This That and Everything in between

It’s Organic......... Everything is so huge in here (USA).I was hugely surprised to walk into a 'shop' selling vegetables and see all the onions the size of a watermelon and all small watermelon in the size of huge watermelons. Though I thought it is twice the worth of the money spent on the same, there is always a costlier section on the same vegetable with title "organic" on it, making you feel guilty of eating the inorganic ones. Even squirrels are not puny here, are they inorganic? Even milk is either organic or not organic here, though it comes from an organic cow. So essentially, any living or formally living and presently edible things are either organic and small or inorganic and huge. I feel being identified with an "organic" status to an already organic material, as a pathetic result of population expansion and development of technology to keep up with the population. But the irony is, India is a more populous country than USA, then I am not able t

It hurts to be shrewd....At least for me "Reduce your tension" if you want to get rid of your jaw pain, head aches and other entourages associated with the same, was the prescription given by my doctor for my recurrent pains . I went for physiotherapy, had regular appointments with the orthodontist and mentally told myself to reduce my tension. In fact, when I had to move away from my family for a short duration (relatively short in terms of my probable life time) I promised to my dad that I will be calm and patient and won’t get tensed. Well, the underlying logic in this is, I get tensed when ever I think “otherwise”, in the sense I got tensed whenever I had other views than my peers and of course I never got tensed if I told my views to my friends who understand me, here also the catch is “who understand” me. I found it extremely to make them understand and in the process of making my point I got extremely tensed. Trust me I got so tensed that I got a XYZ pain syndrome, its

I never seem to learn..... There is nothing wrong being part of an accident if you know how not to do certain things. Just 2 years ago, when I went for a Outbound training as part of an initial learning program in my company, I fell down in the most stupidest way, I fell down on my head from a log in which I was standing holding an untied rope. If only I didn’t concentrate on holding on to an unsupported freely hanging rope I would have fallen down on my legs which is much better than getting your head hurt. I was concentrating on the rules of the game (part of which is catching the rope) rather than apply my common sense. I had to give a finishing speech( actually you can say a finishing "speech" literally not a "literary" speech per say), in which I told the people ( that is my fellow participants) that I learnt how not to fall on that day and that it was a valuable lesson to take home and everyone laughed for that. But I really meant it. But the problem is I neve

At last...some thoughts... Its been a very long time since i put my thoughts in writing.I think the main reason being laziness as well as blocking of Blogger.com @ work since thats where i get to have lots of "Free" time ! There were numerous things i want to write about but at present while coming to this place where i get access internet for free( My library), i saw a huge police force at work catching the "miscreants" without helmet on their heads and i found it immensenly funny cause i have never witnessed such an active traffic police at mount road in the past few years i am at this place. I think atleast all people in TN will be aware of the new rule of "must wear helmets" else pay a fine of Rs.100 .I am not against safety but there are limits to a rule.At busy times atleast on mount road , one gets barely to move a feet in one minute and the needle of the speedometer even crossing a maximum of 40 is very difficult, with this being the case i am not
