Lame, who?... Me or the excuses?

It has been long I have not posted anything here. There are many reasons for that. In fact excuses. Or to be very precise lame excuses. I don’t know why, but they always come in the way between me and my interests, thereby killing them completely. I don’t have enough money and time to sue them. Other wise I would have put them behind the bars for mass slaughter. Although it might prove to be near suicidal for me, because I would have become a handicap without their support. But a brave man that I am, I would have still done that for the larger interests of me and myself.

I agree that these excuses always come to my rescue whenever I fall in the trap. They save me from the curses whenever I keep someone waiting for hours. They guard me from embarrassment every time I forget to wish my friends on their birthday. They are the saviour whenever I have to bunk office. What’s more, they have been with me since my childhood days. Just like a true friend who always comes to your help in your need. How can I forget those days when I have to cling to them for help whenever I reached school without completing my homework. I still feel nostalgic while recollecting those great escapes, after a bad class test or term exam. “The teacher is very miser in marking.” – I would say to my maa with an innocent look, “Other wise, believe me, no body could have stopped me from scoring 90%.” But when it comes to my interests, I must confess, they have been a deterrent for me. I would have been a better person minus all those lame excuses saving me by fighting my case, albeit illogically. I can never forgive myself for missing all those opportunities which I ignored. Who knows, I would have been a more successful man today if I refrained from giving excuses in favour of not availing those opportunities. But now I realise, it’s high time I defeat them and grow into a more disciplined person. I really need to turn the tide to my favour and make good fortune out of it. The fight is on, let’s see who wins.
