Week starts on Sunday for me and it has been an Awesome one. Woke up a bit late and then went for a usual 5 mile warm up run with mid intensity. Then some chilling out moments and juggling practice. Finally I recorded my first proper juggling video consisting of very basic tricks just for starters and link for it is - 3 ball juggling basics
Sunday, also called as Ravivar in Hindu and considered Sun God's day (I consider Sun as star as well as God). Colour of the day being White, but what makes this day special is the holiday associated with it. I read few books and for some it also Sunday Church day. Sunday's are considered to be weekly off for majority of offices, colleges, governments departments and banks and what not. In school days it was a good day to wake up late but you easily get bored since majority of school mates don't meet each other.
Most of Sunday special stuffs have been associated with childhood. Now-a-days they ain't as exciting. Dad used to be home on Sundays. Horse rides and garden trip with dad and my bro used to be the best part. Also there used to be few Sunday special comedy shows on Sony television (I don't remember the name though) which made sure that each Sunday begins with a roll on the floor laughter :) Playing cricket for years on Sunday became a ritual. This is the only day when all would be free. You work 5-6 days a week and still gather tremendous amount of energy required for sports on Sunday and that is what makes it more awesome. Mothers day, Fathers day, Friendship and what not, all are celebrated on Sunday and making it more happening.
Then there used to be Formula 1 races which I used to follow so much once upon a time. Alternate weeks and at 4.30 pm star sports. If there was any other sport finals, it would be played on Sunday too. There were and still are too many reasons to be Happy about Sunday. The new dimension running along with job has made Sunday a LONG SLOW RUN/distance (LSD is what they call it). You go out at 9 am and still streets would be empty and air would be fresh and full of oxygen. One section of my running passes through a playground and you can see small and big boys playing cricket or football and some just chilling out with their buddies.
Don't know what happens to body and stomach since on Sunday there is simple no mood and hunger for dinner. So it is generally light and some variety, like idli/dosa or some new biryani type recipe by Mom. Ice cream to end the day, what more should I ask for ? There is other side of it too, a small one. You can't find a top without a bottom. Likewise at ties Sunday becomes the day for house cleaning and so the rest part is gone. Going to religious function or marriages on Sunday may take a toll on your body if its for too long duration. Being in Mumbai you just can't ignore the locals (railway). There is mega block and less trains running which don't stop on all stations. If you think commuters face the problem think of the maintenance workers or officials who look after the entire stuff. They really miss out a whole of Sunday and lot of crucial family time. It is for the bigger cause for the safety of travelers and for their money too. Recent derailments have forced me to rethink on the sincerity by which the work on Sunday is done and also a big question arises on the quality of new materials coming in.
Heard today is going to be some Big moon day and Moon being my favorite I am just not gonna miss it. Signing off for today and getting ready for Monday Morning Blues :)
