 All living things have to be active. Resting or relaxing is to be done when the body is tired and demands it. It is a physical need and not something to be done for the pleasure it gives.  Not keeping your self occupied is dangerous. When we have nothing to do, our mind turns to  think of  stuff that maybe harmful. That is why it is said that idle mind is the devil’s workshop. Being engaged in some activity is the only remedy. People who have no work, but get a lot of free time can take up some hobby.. People who sit all day doing nothing keep whiling away time in  unnecessary negative talks. Only those who idle their time can do this. Importance of having some work for our young is due mainly to this. Because they are idle they learn to evil thoughts and deeds. They seek pleasure that is not due to them. Keeping oneself idle is  the worst thing ! Do something and not nothing!

Brrrrrrrr....30 years old not bad haaan! I say to my self. The fact that I don't even look or behave like   I am  25 is really cool. I don't even feel I'm 30.  It was a sweet birthday. My father in law gave me a bagful of gifts so nice if him. He is a gem of a person not because he gave me gifts but because he is. Someday I will write a blog for him. Went out with monsieur H on the 7th evening to bring in the birthday. He gave a lovely card with lovely messages written and options for what I wanted for my birthday. woke up in the morning with work related phone calls. And so many called to wish from all over . I was thrilled with phone calls that were not even expected. Went to the temple ,mety grand parents in law took their blessings. Then I went meet my favorite - my grandfather ! He gave me this amazing hand written letter, he can't write cause his hands have become stiff due to age. But he still wrote for me. I love hand written letters. That's one of the b...

Dearest Saii baba,  Sorry I wasn't around on your last day at work but trying to make up for it. Read on.. The truth is that goodbyes never get easier, no matter how many times you are in that situation.  It is amazing how work became fun when you were around. You are not just a colleague but a very good friend too. It is rare that one finds a good friend in a colleague atleast in my case where I consciously don't mix personal and professional.  Thanks for being that wonderful person who always I will always remember.  The  good with it is a promise of something better that is in store for you.I consider myself fortunate to have met such a person like you shai. I am going to miss all the mental laughter ,talking nonsensical Gujarati ,and all the crazy things. Thanks for all those times where you helped me with managingm my stress levels ! It will be difficult to fill the void. Best of luck my sai baba! A little someyhing for you -...

Have you ever had a night when you just couldn't sleep? Even when you're so tired you could fall off your feet? You get up for awhile, and then you lay back down And just lie there, watching the clock go round Then you remember that old  saying "Try counting sheep" It is supposed to help people who have trouble falling asleep After some time has passed by You decide you'll give it a try And you start counting sheep, counting even their feet Since sleep won't come, you get out of bed And decide to have some MAGGI WITH CHEESE ;)
