Where to live?

To-day’s society is becoming more or less unsocial.It is not as it was some 50 or 60 yrs back not even 40 yrs back. We are now habituated to tolerate everything .I remember when I was only 23 yrs old I joined a company in a city. On the first day at the time of returning home I purchased a pack of cigarette and at the time of lighting an old man holding my hand and asked me ,"son! why you are smoking?its your tender age,don’t you have any of your parents here? Are they permitting you to smoke?” At that time I was furious but just showing respect to an old person I remained silent. After some years I faced such a situation when I saw a school going child smoking and I started giving him advise as I was advised.And by doing that I got quick answer from the child,"mind your own business,I an not spending your money". I realised now a days its not proper to give advice to young generation.Is it not due to the fact that we are day by day loosing our social relation and culture?

Playing with numbers will never solve the problems of the general public..

I always was a cynic towards people who complained of experiencing misfortunes. I used to say that they do not have a positive attitude and whatever they anticipate comes to pass. “As a man thinketh, so is he.” But now I think differently. Some things can be learned only by experience. Some may be pleasant and some unpleasant. But it is necessary to have both good and bad experiences.All stress is created by mind and the ability to overcome stress is also created by mind. Some events can create very great stress and calamity.It is now an admitted fact that 50% to 80% of all diseases are psychosomatic. Many cases of cancer are attributable to social stress. Ulcers, high blood pressure, arthritis, chronic back pain, skin disorders, headaches, allergies, upset stomachs, asthma, hay fever, impotence, insomnia, diabetes and alcoholism are considered to be stress related.All stress is not bad. Medical investigation has concluded that under- stress can cause depression, indigestion, overeating, chronic irritability, fatigue, inability to concentrate, and many more undesirable habits. Too much or too little is not good. Now  a days in our Country no one is out of stress.Why? for living you need food and shelter which is not available for crores of people.The budget preparation is by the persons those who never visited the market to purchase house hold materials.How they will know the effects of the budget ? Only playing with numbers will never solve the problems of the general public. Only we have to live with the hope of God’s blessings and miracle.

The Bleach

The Bleach:-Hustle bustle: Another unusual but expected incident from Her. (Dates: 5th Aug-8th Aug’10)
She had come for holidays to Hyd from US of A for 3 weeks. From the US, for some reason she had just booked one way ticket and thought that she would book the return from Hyderabad after her scheduled Visa Interview (which is managed to pass, Maa Ki Dua!!!!!!!!). Days passed by and she did not realize her return ticket to US has not yet been done. She had to travel on 6th of Aug’10 and did not get her ticket booked till 5th afternoon. As usual as a normal goof up!! which she is famous for :-) she heard scolding from everybody for being careless (which apparently  has now become a music to her ears), she just takes in what she wants to and happily leaves the rest…. She somehow managed to get her tickets for 8th Aug, after sending tons of approval emails and cooking up some stories to the travel agent saying that her travel is kind of very urgent for the client. 
On 8th of Aug’10 she realized that she had not seen her cousin’s engagement album, so she decides to go to her place for lunch. While was totally engrossed with her cousins, on the contrary at her place her brother & mom were worried as this goof up!!! lady happily forgot her mobile and to top it like a cherry on an icing forgot to inform them that she was at her cousin’s place and what more one could expect from miss goof up is her bags, still UNPACKED!!!(Ohh lord!!!)...Around 2pm she realizes that it’s time for her to leave (very kind of her that she realized!!!), she reaches home at about 2.30pm, and with a sweet innocent face (the drama queen) requests her brother to pack her bags.
 Amidst of all this chaos at her place, something struck her mind, she had this strong desire to bleach her hands & face (this seems fishy!!! maybe she was hoping to meet some handsome hunk at the airport!!!) was persistent to do it in spite of her folks reminding her that the travel was today and not tomorrow. She manages to get into the car with her bags around 4.15pm and reaches the airport at 5.20pm. She managed to reach the airport counter at about 5.30pm to check in for 6pm flight (mind it guys this was for an International Travel!!!)…. The lady at the airport counter looked straight at her (BLEACHED!!!) face and simply said a big “NO”….(which indeed proves the bleaching was not that impressive!!! lol) She finally managed to get on to the next connecting flight to Mumbai, but thanks to her lovely stars that flight was delayed by 1 hour and she had very little time to shuffle from domestic to international terminal. At the Mumbai domestic airport, she was misguided by an airport authority and she happily assumed that her baggage would be transferred to the International Terminal!!!. As soon as she reached the International Terminal, the airline authority was actually waiting for her as she was the last person to board the flight to Amsterdam. She just had 2 choices, either board the flight or miss it for the baggage. With all the hassles & stories that she cooked up to get herself last minute booking, she had no choice but to travel without her bags……
 Moral of the Story “DO NOT BLEACH BEFORE TRAVELLING”………………. ENJOY!!!!!!!!!
