Life Is As We See !



Readers you been my strength to be connected.Today I attended my student's wedding. Her mother and me we are friends also. The girl was looking very pretty as they made a good pair. After a long time attended two days wedding. My friend was happy,tired,relaxed and tensed,a mixture of all feeling at once.In the meantime I observed a lot of things happening around at the wedding venue.
Now I come to the main motto of this blog.There were few other friends always grumbling against me that I don't join their group...kitty.... etc.I respect them for enjoying their lives in their own way. But some how I don't fit in their frame,so I have chosen writing as my passion led profession.

I spent two days listening to their conversation,of sarees,ornaments,recent trends,who got married to whom recently....and all that.Katyayani is furious over me for not joining her kitty. So she introduced me to some one 'We are all kitty friends except this!( pointing at me)Enough now... leave the job and sit at home!' Then I started thinking Katya is a 'happy go lucky ' person.In a given time she would talk on any topic,like saree, food delicacies,jewelries,fashion and relatives etc. Always smiling and talking  she likes to make friends as many as she could!  I  wish I could have that quality. My motto is reverse! I try to maintain rapport with limited ones.

Really readers,I realized ...I  missed all those joys of typical talks of fair sex.IT industry has made me talk to the point,get the work done and go home.
As I was coming home I introspected myself Somewhere something was  missing..... but my IT culture screamed from within 'how many of them could do what I am doing right now?' Wishing them good luck 'I picked up my way 'Had sumptuous food and came back to write this blog.
Katya, this blog is dedicated to you,enjoy life...keep smiling throughout your life.

Life Can Slap You On Face Sometimes!

Readers,
you know what happened the other day? Literally life slapped on my face! I was coming out of the office hurriedly to reach home ASAP.Usually I commute in a rickshaw. I saw a man standing near rickshaw. He was leisurely rubbing tobacco  in his palm. I told him my home address and he acted as if unheard!Then I screamed little loudly my address. He looked at me sternly ans said 'maaaam, this is not my rickshaw,neither I am a rickshaw driver! My car is that!'Ho pointed at a luxurious car!I was feeling just the ground should split and I should go in.He gave me a look 'what a waste you are on earth!'and drove off the car! I was feeling insulted,humiliated,and annoyed on myself.
You know readers I feel great pleasure to share with you such small and petty incidents. It gives me great satisfaction.

Lesson I learnt: Not to assume or presume anything unless we know very surely.Never to judge anyone by his clothes.They may be in disguise!Don't judge the book by its appearance! hahahaha

Bye

Life- And it's Youthful Dreams

Yes.
readers,I connect with all of you by sharing my pleasures and sorrows of 'daily happenings.' You know what happened today at my work place? let me brief....  I got a mail of a roughest and toughest looking car and description of its make.I just forwarded to all these three youths who share my cabin. They immediately got thrilled with the look of it. and started to dig out more information Anyway IT youths within fraction of seconds every information was there in their hand. Then started dreaming..... how about buying ...how to apply for loan.Every one knew it was highly unaffordable.But sarcastically they started dreaming. For few seconds I also was carried away by their dreams!
One told 'OK OK  then we can buy and do business... lets use it like taxi.'And the discussions went on in all directions...Everyone laughed to his glory and went back to work!

I being the senior most person was watching something else.'How fast my country is growing...probably we couldn't afford to dream also such things.'Now these youths know so many things.... they can stand confident ally on international platform at any given time.Somewhere in the corner of my heart I was feeling prosperous and flourishing.I smiled for having seen both the time.Flourishing and flourished.


Moral: Unless you think big you can not achieve anything. May be in the process you face lots of problems but the end result is just wonderful....!So dream Big!And you get a way to reach your dream......this happens......really....

wishing you all the best and asking Santa to fulfill your dreams.....in 2011!

Life is Really Beautiful!

Today as usual I got up early in the morning and was getting ready to go to office. In my hussle and bussle my son called me up.He is in USA working for world no 1 company. I was rushing to gulp something in the name of breakfast hurriedly.He told me 'mamma...just listen since three days am struggling to tell you this but somehow time fit is not there..mamma...I am really proud of you for whatever you have been doing...for the last 27 years am watching... you are working like clock monster!hahahaha... 'This made me suddenly stop for a minute and think....did I work like that or he thinks out of love...?
 Whatever it is ! I felt so soothing his words were  like solace to me in the morning.
I jumped up and started towards my office with double speed!The strength of children is the strongest!!



Moral: You can win the world if family is there with you.Dealing with family members purely needs heart not brain! For such small things do we need to attend big big sessions? show your love openly to you family members.....

Life Is As Light As You Think!

I have been describing the incidents happening around me with you all. The other day I stumbled upon one more incident which I want you to know too. Our manager is my student only. He is such a loving boy.


 Outwardly he wants to create a picture of him as a light hearted and floaty person,but basically he is a serious minded person. we were all involved in talking about some office matter. I suddenly asked 'Hey what is there tomorrow? Then our my student / Manger told me 'Maam tomorrow is Friday...hahahahha.Then I turned at him and said in a teacher's tone' Why are you cracking such chindi Joke?'Leave it to him.



I pointed at the other person who never answers straight! Then he burst into laughter'Hey maaam, it is my right too to crack few chindi jokes sometimes!!''hahahahahahaha' Everybody laughed....
Immediately I introspected myself. I felt 'a child within him is trying to come out to enjoy the light moment.'

We go to attend big corporate sessions on how to balance life and office work? Isn't it the way...I kept on asking myself...We shouldn't miss such small pleasures of life.


cheers

Life is like this also!

Old habits die hard.Speech is very important. Sometimes it may make or break!In some serious discussion if some one cracks joke without his knowledge it is the sweetest comedy of the day.Recently I cam across this incident in my office, which I would love to share with you all.



I work for an IT company. And I am surrounded by youngsters working with me. We have a beautiful team sharing fun.Team means all sorts of head we are having. Funny,serious,foolish,task oriented etc.Every one is habituated to something. One is highly addictive of saying 'no one will come to know....' He has been nicknamed in the office as 'No one will come to know.'
 


That fellow has the habit of saying 'no one comes to know.....'very often.That day we were talking on some marketing techniques.Four five of them gave some suggestion which were futile. And you know the boss was red! That day seriously the team was discussing about -how to go and get it clicked.....Every one was worried! In that situation This fellow entered and loudly spoke' will go for this trick no one will come to know....?!!!...'

The whole team burst into laughter,that fellow did not understand what made them laugh so loudly...

Then boss answered 'after all what is the use if no one comes to know...?'This is marketing Everyone should come to know....isn't it?' Then that colleague understood his slip of tongue!He mended it after this incident.
