Time Travel

3 letters

2 across oceans 

2 not into 'decorations' 

But every single response.... Worth every ounce of effort that went into this. 

Okay! Fine! The background story. 

Remember something called posts? The old ones? Post office? Posting letters? Ya..... This was exactly what I meant when I said... Time travel! The last time I wrote a letter would be when I was just out of school, before I got into my engineering college. Those days that was how we used to communicate with our dad - Write letters. 

Recently, kiddo came to me with her ink pen to write a note to her teacher. Well, I flicked it from her & wrote letters to my threes. All 3 were people I am in touch with every single day, if not every hour. What surprised me was... I still had something new to share. 

All I can hear is her laughter while she was going through her letter..... :-)

My Saree Pact

Last night, a friend started a thread on 100SareePact. Lets not lie here. Saree is something that all in that group wear for functions. I am someone who doesn't hesitate in cutting out her Kanjeepuram Sarees and convert them into salwars or pudavas for kids. It was during our discussion that I realize.... The impact of my attitude towards Saree on my 9yr old daughter. She considers any Indian attire to be something that should be worn only if there is a family function or local festival. This was more evident while I listened to my daughter's response to my statement 'I am wearing a saree today!'. She asks, 'What is so special today?'. Saree is something to be worn on special occasions only... :-) 

I am not kidding myself or anyone by saying that you will see me draping saree a 100 times this year. But... Lets just start with one saree today. I do not have a story from the past to connect with this Saree. All I have is the saree story for today..... So... What was special today? 

A very close friend of mine is retiring. He bids Good Bye to the corporate world by the end of this month. He is a very close friend. We tease each other. We take care of each other. We argue with each other. We fight with each other. He is the enlighten one. He had been one of my strong pillars. And I am sure, he will continue to be one... :-) I have known him for 9 years. My daily office wear is jeans & T-shirt. Long long ago, he had mentioned in passing... When will I get to see you in a traditional wear. Today, we were giving him a farewell lunch. And I just knew... What I had to do to bring in that smile on both our faces.... 

So Typical!!!

I send this message to 5 people... Group consisting of both male & female

"I am bored... Please suggest something that would keep me engaged!"

I observed an interesting pattern here.....

Every single female entity replies with - Take my children!
And every single male entity replies with... Make a guess..... Links to porn sites!!!!

Men!!!!!
Grrrrrrrrrrrrr........

Compliments

"No man who is really humble will dare to accept praises in anticipation of possessing the qualities mentioned. Even if a man is great, efficient, famed all the world over, still, a humble man will not allow praises to be sung in his presence. Please do not continue this recital of my glory which is highly embarrassing."
        - Prithu, The Great from The Bhaghavatha

Well... I guess this is what happens during compliments... :-D

Initiating an Invitation

Me {mixed emotions}: You were right. The person who decides to be with me in any form will have to go through this sort of entertainment every single day!! All that matters now is, finding a brave heart who can endure all this!
He : You never know... Some people may like it.
Me : Exactly... Some... May... See the chance there????
He : There will be people who would like your ability to translate an ordinary day/life in to something extra ordinary.
Me {Now on floor laughing}: No wonder you are into what you are.
Me {after a short pause}: Anyways... Now I have people across the globe convincing another bunch to record & post video clippings.
He : This is what I call... Initiating an invitation to engage in a meaningful artifact
Me {Pling!}: Whaaaat???

Am I allowed to include 45 sit ups to this invitation????????? :D 

PS. 

The existence of this image says that I am not the only one... Thihahahahahahahahahaha......
