Haste.
I decided it was time to visit my blog. Getting ready to settle down to pour my heart out; I cut the season’s first mangoes. The first in Mumbai for me. It took me a whole 3 seconds to debate whether I should hit the keys or enjoy the mango. The choice is predictable. The sourness that immediately hit my palate confirmed the decision was a hasty one. Not between the 2 but the one itself. A day’s wait might have been a better idea. Sourness or no, a well cut chilled mango is a treat. Hasty or not, I love to be able to live with the decisions I make.

I wouldn’t have lasted out
(had been allowed to eat mangoes)

What gets my goat is when decisions are made for me, and I have to live with consequences. I waited all my life to grow up, and now that I’m here, I hate it.
Mangoes = manna from heaven.

A decision once taken is something to smile at
And it’s a beautifully written piece!
