Dark circles under eyes

Awe!! Dark circles under my eyes!

Do you think these are the signs of aging and ugliness or signs of hard work?

Great saints

All great saints of India are on facebook. Hari Om!

This is my recent facebook status.

Do you agree or disagree?

Dad is dude

“Dude, lets go.” A young girl said to her father with whom I was discussing some business related thing. Her immature behaviour surprised me.
“Wait for some time.” He told his collegiate daughter.
“Dude, We are getting late for the market.” She insisted.

Do you think Dad is dude or Dad is dad?

My aimless life

My life is aimless. I do not have any definite target to achieve. I am moving where life is taking me. I am like a traveller who doesn’t know towards which destination I am heading. My life is not directed to achieve particular goal.

I have selected a target of moving to Naxalite area. There, I wish to teach poor children and serve underprivileged.

Do you think it is a good target to determine at a young age or should put it down for some time till I am older?

Basic necessities of life

Basic necessities of life :

Then : Food, clothing and shelter
Now : Laptop, vehicle and girlfriend/ boyfriend

Do you agree or disagree?

Fall in love

“Please see my birth-chart and suggest me what should I do after retiring.” A good friend of mine asked.

Although we had good terms from past 6-7 years even then I didn’t know much about her personal life. I only know that she was unmarried. I never inquired nor tried to know the reason behind that. On seeing her birth-chart I found that she would fall in love and might get married after retirement.

Should I tell her that such a good period is ahead in her life or should I keep it a secret as my predictions can be wrong?

Blogging as a career

You should adopt blogging as a career.
A young woman commented on a blog of General Manager of a company. On an average he wrote only one post per month.

Do you think in the time of competition, writing one post per month is sufficient to adopt blogging as career when professional bloggers are writing high-quality posts per day or is she encouraging him to write more frequently like professionals?

Mysterious search

social networking sites in goa india

A person from Pune, Maharashtra asked google, reached the post 'Goa, India' on my site and spent 8 minutes and 34 seconds reading various pages.

Do you think there are different social networking sites in Goa and Pune or the visitor’s search and visit was mysterious? ;-)

Removed me from his blog roll!

Nov, 2009
And yes I have added your blog to my blog roll (the blogs I follow, depicted on the right side of my blog) without your prior permission, hope you wouldn't mind it.
This was the reply to my mail by a senior blogger whose blog I love to read. At that time I was a begginer and doesn’t know much about blogging, wrote to him to seek help.

Dec, 2010
A few days back he visited my blog read 56 pages. After some time, visited again and read 46 pages. He visited the sitemeter of my blog. And then deleted me from his blog roll.

I wote an email to him.
Thanks for keeping my blog in ur reading list for nearabout one year. :) I will be glad to hear any suggestions from ur side.
He didn’t reply.

Should I write one more mail to him as he was the first person to motivate me when I started writing and at that time it was needed the most or should not worry about that at all as nobody visited my blog via his blog except his visits?

Mud cocoons

Phew! An insect prepared earthen cocoons on the cloth which I used as cover.

Should I remove the mud cocoons or keep them till adult insects break the cocoons?

Gud nite

Gud nite…
This message appeared on my mobile from Mr. ‘J’ which I read in the morning. Yesterday, I first time met Mr. ‘J’ during a brief business meeting. There was no conversation with him before, personally or virtually. This was the only message which I received from his side.

During the daytime I didn’t receive any message. In the evening I received one more message from him as :
Gud nite

Do you think I should respond to that person for courtesy sake or just ignore such stupid messages?

Honk! Honk!!

Red light
A gal repeatedly honked the car. In front of her car were two guys on bike. They were irritated because of her misbehaviour. Hot words were shared between the bike and car drivers.

Green light
The guy on bike kicked it again and again to start but it didn’t start. The gal honked more.

Do you think that guys did ‘tit for tat’ or it was coincidence that bike didn’t start because of some difficulty in its ignition system?

Sewing Needle No. 18

At last I found time to sew the curtains! Because of my busy schedule this was one of my pending works. For sewing thick fabrics like curtains sewing needle no. 18 should be used in sewing machine. I took out my needle box and searched for that needle. To my surprise I couldn’t read the number written on the sewing needle with my naked eyes.

Can you read the number written on sewing needle with your naked eyes or no?

Meditational experience

Millions of sun shinning on a starless night!
This was my status on a social networking site.

Mrs. ‘Y’ commented :
If the sun is shinning how it could be starless? :-p

I replied :
When one closes one’s eyes for meditation, one sees only darkness. This situation is quite similar to a starless night. During meditating one rarely experiences the shinning of millions of sun. It is a unique meditational experience.

What do you think I was serious or kidding?

Add up

With a few more grey hair, with setting of dark circles under my eyes and with ONLY ONE break up, I add up one more year to my life. ;-)

Injection

A 7-8 year boy screamed, shouted, cried, moved his hands and legs irregularly as he didn’t want to give his blood sample.
“It will pain me.” He said as tears were flowing from his red eyes. Tears covered his chubby cheeks.

