Anger -- Health, wealth & Dignity!!!

As a child, I was always told that Anger is not good for health. During my management classes I was told to manage my anger. But, today I learnt how anger can not only be bad to health, as well as to wealth and dignity…

There was this lady in my office, who had given some of her clothes (Blanket & Towel) to be dry cleaned. The way these dry cleaners deal with others things, they happened to spoil the towel. On being caught and questioned, they also added that they could bleach it clean white. Being an expensive towel, the lady argued. The argument got hated up with the broken English manager in between. When the lady found that the dry-cleaners are not going to give her money or apologize, she happens to pick an iron rod and went whack on the glass pane. The glass pane came shattering down…

When she came back to the office, there was an government official to receive her, who politely requested her to come to the police station as the owner of the dry-cleaning agency has filed a case. Poor lady, all this happened for what.. a 800 buck towel!!!

So lesson learnt.. control your anger or else loose your health, wealth & dignity…..

Doll or Baby!!!

Happen to be at pantaloons couple of weeks back with my 4 month old Son (Rishab) and my wife. I had put Rishab in the Kangaroo bag and was roaming in the shop floor. Rishab was facing outside and not towards me while being seated in the bag, comfortably. We both were enjoying the bring colours, when one of the shops guys got into a funny conversation with me:

Sales Guy : Sir, Is that a baby
Me : Yes, It is my son, why do you ask me this??
Sales Guy : Sir, I thought it was a doll
Me : WHAT!!! Have you gone crazy... More so what made you think I would be carrying a doll… $#%&@

I felt furious at that point of time... but, later looked at my son and was thinking, was that a mockery or a complement.

Thai Chir...

My my... today, seems to be the most painful day after a long time... Was at the training center at Trivandrum and I heard that there is a new activity that is going to happen, called Taichi. When I heard it, I realized it was only the normal breathing exercise which I realized later how wrong I was. Yeah yeah, it is a breathing excercise, which also helps you maintian your physical fitness. For close to 40 mins I was in the rythym of tearing my legs apart and trying to balance my body. At the same time doing the breathing control. So many a times, either i forgot did I inhale or exhale. Which leg should go behind or to which direction do I do the twist... My my, after sometime I thought if this did not stop then I would faint and six people may have to carry me (Thanks to my huge structure!!!).

But, yeah when being done in the group, I could feel the lovely energy around me that helped me continue with the process. Ofcourse, how can I forget the great "Tanya" who made me do it and "Balaji/Teena" to ensure that I was there to do "Thai Chir" sorry Taichi....

Harried thoughts

There is this one site which I seemed to have taken a good liking for. What I liked was the flow of thoughts and the conversation style that she has put in to explain her wonderful interactions with her son...

Rocking...

It was a desire to do a bit of rock climbing which got fulfilled on my travel to Trivandrum.. The adrenaline rush was really high.. Looking from the ground level the cliff seemed to be small but as I went up the cliff, the fall was really steep. This seemed to be an old quarry which is now used for adventure sport. On one hand I could see the greenery in front of me, spread in vastness, while on the other hand the mere fall gave me goose bumps. The guy on the top helped me with the harness and the loops. My friends said, Sid no problemo, use just need to go perpendicular to the cliff and keep walking down.. It is not at all difficult. I said, if that is it then fine, no problemo. Bloody hell, how would I know the pain and the pleasure in going down. So 1o mtrs down and I realized, that I am all shaky and can't even think of going up. The only choice left was to go down. I said to myself, Sid, you have to go down at any cost, so better enjoy the way down. Believe me, I just enjoyed apart from the shaky feeling inside. My friends kept saying, Sid you are almost there, bend down... leave more rope.. I was telling myself, "Shut-up, I can do it". What ever said and done, their support helped me in going on till I did Touch down..

Once I manage to foot my foot down on the ground, I was like, WoW!! i made it.. It is an amazing feeling, difficult to describe... The feeling now, is what next. Rock climbing is done, Can I look for some para sailing. Who knows I may actually end up doing that..

Pickled cook

It is such a difficult time to be all alone. I am surprised as to how ladies manage to cook for themselves even when they are alone (I am generalizing!!). But for me, even though I love cooking, cooking for self.. naaah.. no way. It is a herculean task. I dread to step into the kitchen. On top of that my lady keeps telling me, why don't you do this.. why not that..

Well I am waiting for her to come back home. No not for cooking but just that I seem to be longing for her company... Miss her ... cooking!!!???!!!
