Little Realistic...

Dot Seven thirty I was in the Bus. I make sure I leave early so that I reach office early. Just a delay of about fifteen minutes usually costs an hour delay due to the slow moving traffic. So a better deal is to leave early. But today was a very unlikely day. Despite all my pre plans, I got stuck in a slooooow moving terrific traffic that in turn inspired this month's blog post :). Neither I've complaints about the traffic nor any suggestion to get out of it. First task is pretty boring and the latter is laborious. Just an observation i'd love to put up. When I got stuck in the traffic, I was about 3km away from my work place. Most of the people opted to walk rather waiting in the bus, so did I. To my surprise I didn't feel tired or irritated but was happy to be walking under soothing shade of the trees. Nostalgic I became seeing big tree on both sides of the road. It reminds me of the broad cement roads with huge trees in my home town. Reminds me of the early morni...

Conductor (to the lady standing near the driver seat): olag banri (come inside) lady looked at the conductor, didn't respond. (Disagreement was evident from her face). Conductor wanted a little space to move out towards the door. Also there was less crowd inside the bus hence he persistently said to the lady..... "kannad nahi aati? andar jao". Lady was equally adamant and said "main nahi jaaongi" Conductor (Couldn't stand the disobedience) : toh aap utro. Lady got really really angry and said "arre mein pregnent hoon. main nahi jaa sakti bheed mein". There was a silence around. All could read that "Sorry" on Conductor's face and there was a sudden shift of support from conductor towards the lady. In no time conductor did the best thing he could do. He asked the front seater ( near the door) to make seat for the lady. Everyone had a sigh of relief. I had a thought woving along. Why couldn't conductor be little pat...

Here are few expressions and experiences of mine. At one point or the other, we all experience this. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- No , it's not always easy to forget what people say. Worst is when they hurt your dignity. Why can't people just let u be what u r n what u wanna do. What's wrong in taking a long route n try to figure out what what u wanna do with ur life. Why the hell one should do what these people expect us to do. It's my life n what i do is my headache. Why is this world so much bothered about it? --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Me: Hello Doctor: I was about to leave. I saw u inquiring for ENT specialist and stopped. Me: Oh then I'm lucky. Doc: U r. Me: Thank you. Doc: So what's the problem? Me: I've dry cough from past few weeks. Here's is the prescription I've been given. ...

ಬೆಳ್ಳಿಗ್ಗೆ ದಿನಪತ್ರಿಕೆಯಲ್ಲಿ ನೋಡಿದಾಗಲೇ ಗೊತ್ತಾದದ್ದು ಮಾರ್ಚ್ ೨೦ ಗುಬ್ಬಚ್ಚಿ ಡೇ ಅಂತ. ಇದು ಈ ವರ್ಷದಿಂದ ಪ್ರಾರಂಭ. ಅದು ಒಂದು ಕಾಲ ಇತ್ತು. ನಮಗೆ ಗುಬ್ಬಚ್ಚಿ ಅಂದ್ರೆ ಸ್ಪೆಷಲ್ ಅನಿಸದ ಕಾಲ. ಮನೆಯ ಹಿಂದೆ ಇದ್ದ ಬಯಲಲ್ಲಿ ಹಾಕಿದ್ದ ಭತ್ತದ ಬಣವೆಗಳಲ್ಲಿ ದಂಡು ದಂಡಾಗಿ ಮೆಲ್ಲುತ್ತಾ ಕೂತ ಗುಬ್ಬಚ್ಚಿಗಳನ್ನ ಸಣ್ಣ ಕಲ್ಲು ತೂರಿ ಎಬ್ಬಿಸುತ್ತಿದ್ದದ್ದು. ಅವೆಲ್ಲ ಒಟ್ಟಾಗಿ ಹಾರದನ್ನೋ ನೋಡೋದೇ ಕಣ್ಣಿಗೆ ಹಬ್ಬ, ಅದೇ ದೇವರು ಹಾಕಿದ ಸಹಿ. ಈಗೆಲ್ರಿ ಕಾಣತ್ವೆ ಹಾಗೆ?? ಅದಕ್ಕೆ ಗುಬ್ಬಚ್ಚಿ ಸ್ಪೆಷಲ್ ಮತ್ತು ಇಂದು ಗುಬ್ಬಚ್ಚಿ ದಿನ. ಮಾಡಬೇಕದದ್ದೇ. ಇಲ್ಲಾಂದ್ರೆ ಈಗಿನ ಮಕ್ಕಳಿಗೆ ಗುಬ್ಬಚ್ಚಿ ಅನ್ನೋ ಹಕ್ಕಿ ಇತ್ತಂತಾನು ಗೊತ್ತಾಗೋದಿಲ್ಲ. ನಿಮ್ಮಲ್ಲಿ ಯಾರಿಗಾದರು ಗುಬ್ಬಚ್ಚಿ ಪರಿಚಯವಿಲ್ಲ ಅಂದ್ರೆ , ಇಗೋ ಫೋಟೋ. ಕೃಪೆ : http://sdakotabirds.com/species/chipping_sparrow_info.htm

When I read the article "Daffodil Principle" I was amazed to see how little work/day can add up to a big success. You shouldn't wait for a perfect day to start when u've an idea. No matter how small the idea is water it. Let it grow no matter how slow. The happiness u reap everyday in doing what u imagine with ur eyes wide open is incredible. This story inspired me to grow plants. I brought the first rose plant home on the day of Ramjan. I remember it so well 'coz that day I went to office, discovered an unexpected holiday on the account of Ramjan. Naturally, was very happy. On my way back home I found a bunch of saplings. Out of which a rose plant looked serene with a tiny baby pink flower. That was the start. I would water it everyday. Closely watch the sprout. One fine day the plant smiled with a rose. I realised how simple it was to grow plants. All you need is a plant and a pot (yep, soil in it). Water it twice a day. Eventually u'll see fresh flowers ...
