The Gender Bias

After Marriage The man doesn't have to leave his family after tying the knot....and if he does its considered to be a crime While the girl belongs to the boys family and she just has to forget where she came from  The man has the same duties ...of looking after ONLY his schedule ...and delegating most of the personal chores to the rest of the family While the girl has to modify and fit in to the new family's routine....given a 3 months probation time....but immediate compatibility to environment would give you some extra points The man's schedule.....Will you be coming for for lunch?...not sure....Are you working late?...I don't know Do you want lunch ? ...yes but may be not....Are you going to office???? ...Might....!!!!! while the girl has to submit a clear schedule with time and place where she will be available at...and must follow it too The man's family is always right and takes While the woman's family is always wrong and gives The man is c...

The Past and the Future

2009....A very uneventful year in all quarters. Personally and Professionally I didn't see any major change. On the Personal Front There was more of worry rather than joy.With loved ones falling sick. In and out of hospital.My visits to the dentist ( which continue this year boooo hoooo!). Am totally fed up living an unsettled life...shuttling between homes. The flat is still unfurnished and cluttered. The the initial months did have a lot of travel the whole family enjoyed. Then there was Achu's little acheivements that brought in those moments of joy to make the year not so bad afterall. On the Professional Front The personal failures have tainted my professional dreams. YES that is the excuse I have and I stick with it. There is not an atom of enthusiasm. I want to improve, study and grow....but....am lazy and fuzzy and slightly dizzy .... This year is not going to see me make any NEW resolutions The old ones are crying for help.... 2010 here I come ....... P...

My Pets and Me

This blog started off as a comment and became too long and so was promoted to a blog. And this is the blog that inspired me :) Past - had a dog Benji when I was in school . He was a silky terrier. A cute little pup. I used to play with him cuddle him , teach him tricks and do everything that didn't come under the term 'dirty work'... together or seperate....Amma did that.....One Sunday when the whole family was back after a little outing  we found we lost Benji......Lost and not to be found....... - Then I had cats..though they couldn't fill the gap benji left...loved them too...a dozen of them in my backyard....they visit me only for dinner though....Tom cats, pregnant cats, soon to be pregnant cats and lots of kittens in all sizes....I was breeding cats...We would have the cat choir every night....and then I got married...Amma fed them for a few months .when she ignored them they would steal.....then she found ways to send them away ...marry them off :D Presen...

Delhi - Do I Miss you?

M and I were to fly to Delhi on the 2nd of January 2010...But the flight got cancelled because of the fog in Delhi and my trip to delhi stands cancelled..... Am Happy we didn't fly because My Achu didn't want me to go. Though he was excited he was to get a train set when I get back...yeah call it the bait to make up for my absence My Amma who is just recovering from a leg injury consented 100% with energy levels of barely 15% to look after Achu jus because she didn't want her daughter to miss going on a official trip... I love you Amma...:) My Achu singing the welcome song for Granparents day at school and so I have a few days extra to get his costume ready My teeth which needs attention as early as possible....and the monster is getting all hungry yet again...baaahhhhh  My group of friends are organising an event and I am involved in it ..this means I can give in some more time into it My BIL is getting married early next month...one more week added to my I-can-sh...

The Personal Monster - III

Went up to the Girl at the front desk and gave my file. She looked at it and smiled. I went all cold at that smile. Was that a smile of consolation I wondered frightfully. I asked her which tooth was to be extracted and I also had to have a RCT. Its the Right molar and Right middle tooth for RCT she said. I knew it. Its the wrong side. All along I had this feeling that my doc was talking all Right and poor me thought she was mentioning about the Left molar extraction and RCT.Why?...Because it was the left side that was painful. My right side didn't hurt at all. She vanished inside rather puzzled. She came back and told me to wait......again?...oh the suspense was torturing me...... My doc came out and called me. I felt numb all over. She asked me what the problem was and on mentioning my plight she told me she would work on my Left molar and do a little filling later on the front left tooth. Done. That solves the problem. Now what? Ps- For the girl at the desk - am just a...
