Everyone gets angry, what makes the difference is the way, how one deals with it.

Memory vs Pencil...

"A blunt pencil is better than a sharp memory" I heard my friend scream to someone on a phone. I was pondering on the thought. It just struck me how many times my father has told me this as I goto the market to buy things and end up missing something or the other. From then on I started to note down things which is much helpful as we tend to forget things.

Also after I started using the phone, my phone has stopped remembering numbers. At times I don't even remember my own number and have stored it in my mobile. Unfortunately I have cultivated this habit of forgetting my mobile phone at home when I leave out from home in a couple of occasions. With my brain betraying me, I feel like I'm an orphan child in a big city totally unconnected.

So when my friend said these words, I shed the pride of being able to be good with the numbers and ensured I get a pocket diary to note down important numbers and keep it handy with me always.

Happy growing!!!

I was discussing about 'life' in general with my dad yesterday and he said "any abnormal growth, be it good or bad is cancer".

Those words kept lingering in my mind and I ran a thought on it. I was amazed at the fact that how true it is... We think that when we grow in life that too in a very fast manner, its all positive growth but somewhere or other there is some damage that is developing alongside your growth.

It is always better to grow in a gradual and normal paced fashion where in you get your foundations strong and also you can have a check in every inch of your growth chart.

I found this thought to fit in, in every sphere of life... not just with one's success or growth. It also is very similar to the old tamil saying "Alavirku minjinal amirthamum nanju" which means "even when you have the nectar of life in excess its poison".

So happy growing!!!

People just use others to get their work done. Then talk so sweetly with honey coated words when they want work to be done and when their work is over treat them like used tissues???? What kind of an attitude is this??? They think they are too smart and can carry off such an attitude with great efficiency but they forget that the other person whom you are dealing with need not be a dull head every time. Just because they digest your attitude doesn't mean that it makes you smart. How long will it take them to question you back and you will be left with no answers...

What is wrong in showing people some respect and being a little modest????

I pray God puts some sense and manners in them...

Delhi ki sardi...

There was a time when I wanted to live in Delhi... but the weather is so cold now that given a chance I would flee from here.... I'm freezing in this weather. :(

For a person who was born and brought up in the southern parts of the country where the weather is not so extreme and who has never sported woolen garments, I feel like I'm a brand ambassador for woolen clothes. Name it and I sport it. :( It gives me a feeling of an alien :)

Thanks to the Gurgaon transport system, it is an awful experience to travel in a rickshaw in this weather.... It just chills your bone.

I only thank God that I did not have to live in Ladakh where it the temp is somewhere in - 20 to - 23 degrees..

Doing the household work before leaving to work is the highlight of the season. How much I crib to wake up from the bed int he morning... :( What a pleasant feeling it is to be wrapped in all possible beddings.. And what tops my hate list is the alarm that is set for 5.30 am.. :( grrrrr

and what would be in my wish list???

1) more warm clothes

2) uninterrupted power service to have my heater on

3) hot hot bajji (onion, vaazhakai, cauliflower)

4) somebody to cook for me

5) paid holidays

the list goes on......
