Of Resolution and Memory

An year long resolve for morning walks and exercises is slowly showing up. After many start-and-abandon trials, and finally a week of 'Later da' and 'let's start tomorrow' s, Sam and I set out today. Started with a walk, a few dumbbell curls and finished with skipping. But being the sort of lazybone that I am, I really wonder if this will be kept on for a few more days, let alone months. He he!

Have I told you about Nilavanism - that I display at times, much to my own embarrassment? This was one: The other day in the library, I was looking around the shelves, unable settle on a title. The librarian suggested that I could read Code to Zero by Ken Follett. Found the novel interesting in the start, but the story line seemed to be predictable. Twenty pages on and predictability turned to a sort of de javu. It took 40 more pages before I realised that I should have already read it before. Perplexed, I turned to the issue page and found that the book has been issued for the second time to the a/c no. at the bottom (that's mine), after a gap of 4 months. Cursed my memory and continued to finish the novel anyway. I still couldn't fathom such a breach of memory!

Won't it be a good idea to jot down the books that I read, to supplement my poor memory? Well, I do it right away..
