A quick nap!!

Finding time for a quick nap has become like finding alice in wonderland. What can a quick nap solve? Before you go into the nap we have the same problems to face; after we get up from it; nothing changes!! The cruel world is the same. What can a quick nap do to you ? I have seen people sleeping just for 5 hours a day. Is that enough? I read somewhere that 8 hours of sleep is a must for a healthy life. I think it is all in how you feel after the sleep!!

One fine Saturday, I got up in a rather rusty mood. Irritated I should say, to be more precise. I got very irritated with things going around me. It was not surprising that I caught a fight with my mom. I try my level best not to get angry on my mom, as she is such a sweet person. But sometimes in situations like this, it is unavoidable; before you know it, it is over.

I skipped my breakfast; because of the fight. I don't know what happens to us when we are angry; we just show it on food. By staying hungry, we are just punishing yourselves. I tried a lot to understand my ego and alter ego, but I never found a way to show my anger other than food. Human ego and anger are our worst enemies not in the past; in the future aswell.

I did sober down a little by afternoon as they say time heals a lot of things. I did not talk well with my mom though; I was moody. I did eat my lunch. Then after some TV time, I dozed off. I took a quiet nap for almost 3 hours. When I woke up again, I was a different guy. Lot of energy inside me; I talked with my mom as normal. Nothing seems to have changed, except my way of thinking and action.

My mom knew everything in the back of her mind; she kept a low profile till I spoke normally. So like her. I went out met friends had a great time. When I woke up in the morning, I felt a small head ache, may be that may have triggered some irritation and then the fight eventually this quiet nap for 3 hours, made me feel fresh again. Sometimes, a quick nap can do wonders.
STATUTORY WARNING: Try this at home!!

Not a care in the world!!

How much do you care about someone whom you care about? How much time do we give for people who really care for us? What happens when you care so much about someone and they just give a shit to you on your face? When you give so much time for them, cancel a lot of things to just be with them and they just take you for a ride, instead of being with you and spending time, they go out on a their own spree making you feel like shit!!

Recently I met someone, when I had been to Israel. Not only was she very cute, she was so down to earth in the way she talked that I felt I had a lot of attitude as compared to her. A total gem of a person I have ever met. She had a broken English, but very good at that. She tried her level best to explain the situation and things to the honest of her knowledge using her broken English. I could not speak Hebrew, hence English was the only way I could converse with her. It was so cute to see sentences forming from her words, just like a small kid trying to learn English.

The way she excused and felt sorry for her way she spoke her broken English was something I have never seen before. Just to make sure that no one is hurt just because of misunderstanding and misinterpretation. "At Khamuda" means "You are cute" in Hebrew, when you say it to a girl. She deserves more than one "At Khamuda". Lot of things happened, partly things which I cannot recollect fully, and partly things I cannot say here as it is a open source. Overall just the attitude of being humble and not to hurt anyone you care by your speech or action is what I learnt from her. Man!! she was adorable. I will not say I don't care for her, but there are lot of other people whom I care about if not more, certainly not less.

I do try my level best to implement, what she follows so easily. But seldom do I succeed in accomplishing that, still I try. Again I want to restate that, inspite of the communication barrier, we could gel well. As always, life always throws you otherside of the coin. You care so about someone that, you seldom realize how much they care about you until something strikes you like a bolt lightning.

People whom you know very well take you for granted and don't care a shit about what you think or feel. They do what they think is correct and if don't even bother if it affects others in anyway. They just don't care. People whom I know so well for a long time, also give a damn sometimes. Sometimes people who are close to you, will do things you cannot imagine.

Where is this girl who does not even know me, behave so down to earth and where is this girl who I know well, who does not care a shit about what I feel!! :( :(

As the world turns

Date: 28th June 2009
Location: Tel Aviv
Scene:
Having a stroll in Tel Aviv beach at the end of the day. The Tel Aviv beach is artificially made. The sand there is so soft that, it does not stick to our skin. When you pick it up in your hand, it escapes throw your fingers. Every day in the morning, a truck comes, to clean all the dirt people have left. I really did not see any trash scattered on the beach. It is such a clean beach. The people play a very important job in maintaining it. They don't throw trash into the sea. Unbelievable but true, they are very disciplined. People going on a evening jog to stay fit. Most of them go jogging or cycling to stay fit. There is a free gym on the beach, where in you can go and pump up some muscles, the weight is your body weight. You have to lift your body weight, some of it is tough body exercise. All my efforts to go jogging did not help me. I could manage only 3 days of jogging in the matter of month I was there. I got a inferiority complex looking at all well built guys and girls with amazing body. Truly I must give my back a strong kick and get fit. I gained almost 4 kgs, which is totally unacceptable. As I was walking, I saw many girls having a tattoo done, kids playing around with firsby. People sitting on the beach enjoying a drink talking with their friends and family. Amazing place to get rid of pressures and tension at work for some quite time and get going the next day with a refreshed frame of mind. People with full cycling gear with light flickering on the front and back of their bicycle were going up and down. It was something like watching "Tour De France". I am a fan of Lance Armstrong, read his autobiography some years back. Some musicians were playing violin, some clowns were making money by dancing on the pathway, doing lot of tricks. But literally, it was amazing seeing all these guys caring so much about free time and also about staying fit. I also had a smile on my face, as I was leaving the next day for India.


Date: 4th July
Location: Andheri(W), Mumbai
Scene:
When the rain does not come, we people of mumbai complaint that there is no rain and it is very hot. When the rain eventually comes, we want it to go off as it disrupts the normalcy of life. It pours in buckets not drops. I had been on my bike to Andheri W for watching a movie. It was raining when I left home. I did reach the cinema hall on time for "Terminator Salvation"; I liked the movie. The action scenes and also the camera work is cool. Coming back to the scene, when I started my way back home, I did not know the worst nightmare awaiting me :)
It was pouring, and I was caught in a worst traffic jam. The water levels were raising. The traffic did not move an inch. I had to take a big detour from my normal path. All of a sudden coming from such a nice climate and place like Tel Aviv enjoying the sun set view and late night walks, I was jolted back to reality. I had to reach home some how. All the roads were jammed, me being on a bike did not help as I was getting almost fully wet now. My only concern was my bike, in this water should not give up on me and my mobile phone in my bike should not get wet. I have already lost one costly mobile to rain water. There was no discipline in the traffic, everybody was going on the wrong side, running scattering. Traffic police were present only at important junctions. It was impossible to regulate traffic, with such disciplined people at the first place. You cannot say anything, as everyone is trying desperately only one thing, to reach home by hook or crook. I took a detour route. I did not know this route as I had not been through it at all. The rain had shown no sign of stopping. The autoricshaw drivers were very helpful in helping me map a route back home. When it rains, it is not impossible to get lost. The water level raised to my knee. I took almost 2 hours, to reach a distance of half an hour journey. The reality of your world does hit you so hard sometimes, that it takes you some time recover from it!!
