Adi's growing and growing fast!!

Hi,

Adi, my baby boy is growing up really fast. He is 3 months and 17 days old today.

I go home most of the weekends so that I could spend some time with him. Every week I go home, he shows me new tricks that he has learned over the week. At times, I think how he came to know all these things as nobody is teaching him these things. But he learns it by himself. Its much easier to learn new things at younger age. I don't think I 'm learning anything new these days. My mind is so occupied most of the times and when your mind is always occupied its not conducive for learning.

Let my Adi learn all the new things that he can learn now. Does he recognize me? I would like to believe that he does. The biggest joy for me seems to be the time that I spend with Adi now. But when he's not in good mood things can go really bad. Then I will look for Anju or Amma to handle him.:-) I can always say that he is with them all the time they can do it better than me.

We both talk to each other a lot in a language which we both understand,right Adi? But if someone else hear the same thing, they will definitely not understand our language. Now that Adi has crossed three months we are giving him 'Kurukku' (I don't know the English word for that one). Maybe that is the reason why he's growing up. His cheeks are getting bigger every week and that is one thing that I notice when I am there.

One thing Adi seems to like a lot is going out. When he's crying loudly, if we take him out of the house and show him flowers and different colors he stops crying. But it does not happen every time. Only if you are lucky, he will stop crying. Another thing that he love is going for car drives. I have not seen him crying loudly when he is in the car. Most of the time he will be looking out and enjoying the outside beauty. It must be really boring for him to always be inside the house.

Adi's gonna be here with me in another two weeks time. I have to get lots of things sorted out by then before welcoming little prince..

What if there's no Tomorrow!!

Just another crazy thought came to my mind..

Can we even imagine what will happen in this world if someone announces that today's the last day and there will be not be a tomorrow for any of us?

Let the person making the announcement be President of America Mr.Barack Obama, the all powerful man in this world.If he cannot stop this from happening to this world,why do we need to call him the most powerful man in this world?It is something that can be debated if any of us are left alive after tomorrow.

Once Mr.Obama makes such an announcement what will happen next? First thing might be traffic blocks all around the world. Each n everyone would be dying to be with their loved ones.All the people who are not with their loved ones would be on the roads to reach home. But about the unlucky people who does not have their vehicle for commuting? They will be suffering a lot as it would be real hard to find any more cabs on the road once the announcement is made and whole world comes to know about it.

What about the people who are at their work? They will also follow the rest and will be heading home. What about the work that they are doing now? Will anybody be thinking of the work or their life when they know that their life's in danger? No, life comes first and everything will come after the life.

Will there lots of people running to temples, churches and mosques? I really don't know. But I think many people will be running to almighty when there are in trouble. So there will be people running to the temple when they come to know of the news. What will be clergy telling to all those people who come to temple for some peace of mind? This is something I am really curious to know. Will the clergy be in a position to console the millions like they always do? I think they will try that as they believe in miracles that God can perform. May that will clearly differentiate between real believers and others.

Can we leave behind our faithful companion- Mobile Phones? The telephones lines will be so busy most of the times and it would be really difficult to get in touch with loved ones through phone. What will be service providers do when are facing tough situation like this. I don't think there will be many people who will be working hard to keep things intact.

Your mind will tell you where you need to be and you will be ready to give up all you've to be with your loved ones for one more time,,,one last time...

Life's tough!!

Hi,

This is one thought that I always had in my mind.

One of my cousin in his younger days wanted to be a crow.Any guesses for such a thought? Because crows do not go to school daily like him. Such an innocent thought at such an innocent age. Did we all think in that way when we were going to nursery school? I think many of us had such kind of thought when we were young. At least in my case I was sure that I had such thoughts in my mind.I did not want to go to nursery school when I was young.

When I moved to another school, I wanted to go to the school on those days when there was sports and games. When I was studying 4-5th, I could see my seniors who were studying on 8-9th classes playing cricket after the school days. Since we were kids, we were not allowed to play with them in the school ground. So I wanted to grow up faster so that I could play cricket in school ground. We got a chance to play when we were in 8-9th classes but then I wanted to have a bicycle. Many of my friends had it during that time and I wanted one. But I didn't get one.

In the tenth standard all the teachers were giving us special attention. They wanted us to do well not just for our sake but for the sake of school. I remember sisters telling us about it every now and then when they got a chance. So it was a really hectic time at school. I was a studious student and I think most of the teachers liked me.They were all ladies except one drill master.:-)

We just wanted to get out of the school and join a college. Since we were in a convent school it was very strict. So I wanted to enjoy the freedom in college after completing my 10th.

Life was quite different in college. There was more freedom in college days but then there was again pressure to do well in studies. All wanted to get into get good colleges for engineering or medicine. I also wanted to get in to get in to an engineering as that appeared to be the safe option of the lot. Of course it was not the first option but I was afraid to take risk. So I just followed the pack and I did not know anything about any branches of engineering when I joined for engineering. So any branch was OK for me. My suggestion for all the students preparing for engineering or be any other higher studies is to learn more about the options that you have got before coming to a decision. Once you make a decision, you cannot go back and change it. Its going to be with you for your life time. EVERYONE NEED NOT TURN TO ENGINEERING OR MEDICINE, there is lot more in life than being engineer or doctor.

Once I was in engineering college, next main pressure was to get a good job.But that thought came to me quite late in college and so I suffered like anything after completing my engineering. Only thing that I would like to treasure about my college days is few friends with whom I keep in touch even now.Few of them are for life time and they know and I know it.:-)There are places where I could have done better but there's nothing that I can do about it,right? Life just moves on. When I think of those days, I think I can make Chetan Bhagat proud by writing a book like Five Point SomeOne..(Sorry Mr.Bhagat). I know not everyone can become Mr. Bhagat, but can I?Don't know.But lets see where my life take me. I just want to move with the tide and not fight with it.I just wanna survive and make most of my life..:-)
