Happy New Year


Hi,all!! Here's wishing everyone a Very Happy 2009! How was the first day of the New Year? Anything special happen? Tell me, what does the above image signify to you for the New Year? Then,I'll give my interpretation.:)
---
I don't have anything really special to write home about, except that the day began in a great way-woke up at @ 730 AM, which is 'late' by my standards...went down and saw that it was a somewhat foggy day again. Yes,we've been having nice fog these last few days,if you can call fog nice.:) And then,the rest of the day's just flown by, albeit,pretty peacefully and happily...sending emails to people,reading the various NY smses, talking to a few friends and chatting with some.

Read this funny news about there being a ray of hope, finally, in the US of A...it seems that lingerie makers are having a field day, with sales of slinky lingerie specially shooting up.Why? Oh, simple- with the recession, people are staying at home more, so, they feel more amorous than they ever did in the busy hustle and 'bust'le days. Well, that's happy news,surely!!:) Hope the rest of the industries also pick up in the coming months.

And, our local newspaper had a collection of the humorour type of letters which they had received during the year, Like this one from a lady , which expressed her thoughts about her ex-hubby, and, had her hoping and praying  (for the readers) that her ex-husband does not go on the newly opened Floating Bridge(Dubai) in his car, as with the combined weight of his car and him, the bridge will probably sink.

Another was from a lady who went to a hairdressing salon to straighten her hair and walked out without any. She wanted to know what her rights were and was willing to send a pic of her head to the newspaper as proof, if they could help her.

Time for fun:

SHE: "I think you should know-my husband will be home in just about three-quarters of an hour." HE: "That's all right. I haven't done anything wrong." SHE: I know. But if you intend to, you'd better hurry."

"I could be all out of sorts when I get up in the morning," he was telling some friends, "but as soon as I brush my teeth, I feel ten years younger." His wife looked daggers at him. "Why don't you try brushing them before you go to bed?" she suggested.

Amusing quote for the day:

When we remember we are all mad, the mysteries disappear and life stands explained…. Mark Twain

Till tomorrow,then...have a great morning/afternoon/evening, depending on what part of the day u're in!!:)

happy new year!

My interpretation: You will strive to achieve all your targets for the year and you will never stop trying.

On a funnier note, you will continue to be a baggage of nonsense in the next year, what with all the symbols and numbers comprising the body. :-)

ha ha ha.
I thought of the striding on to your dreams interpretation but Arunima's baggage of nonsense viewpt is too funny.

Fog, eh? you can think you are in England or something, minus the cold, of course. :)) No?

Perception

  Hi all positive people.. a topic I often think over.. it's something which helped a lot in changing my thoughts towards the positive side (Again, learned via the Secret)... and, still does, in this always continual learning curve. The subject: Perception... my own perception: Think over it, specially, your negative thoughts and emotions about people and things - you find someone to be angry, you find them to be always complaining, you hate(That's the worst negative word, according to me.. better to dislike than hate, if you have to) someone or something. Think over it... are those persons or things like that? Or, it it your perception of how they are? Have you tried to put yourself in their place to see if they are, deep inside worried about something else, and that worry comes out as irritation towards you? One of the best remedies: Smile, bless that person or those persons and wish them all the best.. if they don't change, nee, not them, but YOUR perception of them does

‘Vaandro udhto udhto gayo’( A flying monkey just went by)….a remark that gave me the first laugh of the day today. A sudden sound of a parrot-like screech coupled with something like hooves clickety-clacking on the vehicle-less road caused the tea guy at the tea stall ask ‘what was that’? and, a guy sitting nearby retorted thusly. I just tried imagining a flying monkey, and couldn’t help grinning away in the dark.(I still don't know what had caused the sound, btw) Life’s like that- if you keep your ears open, you can never have a dull moment. We had our Building’s AGM two days, back, at 730 PM, on the terrace. It was accompanied by a simple, catered dinner, since it’s also an annual get-together. The catering guy had set one table with the actual dinner, and the other one at a right angle, was slightly in the dark, so you could just about see something in the thalis(huge plates). So we took a plate,etc, and, first took the salad, then, the achaar or something like it, and then th

Inventions and Discoveries

I'm really curious. Who invented the 'Va'. Or the 'Sha'. Or the 'Wi'. Or some such words. No, they're not some illnesses or prefixes. These are the words we invent when talking to people. I see the usage the max, specially in Baroda. Like: 1. Chai-Vaai peeni hai?(Want to have some Chai-Vaai?) 2. Naashta-Vaashta kar liya?(Did you have Naashta-Vaashta?) 3. Chutney-Vutney hai kya?( Is there any chutney-vutney?) 4. Lift-Wift nahin hai kya building mein?(Isn't there a Life-Wift in the building?) 5. Bombay-Wombay/ Dubai-Shubai kab jaa rahe ho ab?(When are you going to ....?) 6. Paise-Vaise milenge time pe ya nahin?(Will you get Paise-Vaise on time or not?) There are so many others I come across during the day, like, say speaker-veeker, phone-vone, kapde-vapde, dukaan-vukaan, that I have these rhyming words coming out of my ears, and, Arghhh!! Since the last few days, even I've started talking like this. Hopefully it won't be too rampant on my blo
