Taking a Tumble!

Restoration at the City Palace, Jaipur

I have to admit the title of my post and the picture above are partially misleading. The painter on the platform did not take a tumble.

It is me who took a tumble today. And got it in my left ankle. A minor sprain but probably enough to make me miss a few of my evening TT sessions and I dread that. TT is the best stress buster I know of.

But I guess I was asking for this. Off late, I was really pushing my-self hard and unnecessarily maybe at that! So, while I was walking outside in the lanes where I live, with the merest bend in the road my body weight went on my left ankle, and here I am!

And then I realize my younger nephew (Brat 2) is also limping and he is quite sure he can play tomorrow! Gives me some hope, though I have to remember that he is just 18 where as I am not!

  1. That restoration background with the shiny brass pot in the front provides a wonderful image of contrasts.Btw….that fellow should have been wearing a safety belt and a helmet.Master Chan would certainly not approve of your approach. If you have practised your table-tennis as hard as they practice their kung-fu in the movies…you should be able to play standing on one leg. :o)Just kidding, take some rest. Hope you are able to continue your routine stress-buster. Warm water soaks with a lil bit of salt and some Relispray should do the job.

  2. Lakshmi I have taken Monday off! I hope that would help in recovering.I agree Paradox that the person doing the painting should be wearing safety equipment. As I said, I have taken off on Monday. TT looks to be out for a week.
