Letter, documents,et al


First letter of April- Men's Health!(In fact, first letter to this nice mag, too!)
----
Amongst other things:

Doesn't the new requirement for documents drive you mad, sometimes? I wanted to open an a/c (somewhere)-
-well, you need your pan card.
- Bank account- should have name same as in pan card, including middle name, if mentioned.
- If you submit the voter id card, it should have no spelling mistakes(till now, all the cards I've seen have had them- if spelling is right, they've changed your birth year to some years earlier. I suspect this was to make the 16 yr olds also, come within the 18 yr voting age limit, though I'm not 16, of course...LOL)...
- same was for driving license, which also had ancestral home..but, being the perceptive person I am(ROFL),I got it changed two weeks back...
- Also, a bank statement required- it should have your address mentioned-in these days of net-banking, how many banks give passbooks and/or monthly statements? And, which net statement has your address?

Finally, a combo of driving license/Pan Card/ corrected bank PB...and, the deed is done- I'd decided to ensure it ends today.Ahh!!The feeling of having endured the hot weather outside, to finally get things done- amazing!!

Your letter was spot on.

And yes, it is a mess getting ANY official work done. The blazing sun does not help.

Perception

Image
  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...

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...

Tag:What's in your bag?

Image
(Disclaimer: all the briefcase pics are courtesy goo-gling) Sush ,nee, SS has tagged me(thanks for that,SS)-the (ahem) only guy picked to do the tag...curiosity @ what I carry in my briefcase,apparently.:) So,here goes...be ready to get shocked??Not really.. ---- Currently: Answer is : Nothing..:)hehe..why? Coz I don't carry a bag or a briefcase. Some months back, I decided that I was fed up of carrying...(Well,that appears below)...anything to work. Just decided' Khaali haath aaye the hum, khaali haath jaayenge' applies to my work place,too..and..the rest,as they say, is history..so while people look proud lugging their laptops,their lunches, et al everyday to work..and sweating away in this humid weather, I'm cool,calm, collected...no pressure on the arms,so to speak. All the 'necessities', from otrivin to homeopathic medicine to headache tabs,biscuits,sweet awla,sunflower seeds ..are kept in the drawer of my desk. ---- To continue the tag from the...
