Much Ado About Something

When it is mango season practically everyone indulges. The vendors with their carts, fruit shops, malls, multi-specialty stores are laden with the finest. Seasoned folk make a beeline to get their money’s worth. You can bet that if you are stashed you will have your cart filled faster than the speed of light. When we were kids, the house was filled with baskets of the lovely fruit. We chomped away and licked the juice that dripped down to the elbows, moving on to the next. There was no reason why we couldn’t have more than one after lunch, dinner, and breakfast, tea, anytime! Today, the prices of mangoes have skyrocketed and vendors refuse to budge; we have no choice but to pay the price and give into this yearly greed. At this point of time, not many us really concern ourselves with the additional pounds and dive in. Why cut back on the goodness of nature! I diet (uh uh) and exercise (some) for the rest of the year, which hardly provides me with the figure I yearn for, but I keep on...

The time for reflection is here What should I do? Should I cut back on meat and sweet? Should I stop my tongue and a disdainful tweet? Should I comment on the negativity around me? Should I pray for that (negativity)? Should I give up on things that I love willingly? There are many ‘should I’s’ but not many ‘I should’ Perhaps I am caught in this Lenten mood? What is this period that has many in a flutter? It is the time to reflect on steering the course to an eternal future Mercy, penance and fasting are the key words When done with a full heart you are on the right path If wages of sin is death then I need to repent This time of reflection has a lovely scent A time to make amends come what may It began on Ash Wednesday.

In fact, giving up on it is no be deal, because you do not have to deal with the pressure – just get on with life without the huff and puff and heave ho – you just get by happily. An unmarried happy go lucky girl was scoffed at because she believed in retaining her virginity. People sniggered at this was because in their view – here was a girl who was always partying, had a series of boyfriends, but still retained her chastity. This was beyond the comprehension of a clichéd mindset! People opined that she was pretending to be virginal to retain her ‘reputation’. How stupid is this, eh? This is the general notion that every female who parties, has a drink or two, enjoys a cigarette,...
