Thought for the day


Don't be troubled if life doesn't treat you well,
Remember, everything that happens - happens for the good.
All troubles have a silver lining,

A lining called hope!



A light humor to start the week and a Monday!

The picture on the right is a true/real picture taken in a zoo. There were a bunch of monkeys enclosed within a glass window. All the others were playing around, and one particular monkey was positioned as though life had taken its toll. There was no beginning and no end for this fella. He was frustrated! If only monkeys could talk we would know!

Random thoughts!

Happy are those who sleep knowing that they are the most fortunate,
Happy are those who have everything in life,
Happy are those who have no worries,
Happy are those who know that every cloud has a silver lining,
Happy are those who know they have made the right decisions,
Happy are those who wake up knowing today is going to be a great day!

Happy are those who know the meaning of love,
They know it only because they love and have been loved.


Often to realize the importance of a person,
Being away from them,
Opens the door of acknowledging them,
Opens the door of missing them,
Opens the door of anxiousness to meet them,
Opens the door of joyous moments when meeting them!

It's morning!

Pat-pat-pat
Those were loud hits,
Was it the wind?
She yawned.
Boy! was it going to be a cold walk to work.

She switched the radio on,
Not concentrating too much on what was said,
She casually got about doing her morning chores.

"Snow showers"
She stopped - could it be?

Nah, they always forecasted "flurries and snow fall"
It always seemed like any other day. Dry as ever!

...........

All set for her 20 minute walk to work.

"Snow showers!, accidents, drive slow" - were the messages on air.


………..


"Let me take a peek"
She stood there frozen.
Frozen to see everything in white!

Could it be?
The first snowfall?

She grabbed her camera and ran outside...
Click, click, click!

Only minutes later she realized that she should have covered herself!
IT WAS FREEZING!!!

She quickly warmed herself back inside,
Covered herself,
And set out for a special morning.

A walk to work on a snowy morning!

*****************************************



Based on a true life incident ;-) (so are the pictures! Click on pictures to feel the winter effect!) It felt so good to walk in the snow today... Played and kicked it, as I walked to walk. Got myself covered with snow by the time I reached ork. Oh well, it was so worth!

A day in the life of

...... a team lead!




This is my calendar for tomorrow. Got just 2 hours free. Take a bet, by 10 AM that would be full! I'm surely going to relish my 1 hour lunch break :-D


Ah.... to be a team lead! Blissful :-)

Jigsaw

Itz been ages....

I miss the days when I used to come home from work and immediately switch my comp on to blog.
I used to think of multiple thoughts to write on my way back home in the company bus.
The traffic jams just added more time and got the creative juices flowing.

Those were days when Mom was there to do EVERYTHING for me.
I was a mere princess!
As such even princesses’ wouldn’t have had the life I had with no responsibilities!

..................

Present:
I've evolved.
Do I regret?

You must be kidding!
I've seen both sides of the grass,
And both are equally good.

Responsibility,
Maturity,
Seriousness, (when needed!)
All part of the game

The game of growing up and learning.

I'm 25, but maturity knocked late.
But the important part of this all is -- never loose the child in you.

So what have I learnt?

A lot!
How to handle clients,
When to speak and most importantly what to speak
How to cook :-)

Cooking is as easy 1-2-3
(1) Open your refrigerator and check for available resources. Choose the resource that will play the highest role in the project
(2) Off to google.com. Type in the resource name followed by the keyword "recipe"
(3) You will be presented with multiple options, choose the recipe that matches all the other available resources in your project!

The results = a variety of food.

So as you can see, cooking has taken a lot of my time.

Back to the list -
I guess the most important thing I've learnt is how to understand and deal with people especially newer folks. You go thru this phase where you get hurt, luckily those phases were back home when I had my family's support, more importantly their love to get me out of it. When you are alone, you can't risk getting hurt and wasting time. Those seem trivial and you tend to have a lot of other better stuff to do like cooking :) or household chores!

You learn to keep your eyes open at all times, and learn to trust less. I guess trust is the word that gets me into trouble. The more you trust others, the more painful it is when those people break your trust. The less you trust, the less or should I say, there is no pain. Makes life much simpler!

*************************************************************************
This is quite an absurd post, so I'm going to name it a Jigsaw. Stealing this title from one of Jewel Ray's previous posts. (Hope you dont mind :-) Jewel)

At the end of the day, I know one thing - God has blessed me with the happiest life in the world, and I have all the special people in my life to thank to give me this happiness. I swear to this!


If only eyes could speak, you would know exactly what I mean!
