On Tenterhooks

Well...the first question that you may ask about this entry is it's unusual name. Mine is not one that is self explanatory. So allow me to guide you through this.

As human beings we're always waiting for results. It's all a part of life. When we're in school and in college we anxiously await exam results. When we venture out of the education system and attempt to make a living, we are anxious about our next salary raise or promotion. Mostly, however, we lie in wait for a more lucrative opportunity to present itself. And the thread of anxiety continues throughout. When you fall in love - Will he/she? Won't he/she? When you get married and have a baby - Will it be a boy or a girl?

Basically, we live life on tenterhooks. We always wait in anticipation for what lies ahead. We are constantly awaiting the fruits of our labour (provided we put in any). So it seems apt for me to name my blog after an inseparable part of human nature. This is what we are, and perhaps this is what I'll end up presenting as part of my musings here. I hope you enjoy the ride!!!
