Are you rrrrrrready?
When I wake up on a Sunday morning all charged up, and scream “Are you ready for some noise!!!!”, I am NOT referring to music! I am talking about the Vacuum 🙂

Borderline…
There is a very thin line between Attention to Detail and Micro Management!
Appreciate the First, Hate the other!

Investments…
There is one thing that I haven’t yet understood is when is someone really upset or just saying it assertively here in Australia. Its confusing. There are times when in a meeting folks would be after each other’s lives, and right after the meeting are best friends forever! 🙂 I am learning for sure!
Anyway.. So I was browsing for mattresses last week, and walked past this very interesting high volume conversation 🙂 I would call it conversation because it did seem that the volumes were high, and a bit of assertiveness to it, but this was more of an advise which was being passed on!
A Harvey Norman employee (must be atleast 70, because he did look old, and not many 60+ plus folks look that old here), another one in his 50s, and a third one in his 20s were in the middle of a discussion. And the old man was saying out loud to the youngest one that “his generation does not invest well! This generation does not invest in themselves, but in more materialistic needs! How you look, how the world sees you, what you have, and so on.. Instead of how you would be when you are old, how your life would be when you have lived it enough“, and so on!I am not 100% of how true it is for the folks in their 20s, but I am sure that people at my age group (35-40) are lost at this concept of investing in ourselves! Not all of us, but most of us! We don’t eat well, we don’t work well! We are all after something, which will probably wouldn’t matter in the long run!
Investing in peace, and happiness, and life comes way lower in our priorities! We tend to put an investment in the house, buying a car, and such before the things that matter!
Can this change? May be! Maybe not…

I fear small talk!
I really do! I have no idea what to do when I have do small talk! The self help articles make sense, but its not for me! I can only talk sense, and not small!Why don’t I like it? Well…
- It doesn’t make any sense
- Specially when you are talking to someone you know for a while, and all you two can do is small talk! I’d rather waste my time somewhere else
- Its usually meaningless
- It doesn’t tell me anything about the person I am talking to, or anything about me to the person I am trying to talk to
- Its more like an obligation, than a connection
- Not that every conversation needs to have a connection, but in my opinion there should be something less shallow in a conversation
- I feel awkward in small talk
- I don’t know when or how to finish small talk and move on
- There is too much of silence when I practice small talk
- I SUCK at small talk, but that’s obviously already very clear
and this also makes me realise that I love conversations.. Conversations that can talk hours, and days and weeks! and you can then pause, and begin where you left! and I am just thankful that I have friends who I can get into conversations with!

Of Changing times
A lot has changed, or is changing, and at a rapid pace too! It’s nice to be able to find time and look at yesteryears once in a while!
Have moved the content from Chai Ki Dukaan to this space, and hoping to clean this up before heading on to cleaning up the dukaan as well. There are 600+ posts which were moved from Blogger to WordPress, and lost categories, which now will be cleaned up! Would start Chai Ki Dukaan afresh soon enough with invites to friends to contribute!
Also realized that I don’t really know what to write or how, so will have to just take it slow and easy and let it come back to me one day at a time!

Who! what! Whatever!
The secret my friend, is in who you are and what you are… most of our lives we spend trying to figure out what we are and what we want to be, instead of who we are and and who we went to be! -
Can watch you for hours when you sleep!
Its amazing how I feel when I watch you sleep… its like meditation! Peace!

Speak a few!
Would it not be wonderful if you were speaking to us already?
We have to figure out so many things by just looking at your face these days… and most of the times what you do is accompanied by air punches and air kicks! Cold or not, you do not like the blanket on you.. but we feel that you should… and at times we have force it on you as well because its so cold…
And what’s with the burping? You get hungry and rushing for milk is understandable… and because you are too hungry, at times you gulp like crazy is also understandable… but with Papa and Mama both trying to get you to burp, you don’t help at times! not good… and we know it troubles you when you have a stomach full of milk and air!
Please sweetie… let’s try and make it more milk and less air!
And its interesting how different doctors have so many different views on infant care! 🙂 Dr. Arvind Garg and a few others in NCR do not recommend any massage to you right now, and the doctor in Panipat is in favor of a regular massage.. and so are your grandparents! I am not sure I guess! Logically there is no harm in giving you a massage, however it has to be a careful process to ensure we don’t hurt you anywhere!
Hope you are liking it so far! Love you!

The most loved…
Someone told me that when an infant pees on someone, (s)he is going to be the most loved person by that kid!
And what do you know!
I was the first person to be peed on! Does not make me very comfortable, but I’d like to believe that I am going to be loved the most!
