Gave back my walker to the hospital yesterday. Started taking the bike to the colleague's (with whom i carpool) place from today. couldn't stop living.
i try to leave work early these days. To reach home, to my mom, craning her neck from the balcony.
i don't know how many decades ago i turned 18, but i am back to being a child.
*********
Finally, i spoke to lady Bernes of Femina and got my reward. i did not shout or try to solve their problem. just that i had sent my address 5 times. i am glad i followed up. The little rewards inspire me to write. i write for joy, only here. even the social networks do not give me joy, just some momentary gratification. everywhere else, i eye the rewards or i get paid. Money is what separates us from animals, like they say in Sienfeld. :-)

Heyy...congrats, Arunima-I was sure you'd do it, sooner rather than later, on both accounts- giving the walker back/going to work as well as getting your Femina prize issue solved..:)A big grin at your comment on 'money is what separates us from animals'...a Seinfeld quote.:)Ah well- I'd say it's an added bonus, besides the pleasure of seeing one's letter selected/quiz entry having won.:)
Cheers to your good health and also prize-retrieval!! Take care and enjoy mom's care.
Cheers lady!