Does injection gives so much pain or just a slight feeling of insertion?

Disciplining of mind

Mind is monkey which can’t sit at one place,
Mind is a monkey which is drunk so will do all nasty things,
And mind is a monkey whose tail is on fire which will destroy everything.

That mind, which behaves like a monkey is to be disciplined. It can only be disciplined with practice and patience. Then only that monkey will become tame.
A saint told a middle aged man.

Do you agree or disagree with the saint?

Contradictory comments

Two passer bys most probably a grandfather and his grandson watched me with astonished looks as I was feeding cow with eatables which were placed on a piece of paper.

“Its good to feed cows. It’s good especially if fed on papers.” Grandfather commented.
“If you continue feeding cow on paper, one day it will die.” Grandson commented.

What do you think one should follow or not such free consultancy services? ;-)

Fireworks : Enjoying or scary

As soon as the stunning fireworks began than an innocent bird flew in front of my eyes, not knowing in which direction it desired to fly. It seemed that the bird was really very scared.

Should the innocent creatures like birds and animals be scared so much for a short span of enjoyment from fireworks or even short span enjoyment from fireworks is important in boring routine life?

Take a deep breath

In the morning if you are struck in a traffic jam then I can suggest you to take a deep breath and relax! This is the only thing I can suggest.
An fm radio station RJ announced this.

Do you think if you are caught in a traffic jam then you can do only one thing that is take a deep breath or can also do something else to pass the time?

My comments on other blogs

If you're going to comment on blogger blog posts, you might try reading the post first, moron. You're obviously on a mission to get readers. There's a name for people like you.

An Anonymous wrote on my previous post.

Do you think that I comment on your blog without reading it or I comment related to the post content?

Chicks story continued...

“Last Sunday, I returned from London. The house was dirty as it was closed for near about seven months. It took me and my maid three days to clean it. And these pigeons had made nests on air conditioners. I asked the maid to clean up all the mess and put the chicks in green cloth on the roof of the building.” A middle aged woman told me.
“The smaller chick died of hunger as it couldn’t eat the grains given by me. And the bigger one becomes the food of cat or a bird of prey.” I told her.

Is cleaning of house is important than the lives of chicks or no?

Only chicks! No nest!

Chirping of chicks attracted my attention. I moved towards that direction and found that two chicks of different sizes were squeezed one upon the other on a cloth in the corner of the building’s roof.

I was quiet shocked to see pigeon chicks without any nest near by.

Did you think parent pigeons were creative or lazy?

Measuring LOVE!

Chandrika Shubham is measuring LOVE!
This was my status update on one of the social networking site.

Ms. ‘F’ commented :
How long is piece of string, my dear friend?

Actually I was measuring it in Litres. :D

Can love be measured or no?

Comments on my blog

A middle aged woman was telling about the books of world’s famous authors. She was keenly talking about what she had read in her whole life.
After patient listening for near about an hour, I asked. “Have you read my blog?”
“Chandrika, you write, you mean to say you are a writer!!!”
“I know I can’t write well. I am learning ABC of writing. But if you haven’t read the comments on my blog then you have read NOTHING.”

This is 150th post by me. :)

Begging : art or pressure

“Give me some alms.” A kid came near me and asked.
“No.” I said.
“Please.” She brought the empty bowl closer.
“No” I repeated adamantly.
She bowed before me; her head was on my feet.

Do you think it is glamorisation of begging or it is the result of great deal of pressure on underprivileged?

Never seen such a Zebra zoo before!

“Zebra zoo!” The kid sitting beside me pointed towards a woman who was driving a scooter. The scooter was moving with almost same pace of our car because of traffic on the road. That woman was wearing a dark pink colored shirt on which numerous zebras facing all the directions were embroidered. She was wearing it with a white dupatta and salwar.

On returning home on that very day, we coincidentally met that woman again. And this time kid exclaimed, “Never seen such a zebra zoo before!”

Have you ever seen such a zoo or airport? ;)

I failed!

“These days you do not laugh as earlier you used to. The dark circles have appeared under your eyes and the cheerful glow on your face in no more.” A good friend of mine asked. “What happened, dear?”

“Nothing, just over burden of work and too much blogging” My mouth said.
“I failed! I failed!! I FAILED!!! And this is my life’s biggest failure.” My heart said.

What do you think will I be able to convert my life’s biggest failure into my life’s biggest success?

Old editions of magazines

Yesterday, a message appeared on my phone screen as :
grazia- march, april, july, 2010 adition, femina- june, august 2010 adition, bazaar- march, april 2010 adition these r the magznes names. From where we cn gt all books

I replied :
Book shops at Gurgaon.

Someone known sent me this message; I forwarded it to u as such. These will be available on railway platform bookstalls ONLY. That was to improve ur general knowledge. :)

What do you like to read magazines whose reading material never gets old or whose reading material fades with time?
