Thoughts undergoing Brownian motion

My mother calls me a "kanjoos", well, may be i am! According to me i become kanjoos and spenthrift according to the situation. Make me go to Shopper's Stop or to an ice cream store and within a second you will find me swaping my card away in glory, but ask me to take a public conveyance and all the genes so the so called "kanjoos makkhi" will automatically form a deadly concoction with my blood.
Same happened to me a few days back,i was coming from my office to home (which is hardly a kilometer away). The distance could have been easily covered by my foot, if i would have taken the "jehmat" to strain my legs ( flauting a bit of urdu which i know ;) ), but i decided to overload my burden on someone else (becoming too dramatic!).
I would not give more than 5 bucks to the rikshawala for such a short distance, after all i have to save all my hard earned money in this way only!. I asked a couple of rikshawalas but none was convinced to travel for a menial amount of 5 Rs (No wonder I am not a manager yet:( ). But i was convinced not to lose to them and would not travel by the riksha unless someone would agree to my bargain. Within a minute i saw a rikshaw coming from the opposite side. I shouted aloud "Riksha khali hai kya?" (leart this sentence from my mom, but believe me the feeling which you get when someone replies"No" to the above questions cannot be explained ;) ) Thankfully i got "Yes" as an answer.
How desperatly i wanted to sit in one ( thanks to the corporate life style where almost all your time is spent in sedentary position, other than the coffee breaks :P), but i would not show my desperation (after all i am going to pay him 5 bucks!!). Quickly came the next question from my side "Red Light tak chaloge". The answer afain came in the affermative. Before a second could lapse, came the third and the most important question "5 Rupee se zyada nahi denge". Now came the biggest surpize - a "YES", that too soo quick ( i thought now i am on the line of becoming a manager).
I sat down,like a princess who has won a battle - with a sense of achievement.
My colony had come, it was just a matter of a couple of small turns and then would come my house. Just as he was about to enter my colony, my eyes went to the paddle of the rikshaw and i saw that the rikhawala did not have one leg. He was paddeling and carrying my heavy weight from his one thin leg. I don't know what stick me, i asked him to stop there, took out a ten rupee note from my purse and handed over to him. He was about to give me a change of 5 Ruppees but befoe he could do it, i said "bhaiya rakh lo". Even before he could react, i started walking towards my home.
Throughout the time i was walking towards my home, i was thinking that people like me find it so easy to blame others, and if no one else, we blame God.We find ways to not to do things because of some very small shortcomings in us. But that person, who did not have the basic tool - his leg - to do his job, was doing it so flawlessly without letting anyone know of his weakness, without cashing out his customers by gaining there sympathy.
I don't know his name, do't even remember his face, but that man is definitly withing the list of people whom i admire.
Those 5 Rupees taught me a lesson which i would not forget throughout my life!

Idiot, Officially :)

Came across an article in a newspaper some time back which gave the official definition of an "IDIOT".

The article mentioned that if you are -

1. unable to count till 20.

2. unable to list the days of the week.

3. Fail to remember the names of one's parents.

then you are fully eligible for holding the "coveted" title of an "IDIOT" according to our Honourable Supreme Court.

Now can anyone please expain how do the intelligent people sitting there get the time to make such decisions when so many cases are pending in the court. Our juducial system has perhaps the lowest ratio of the number of Judges to the number of people, and this is how we utilise our "already crunched" time.

Coming back to the topic, by the above definition, an "illiterate orphan" has one more degree with him, the degree of being an oficial idiot. The "illiterate" factor is enough for violating the first two conditions and the "orphan" factor makes him an ideal candidate for such an epithet.

Instead of helping these people, we are making new laws to clasify them further with such indignity.

i would sincerely want our Supreme Court to utilise its time in doing some work for the betterment of our country rather than wasting it in making useless laws.

give me a break!!!!!!!!!!!

Human nature is so unpredictable....it is an absurd thing..becoming so mean sometime and becoming so helpful the other time. Most of the people have a sadist approach towards life..they get hapiness by giving pain to others...they prove their own self worth by demeaning the other person. everyone is concerned with their ego , their respect, their worth, they have to prove to the world that they are the best in everything. i hate these intolerant people, i hate the way they behave, i hate the way they think themselves to be superior to everybody else.i want to live an an atmosphere where everybody respects the other, where endeavours are appeciated and not commented at.
i dont want to speak to people like these, i am not like them, i do not want to be like them and i cannot stand people like them.

posting after a lonnng time....heard a news right now that one more player of India won a bronze medal in the prestigious Olympics...wooowwww...finally we Indians are breaking the myths that we are a bunch of inactive creatures having no capabilities to strive for any activity...quite an elaborate way of saying things!!
Well, to look at it another way...is this win an act of accident..are the Gods too favourable for us or are the kundalis of these players in the right place at right time... Are we breaking the laws if inertia and going againgt nature???
Jokes apart, the victories in the Olympics would definitely be due to the hard work of the players and i m very proud of the achivements which these players are bringing to the nation..this victory was long awaited, but lets not let this victory be a "once in a blue moon" thing..lets work towards it more, lets believe in our players and lets put in more hard work so that we make the world believe that INDIANS ARE THE BEST!!!

m happy today :)

i am feeling quite happy today..naaa, there is no reason behind it. Today is not my birthday, i have not got an appraisal today and neither has anybody sent me a box of chocolates or a bouquet of flowers today.Still, i am feeling very light hearted...the reason could be i do not have any tensions as such today, it could be that i did the work alloted to me at time last week, the reason could be i ate food cooked by myself today.....I am not able to pin point the reason, may be it is something which i have been taking for granted till date and may be today also as i am not able to know why i am happy today.
Happiness is lain within us and any miniature reason can act as a key to open the door of our happiness.....
So,be happy and enjoy life!!!!

relations

A relation is pure,simple and serene
When a relation is formed be it that of a sister-brother, friends, husband-wife or girlfriend-boyfriend,it requires both of them to change or weld so as to make the other person happy.The concept of "the other" should take the place of "self",but instead of changing,we start having expectations that the other person will change.
Expectations take a superseat and other things just vanish.The credit of this goes to human wants, we have the tendency to take,take and take.If we give even an iota of anything,we exaggerate it and want the other person to give us a magnified version of this.
Expectations take the seat of emotions.
percentage of love takes the seat of feelings.
I will not say that there are very few people who are lucky to have unconditional love because everyone of us is blesses with few very pure relations--the relations which we have with our parents, life partner, children and friends:)

Girls!!!

Well, by no means do i intend to challenge any laws of Physics, as i have huge respect for them, but one thing is going in my mind since long which some what defies the law "Opposites attract".Whenever i happen to sit at a restaurant or caffeteria, most of the times i notice that Girls are looking more at other girls than handsome hunks around. They are more interested in knowing from where has the girl sitting infront of them bought the maskara she is wearing or how can bright red sandals go with shiney black trousers or how can the hair of a girl remain at the same position after going in a rickshaw.
Being a girl, i can vouch that we girls always have an affinity for the the stuff the other person posseses, the affinity could be positive or negative but an attraction ( or may be a repulsion) is always there.The funny part is that,the girl who is stared at (more by girls than than guys) always knows this and secretly basks in that glory and the next day she dresses up so that more eyes follow her (so called) fashion stetement (and you guessed RIGHT,the extra eyes were those of females!!!!!!!)
