Different folks.Different strokes.Period.
Quite amazing it has been to notice that people associate certain days with certain memories,by this I don't mean the memories of Gandhi Jayanthi on Oct 2nd or Children's day on Nov 14th. I mean to say, some very routine things that acquire prime importance in one's life. Either it is a case of changing priorities or interests in life it must be.



Wasn't it on the day ....
I wore colour dress to school?
Royal Challengers played against Knight riders?
I prepared vegetable curry and dosa for breakfast?
the stocks fell a hightime low?
I paid the premium of the loan?
I bought the ration?
I got my eye-brows tweazed?
the school was let off at 3 o' clock?
I got my pay ?
the maid did not turn up?
the exams got over?
the wedding of Abhi and Aish?
Kareena annonced her breakup with Shahid?
I watched 'Race' in PVR?
of my wedding anniversary?
of five days from my anniversary day?

What of the day of the month of the year? Too spice-free it is to use, isn't it ?

Who is that?

Who is that person who never ages.. Well, did someone say Rekha or Devanand? Hang on a second till I complete the question. Here comes the complete question:

Who is that person who never ages with respect to retirement from service?

It doesn't take longer to guess, does it?

However, to make things easy for the minds that gave themselves a break, the answer is HOUSEWIFE!!
Maybe, most of the ladies affirm this, more so the housewives.

How true is that? Hmmm.... at least with middle-class families.

Foreign Land

Not knowing the language in a totally different part of the world can be unimaginably shaking. Well,that's how it has been for the whole of this week amidst geeks who, come what may, never budge to speak in anything but Greek!

God bless the new entrant, be it by giving her the potential to catch up with Greek or to motivate others to speak in English. The first case is most desirable for the benefit of all, although the second case looks more like a sure possibility.

By the way, does someone know how to say 'Sigh' in Greek? If so, fill in the gap here. Jseuklk hlijoiskjh jdhfjhktlylt (This means 'Thanks in advance' in Greek :P)!!!!!

For or from?

One of my friends congratulated me for having fetched a new job getting along with it, relatively flashy features.
A snippet here...

K : Hey! Congrats. Glad to know that you are into 'that' organisation.

Me : Thanks buddy.

K : Big bucks, huh? I know...

Me : Well .... moderately, yes.

K : Cool...

Me : :)

K : So, you are gonna buy a house now, right?

Me : What???

K : I mean... a house. What's the problem?

Me : Dude, the job is giving me work-from-home option, not work-for-home option as yet!

K : he he he

Me : A house? In Bangalore? What an oxymoron!

One week

Catch up with all the good movies on the net.

Hit the last page of "Memoirs of Geisha" and pick up (being slightly liberal there,not expecting to finish reading ) "To Kill a Mocking bird".

Download the ever wanted songs from the net and store them in the mobile playlist.

Catch up with friends and relatives.

Wake up late in the morning. Take the much desired afternoon naps.

Stumble upon all the blogs that I would like to spend time on.

Just walk on the terrace gaping at the evening sky.

Take 5 passport size photographs.

Travel to attend medico sister's convocation.

Clean the clutter in the room.


Do all these seem far-fetched in the one-week unemployment period ahead? Especially the last one!!! Well, tough deadline to fulfil it seems like.

Oops! It's three hours past the onset of the jobless period and gosh, I have just seen two parts of the movie, 6 more remaining! I have to perform better! No hopes at this rate,ain't it?

Helloooooo!!

Milk charring in the kitchen.

No Grocery shopping done.

It starts raining and the clothes put out to dry don't get that immediate attention.

Husband depressed and wife in tears.

No talk whatsoever. 'Living' room almost dead.

Naah ...it's not the cold war between the husband and wife.

Thanks to the plethora of glycerine coated mega-serials which have to their credit a whopping number of hypnotised victims!!!

Gosh!!

Turn off

All this while I was admiring every piece of work on a certain blog. Totally impressed I was at the diction and thought process. A couple of posts and I decided to be a regular visitor. And then I see a post in which 'quite' had wrongly taken the place of 'quiet'. It can't be a typo, I suppose. Not that I belittle the value of the blog, but something averts me now! A big turn off!

After all, was it quite an issue that I chose not to keep quiet? Well...
