knowing to Noing

I have always been a believer of self. Don't take or give  unsolicited advice. Always thought that you wont know what the other person feels unless you go through the same and no two people are same.

In short Stupid :)

I of course have committed “n +1” number of mistakes, some I magnanimously, some I grudgingly, some I sheepishly and for some I was brutally cornered to  accept !! and of course there are others I still refuse to accept.

In short still stupid :)
Anyways today I learned something beautiful from my kid bro.

I had a friend whom the rest of my friends and family just did not approve of and I really could not care less because I thought I knew better and would always get upset with my family when they voiced their opinion on my choice of friends.

But an incident proved to me how right they all were. Of course accepting that the world was right and I was wrong is such a humbling experience I can do without as I love my cocky self or so I thought.

Hence I had decided not to tell anyone about this but then you can run but not hide from your own self and I disclosed it to my bro and that is when he said something beautiful.

Essence of what he said was : sometimes from very close quarter, everything looks so big that you do not see the bad and sometimes a bird eye view gives you a better perspective to life and people in it.

Which I think was very true in my case.

So I learned my lesson the harder way, hope you have a better experience than me but thank god its not a bitter lesson for me either :)

I guess I have to learn to be more of a sponge, absorb all that is around and then squeeze out all I don't need but absorbing everything unconditionally is vital and very difficult because of the year of self conditioning. But then improving self is an exhaustive but liberating feeling ... so here I go again with life, this time trying to be a bit more open  to start with ..

Dexter .. attitude galore



whenever anything new comes home, dexter has to smell it. Its like one of his fundamental rights as a responsible member of the family. Once he approves the smell, we all are allowed to proceed with the new stuff.

Yesterday I bought a new dress and forgot to get dexter's approval and we proceeded with life as usual..

at night when we all were calling him aloud to sleep, he just refused to budge from the living room carpet and that's when we realized he is mad at us for some reason and quickly all fingers pointed to me :).. I quickly got about making amendment by getting my dress for dexter to smell.

And yes indeed that was the reason of his anger !!!
once again dexter made us laugh and feel proud of his antics in a weird way.. we know that a non dog lover would think of us to be insane and we could not care less !!

and at the same time we are proud of dexter and his attitudes because he is not like some robo dog trained to listen to his or her master. In fact I hate the term master or mistress used .. makes hitler alive in my mind ... very creepy thought.....

when the movers and shakers moved with meaning and shaked some evil

read about the bickering between a media person and AB at a networking or tweeting site.. dun remember... it was in newspaper main column and in one corner was the news on a girl in an Iranian jail awaiting puberty to be stoned to death.

Its hilarious what the movers and shakers do in the name of Public Relation without any relation with the public !!

wish the media and media movers and shakers add a bit more substance to their actions.. please tweet.. blog.. fbing.. and whatever you do in the name of Public Relation, if a slice of social cause with concern is added, you guys could become heroes in every screen..

Ka boom !!

Been a while since I had something to say, not that things have not been happening, but nothing substantial worth a mention.

Feel like the under dog of the fairy tale like movies (both hollywood and bolywood) where  am living a non existent life and boom there comes the magic in my life and I become a super hero !!!

Well I had gone to Bangalore ashram of art of living to loose some weight and gain some sense, luckily or unluckily either things did not happen. (of course it could have been worse if the opposite happened in-spite of the fact that my resources in terms of sense is restricted to non sense !!)

had to get back to work with a lot of pending things to cover up so ya life have been mundane, boring and uneventful to be crisp !!


still waiting for my “ka boom” moment !!


this is me and my fav aol gurl
