ok first the good news (as far as people around me are concerned) I have given up smoking.Now the bad news(as far as I am concerned) to quit smoking is tough...real tough.All this was a part of a bet with an old chum of mine(himself an avid smoker) .We both decided to give up sutta together for 1 month,whoever balks first pays the other a 1000 bucks (stupid me ???) Its been 7 days since I last smoked.....the going is getting tougher day by day.Its not that I haven't tried quittin before.In the last 12 months this is my 17th attempt at quitting...wait or is it the 19th.........ehhh...who cares ??? But one funny thing I noticed was that every time I tried quitting it was either the elements that conspired against me...I mean it suddenly will become cloudy....soggy etc....and with that kind of weather u just ought to smoke....or it will be my stars that shun me...I mean everything is going fine in life...i quit smoking...and suddenly things take a turn for the worse I am in deep shit,....and i just ought to smoke to relieve myself of my tension....so thats that...
for the last few days the newspapers are full of reports about Barak Obama's ( the democratic presidential hopeful for next years elections in the US of A) dirty little nicotine habit.It seems the Yanks just can't stand a President who smokes(atleast openly).But think of it...I mean how many decisions of importance have gone wrong b'coz of the incumbent's nicotine habit.....drinking I understand......but smoking.....gimme a break !!!!
As I am writing this post another bit of interesting info. has turned up on my google page.Its an incredible bit of scientific discovery in the making.It seems that people who damage a prune sized slab of brain tissue called the insula were able to give up smoking insatntly.....Voila.....as soon as I finish writing this...I am going to bang my head on the bathroom-door.....maybe ....just maybe I'll damge my insula and I'll be permenently clean.
Ok I am stopping now....my craving for nicotine is making me write all this stupid stuff.......my nicotine starved soul cries out for redemption....I guess u guys can't make any sense of all this........even I can't make any sense of it......but just remeber this :

"It's the will u need to leave cigarettes not WILLS "
