aaah se aha tak !!!

went to a restaurant in agra for lunch, the heat out there was a killer and wanted nothing more than a good desi lunch with lots of ice tea and super chilled ac !!!

unfortunately power supply was badly hit so the ac in da restaurant was not working for starters, food was super spicy blistering my tongue (usually the threshold of mine for spices is pretty above average !!). so basically murphy's law was acting at its prime !!

like most experiences in life this too had a silver lining ...

the waiter saw that we had hardly eaten anything and had asked for the finger bowl, he said he was sorry and wanted to serve us fresh food done to our taste. i was really touched. 

i for sure will again visit this restaurant again as i know this waiter will ensure that i eat my food this time :)


a guy who would know not much about the word not know about the word management fundas converted a customer grievance to a customer delight moment.

i hope the big wigs of so called sophisticated service industry learn a trick or two from this guy.


doing beautiful !!

I have been travelling to the mini metros like bhopal, indore, lucknow, agra and feel proud to see economy thriving, best index are the number of malls, beauty centers mushrooming and thriving.

Yes these sights do make my heart swell with pride but somethg other than disparity that saddens me is cruelty towards animals common in all these cities.

I alway
s remember the words of mahatma which I think are the wisest words spoken against cruelty towards animals “The greatness of a nation and its moral progress can be judged by the ways its animals are treated” 

What amazes me always about we humans, we always want to look good, so that we feel good but why don't we do good to be good?

All our energies, time and money spend on acquiring the world to say hey beautiful when being beautiful is all about doing beautiful.

this moment !!

offlate hearing too many bad news.. a very dear friends father died, bobby am real sorry this happened. then couple of days back  heard a couple of other friends friend's father died and i was really very upset.

I always pray to god for a longer life of my loved ones the moment these things happens to other and try treasuring every moment i am with them.

I was touring and so was baba so called him up and was so happy to hear his voice and once i was back i was just treasuring the moments with my family.

but once i get over being upset i will get back to taking them for granted...

but this time round i have decided no more taking people who love me for granted and always showing how much i too care.. true life is too short.. live for this moment.. and treasure it !!!!!!!

its not what you have, but what you give that defines you !

was in bhopal recently, the heat there was draining off my spirit but the large heart of a little boy just made my heart and spirit soar up again

i was outside an hospital, and really loosing whatever little cool i was left with as i could not trace the car driver then i see this little boy who did not look from a well to do family was relishing on glucose biscuits, i was watching him to distract my mind off the heat and the agony of the wait, this little boy eats a couple of biscuits and then offers the other two to the hungry street dog, i was touched but the generosity of a four - five year old kid.

Not only that, he also gave the dog a share of his water, his thoughtfulness just touched me.

its not what you have, but what you give  that defines you !

wish we all too could be like the little boy, luckily i did have a bar of chocolate in my bag and this was probably my only bar of chocolate i was happy to give it off to someone with 100 % of joy in my heart.

i dont think i will ever meet him again but am sure this little boy will grow up to be a wonderful human being ..

thanks for reminding me the joy of giving :)
