I go the "blues" last evening because I had taken a very important decision in my life which involved "giving something away". I was comforted by a saying from the bible which preaches that "its better to give than receive". I felt very low as I reached home that evening. I fixed myself an "appertiff" and lay back on the bed with the TV screen flashing Euro 2008 replays but my mind in a rueful and contemplative mood.
The door bell sounded and Dojo scampered with a bark indicating that he was doing his "chowkidari". It was Bryan who had come in from his athletics training and my eyes lit up on seeing my boy. After his shower we wrestled playfully on the bed and Dojo, feeling envious, sounded a warning "woof" and jumped on us, as if indicating that either we include him in the "fight" or he'd spoil the "party":-) My "blues" vanished like darkness does when you switch on a light. We munched heartily on fried chicken and watched TV while Dojo crouched patiently with a hawkish look, ready to leap at the bone that would definitely be thrown his way
My "peace with the world" was complete when late that night I watched the enthralling "Germany v/s Portugal" quarter finals match. Though, I was a wee bit disappointed that Portugal lost because somehow I identify with them, being Goan and all (wink)!!!
