Arun - I have realised that the aphorism about wine woman, and wealth is true, though I am still not so sure about the first one.
The piece actually got triggered by your suggestion at Barog to write about relationships. The first start point in such cases is usually one's own. And that leads to ones current situation. It reflects the evolution and permanence of two key relationships. The first part the matrimonial relationship and the last para the parent-child one. It was written in a hopeless, anxious mood as one would expect from a 48 year old, whose marriage is on the rocks, whose suddenly become aware that he has been a failure on all fronts, son, husband, career-wise et al. And the worst part was that the awareness didn't register in any way. One was still okay and game with ones life/actions and their consequences. Yeah there was the pain in the situation, but it passed pretty quick. No repentance or regret. No clue either as to what one is going to do with one's life, but that also isn't a worrisome aspect. Is this apathy or what!!!!!
Any way, thats the background to the piece. Now read it again and see . They are the hindsight aphorisms from my life...........Ciao
