Melbourne Cup Today was Melbourne Cup day. Not a gambling person, nor a person into horses, nor into horse racing, I could never understand why an entire nation would stop for just a particular race.

On a day like this, I like to relax. Take in the scenery, a walk in the park and of course, a relaxing time in a cafe. Mind you, not just any cafe. Preferably, a quiet cafe. One that allows me to contemplate life. To watch the sun rise, or the sun set. To watch people milling around, but not to be a part of it. To watch life revolves around me, but not take part. There is never enough of such cafes.  ¶ 10:45 PM
