a new passion

Started golf over the holidays! Made me realize how out of shape I was even for such a low-activity game! But it's interesting enough and a 100% brain game so I have developed quite a liking - the complexity is interesting (at the moment at least!). Took a week or so of lessons from this pro arjuna award winner (etc etc etc) kind of guy in Delhi. Went and bought a basic set of clubs and shoes this afternoon - all sparkling clean without the muck so far! Feeling good even after having slept over it and no longer averse to giving this a shot for a few months and seeing where I want to take it.

As the family expands, music expands (3 bands active), work expands, waist expands (unrelated but fits!), I remember this Philippines country manager words that one can only play 5 roles in life at a given point of life with any focus on each. These could be that of father, son, husband, brother, friend, nephew, uncle, golfer, musician etc. etc. Interesting concept from him - let's see how this goes since I've kind of taken on 3 new roles all within a 6 month period! My guess is sleep will be first casualty, followed by either lower or higher stress in personal life (depending on the NET effect of the extra hobbies:-)).
