chewing gum- call it the STICKY gum!

A chewing gum, how much fun can it be?

well, health mags say that it's good for your gums, breath and teeth, and to be frank, chewing gum helps me stay awake when i'm driving late sometimes. but what they never tell you is how bad/worse/worst it can be!

An accident because of the legendary "CHEWING GUM"! Yes, it's the chewing gum, and I ended up being in fault, when it should be this gum!

I had to give up on one of my formals once!
Innocent I believed that all the place in the world are 'chewed' gum free, and I sit on a step at a very happening place in the summer, and guess what! My 'stark' black skirt was not just black anymore, my skirt did not want to get separated from the concrete steps I was sitting, and the cementing element was again, the legendary- chewed wrigley, contributing to wrigley's wealth, and showing off the execution of the univeral right to free spit!

on my carpet, I have this wrigely, never letting me forget it's existance, thanks to it's journey from nobody-knows-from-where to my shoes and to my carpet!

Well, back to the accident caused by this wrigley-
the cop thinks it's my fault, and he also issued me a ticket :(
it was wrigley, but the cop is not ready to listen to me.

somehow someone's free gum spit right execution ended up under my right shoe sole, which is the only foot I use for driving my auto/manual transmission mazda. I was getting annoyed by my sticky foot a.k.a. sticky gas paddle/break paddle.

I approach a stop light, seeing from far, was red. nearer I get, it turns green, with another car in front of me, with good safe distance between us. He slowed down, so did I, and since he was the only one in his lane with no one in his front, I presumed that he is going to speed up, since, the light is now green, and he will match the speed limit of 40mph.

How wrong my judgement was! I decided to give a quick attention to my anoyance without increasing my speed, the shoe sole, to find out what is going on with this stickiness, why this stickiness! And rest is not at all golden history :(

my fault, the first "TICKET" in my 3 years of driving history, a crack on my front bumper on my 2.5 yrs old car :( and a small dent on rear bumper of the other car with my insurance going higher next year..

you tell me now- who should be prosecuted?

Right Judgement?

What is right and what is wrong? It's the question disturbing me today. One thing I have learnt is that when you are confused, and in a moment, DO NOT DECIDE. I don't trust my decisions when I am confused or in a moment, I also start doubting my past rationality, My own logic would prove my past decisions very non-rational, emotioanlly taken!

What seems right to me , does not seem right to other people. And I get shaken, because, I have been proven wrong at times (and I still don't believe I was wrong! Heights of positivity, or ego??)

But still, I am of the personality, I can not rely on others' judgment. I can not follow others perception, I get suffocated even if I think of following it. Not even my parents' !

I am in a middle of this moment rightnow, thinking, why world is not simpler, why things get so complicated..

I would remember what my favorite cousin, my big sister, keeps telling me- There is no right or wrong thing, it's just a choice, you can choose better! I like that. But again, it is a very difficult job- to choose better.

I bet, you got this very right- that I am a gravely confused mind righnow.. will get over it soon though.

His Universe

My first poetic piece:

HIS UNIVERSE

I just can not take my mind off
and feel so embellished
and so fortunate
that I have him
that how he greets me
off the work,
recommence our day
cold winter out
flurrries dancing in the wind
two arms wide open
waiting to embrace his universe
his universe, me

Women of the World

I used to wonder when I was younger that if everyone sees things just the way I see, if everyone thinks like I do, if everyone has feelings like I do.

I realized it later that yes, everyone can, at that moment I realized I got matured! It's such a beautiful realization! Realization that you understand more than you used to! you don't need any proof for this, it just comes to you, with experiences, with age.

I was very fortunate to get showered with love, care, fun we can think of during my childhood. Not many women are so fortunate in this world.

I was reading Jithu 's blog and started thinking on being a woman in this world. It's not easy to be a woman! I hear from many guy friends of mine that if they were given a choice, they'd have selected to be a woman, because women's life is so easy and simple! These dear friends of mine have not seen all the facets a woman has to go through, that's all I can say.

We just celebrated women's day a few days ago, but this world needs much much more than that. I just read about this little lady- Gulsoma, I was tearing by the time I reached the end of the ARTICLE. These women need our support, I can not even think of the things she went thru during her 4 to 11 years of age period. May god bless her.

I was watching Dr. Wayne Dyer's Inspiration lecture series on TV recently, they had a woman- Immaculee Ilibagiza from Rawanda in the spotlight, who survived the Rawandan holocust for 3 months without any physical movement, starving in a bathroom.

Eleven-year old Gulsoma from the above mentioned article, Immaculee make us realize that the world is not a dreamland we think of.

The least we can do, contribute to a cause of woman's day is send some warm supporting words to them..

My Perfect Love

Geo has passed me this baton. I usually don't get into this passing the ball game, but recently I had been reviewing my own ideas on my dream guy. And, it's a nice co-incidence that when I was thinking of what I'm looking for, I was asked to present my views on my blog, and that's why I decided to write!

1. Patience patience patience - lots of patience - Anger is the worst enemy
2. Caring and loving - I should be the first priority, no matter where, what, when, why, how
3. should be a good listener and a talker which would be very good combination.
4. Should be independent and confident - should not depend on others to decide for himself
5. Should enjoy even a silliest joke we share, should also be able to savour even a smallest moment with me; sharing is the key, should share with me as much as possible.
6. should be quite flexible. should not feel ashamed in saying "I'm sorry" if he has to.
7. decent looking, original, respecting others, with clear mind about what he wants in his life, and of course, earning!
8. sensitive to my feelings and needs. A quality time with me is very important to me.

In short, a guy, who makes me feel like his queen! :)



I came across this last week, and it's quite interesting:

Perfect 10
"My great-aunt wrote a list of the 10 most important things in a marriage, and she gave it to me. It read:

10. Patience
9. Kindness
8. Patience
7. Communication
6. Patience
5. Caring
4. Patience
3. Patience
2. Love
1. Patience

First of all, this couldn't be more true. Second, an 80-year-old woman made up a top-10 list; how funny is that?"
--Beth Power

I'd like to pass this on to Lorena and Sid, but, no hassle, only if they wish to get tagged.
