A Lesson from Juggling

It came to be that the are 2 stress ball in my house taken from hotels. One black another yellow. And so, one day a week ago I have nothing better to do and started to try to juggle those two balls with one hand.

First I throw I ball in the air with my right hand and than catch it with my left, one ball at a time. I did that several times and it was not so difficult. But that didn't achieve my target of juggling with one hand.

Then I started to throw both balls in the air between the hands and catch it simultaneously. I repeat that again for several times and that was so difficult to do either. But again that didn't achieve my target of juggling with one hand.

And so, with both balls in my hand I started to throw one in the air, as soon as the first ball started to fall, I throw the other ball in the air and catch the one falling with the same hand. At first I only manage to do that three times consecutively. The most I can do was 6 times and no matter how many times I tried I can't make it past that.

So I started to change the rhythm of throwing and catching. First I tried a faster pace, later I tried a slower pace. Well suffice to say I still can't get the hang of juggling 2 balls with one hand (i sounds so easy!!) but now at least I can manage 10 consecutive throws consistently.

So, what's the point of this whole article? Well it's up to you to decide really.

The Environment

It's been nearly a month since I last posted. Sorry bout that, my internet at home was down and didn't have the time and energy to fix it.

Anyway, yesterday was all about the World Environment Day. Nearly all English dailies have at least an article on the environment. Layman, celebrities, politicians, NGO's and others have given their pledge to do something "Green" on that particular day. Even an established property developer stopped work at one of their site yesterday. Anyways I too have a few "Green" pledge to make.

One. To use public transport as often as possible at the price of punctuality.
Two. To use less air-conditioning at home and be terribly uncomfortable and probably be sleepless all night.
Three. To plant more trees (though in the pot) though it will reduce my already "area deficient" apartment.
Four. To use less water by washing my car only once every two months. (Currently, I only wash my car once a month).

Well that's about all that I can pledge now. I'll think of other ways to help the environment and make my life more intolerable.
