean dish, i.e a clear project.
Then you make sure you have the right utensils,
      in other words the right venue. You proceed 
     with the right dosage of ingredients, the theme 
    of the evening, and you time everything according 
    to what you have been taught. Then you go ahead
   with the set up-the. Eventually, after some tasting
    and fine tuning you do what french people call
    le dressage, your personal touch. Obviously, you 
     need to ensure that you have the correct wine to
     accompany your dish.

Here's a little tip: never tell your guests
what you are about to serve them, just in 
case the soufflé turns out to be a pancake. 
The most important thing, you see, is that the
pancake becomes the yummiest thing they 
have ever tasted.
