& so it has started.....

Yes, bye bye weekends
For the next 12 weeks, it will be "Introduction to marketing","Financial & Cost Accounting", " Business Economics" & "Business Mathematics".
They will be a part of my life for the next 2 years, in some form of the other.

Marketing, i can take. Part of it is what i do for a living,other parts intresting enough....
Economics - i always found boring, but today i am scared. I have been terrorised. We were made aware of words like boom, reccession, deppression, recovery, inflation (all forms - creeping, running, hyper/galloping & what not) & i pray to God, please dont let our economy become like Zimbabwe's!!! & i pray for those suffering in Zimbabwe.
Acounting - was a first ball bouncer!! First lecture after the inaugral function!! but it seems OK, i dont have to duck to let it go over my head!!
Though my intrest level increased once i realised, Ramalinga.R.Raju must have been a pro at this to do the scam.....
Mathematics - Statistics.....not again!!! :-)

But,
No sunday late morning wake up (Ok, i used to be up by 8 anyways, Akash will find this tough :) )
No more sunday afternoon siestas
No hot chapatis for lunch
No visits to Mocha's
No reading newspapers with all the time in the world
May not even catch any movie on the weekends
Hmmmmm.......

To be unlike jelly....

In the last one month, i have had 2 comments from 2 different persons.....

"Oh, you were always big, but now, you have become roly-poly like jelly!!"

"Are asa jelly saarkha kasa jhaala aahe tu???"

Could be the reason why i got up & went for walk on friday & saturday.....& will do so tomorrow onwards.....aaaj to sunday tha :-)

Old friends.......

If you see me smiling for no reason, generally cheerfull & looking forward to go somewhere as if to meet anyone, do not think i am in love.....
But ya, some old friends have brought back some cheer in life.....must have been 10 years since i lost touch with them.....but now they are all back...... & unlike people, they havent changed a bit!!! Suppandi, Tantri, Hooja, Mooshik, Anwar, Raghu, Little Mini, Shikari Shambhu, Ajay, Jaanoo & woooly woo.....they are all as much fun!!! :-)

I hate women drivers!!!!! If there is no place to go, just stay there!!! Dont hit my bike!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Regret...

Generally i am not the type to bother with what happens after any deed is done.....i mean, i did the best of what i could do in the particular situation & then forget about it....thats how i have lived....in the present.....
But this particular incident, almost 6 years back, keeps coming back to my mind......just a day after we had moved to Airoli....now we had a doctor as neighbour then & i had not been introduced to them....mom knew them well....so it was dinner time and i was hungry & had just got my food when the door bell rang.....mom was in kitchen....i opened the door to see a young sardar & his mom at the door....looking very tense...at the same time dad started asking " kaun hai? kaun hai?" as if he would jump up & fight if it were a robber....the guy asked for the Dr., i told him he stays next door....they said its locked....i said then he must have gone to the clinic.... i said i do not know where it is....they looked at me for a few seconds, maybe expecting some help, & i gaped at them like an idiot....& they turned away and left....all this must have taken some 30 secs....
Now mom was also asking "kaun hai?? kaun hai??"....so i went & told her ......& she told me , arey the Dr's card is near the phone, you should have given it...go see if they are still around....i ran down...but they were gone....

Well, that was 6 years back.....but the 2 faces often haunt me...whats worse is not knowing what happened next...they never went to this doctor....did my stupidity (or selfishness....i was hungry) result in someone not getting medicall attention in time...or was it too late.....i'll never know....

I fully endorse the view....

Happiness is always a by-product. It is probably a matter of temperament, and for anything I know it may be glandular. But it is not something that can be demanded from life, and if you are not happy you had better stop worrying about it and see what treasures you can pluck from your own brand of unhappiness. - Robertson Davies

Best morning i have had in a long time.....

Got up at 5 in the morning.....& went to the airport, empty roads, sis for company, nice songs.....& a nice drive, sunrise on the way back.....must say it was a good morning !!

Only wish the roads were better......
