The Truth about CATS and DOGS

Image
My dog Teddy (as a pup) was extremely fond of cats! Unfortunately for him, the feeling wasn't mutual! His favorite hang out was our hall window where he'd reach up and sight-see, standing on his hind paws and his head would move left right, scanning the entire place! The funniest thing was his paws would ache after a while and he'd get down, but his curiosity always got the better of him! Squirrels were a big attraction (chipmunks actually) and cats! You see we lived in an apartment, luckily on the ground floor, and the neighbors on the side had a huge backyard with fruit trees and the squirrels would go up and down the coconut trees (I have to admit even I couldn't resist watching them sometimes) . The house behind our building had cats! Ample supply! And the mother cat seemed to think having litter after litter was her sole purpose in life! When I'd take him out, Teddy's first task was to chase after the kittens who managed to climb the wall and look down on ...

WHEN TRUTH LIES

Image
"Truth is still absolute. Believe that. Even when that truth is hard and cold, and more painful than you've ever imagined. And even when that truth is more cruel than any lie." We all say that we want to know the truth, the whole truth, in any situation in our lives. I think we're lying most of the time. Especially wen we're in the wrong, (and at some point we all are)and the last thing we need is a third person pointing out the facts(I say third because a second person seems to have more of a right, and in this situation everyone is a third person). The bare naked truth that we've tried so hard to hide.Of course, when someone else lies to us we demand an explanation and expect the truth, if we do not get this we lose trust in the other person.And trust, the way it entwines itself with lies is intriguing. If a lie is never uncovered it can go on to remain the truth,so then what makes a lie different? Sometimes I think we're happier in oblivion.Because trut...

Day 6 :) ARRIVALS!!!

Image
I started my day early today, and was at the airport way before my mom's plane could land and the flight was delayed! So,I just sat around watching the display board and everyone coming and going. I love ARRIVALS :) I just love to watch people meeting after a gap, and you can even gauge the possible duration of separation and the intimacy between the person arriving and the receiving party. You may have noticed that a fair share of people are so shy to display their emotions and yet something as small as the lighting up of their faces gives them away in an instant:)Its sweet! I sat there watching and smiling, and smiling some more :D Who ever said distance makes the heart grow fonder knew what he was talking about! So there was this particular man who was really restless in the waiting area with me, he kept peeping through the glass, looking at his watch and the display TV so frequently I was starting to get a little nervous! I thought something must be wrong! After a good tw...

Image
Well I dunno if you missed me but I certainly missed writing here ! Been doing a lotta writing this month but nothing like writing here, in my own space, where I can use any font any word any any anything I want :) Kinda makes me think that you never realize how much freedom you have unless you have it taken away from you! :)We're a bunch of ungrateful creatures us humans!! :D hmmm! So how have you been?? This month has been rather disappointing..the job hunt is fruitless.. its like I only look up trees that are dry and ready to cause a forest fire, not give out fruits of any kind :P hmphtt.. In other words I hate waiting :( But then I am enjoying my new part time job..yes yes I am no longer a jobless bum :)and learning a whole lotta new things!! And well, I have definitely learnt to be patient and the wild horse in me has decided to put the saddle on!he he Have you ever felt at some point in your life,that everything is going soo well with something (maybe a job or grades or ...

day4 (part2)

Yesss :) Now I don't want you thinking that I just go on walks and meet cats etc.. I am a serious person! hmphht!! :P Since my main goal and purpose in life now is to find a suitable job and I AM working towards it.. no need to get suspicious of the caps, its just for emphasis :) I've put up my resume on every possible gulf job site (the free ones), rectified my resume,written different cover letters,even took a professional looking photo of myself(was tough and I thought I did a good job till my friends saw it and had a good laugh:/)..and even applied directly to companies. Now I'm waiting and waiting and waiting for someone to call me! And believe it or not not a single guy calls :( [ No, they do NOT have access to the above mentioned photo!huh!] The thing is my branch of Engineering is Biotechnology..and so I can get into the Pharma/Food tech/Environmental Engg fields here so I've chosen all these options on the job sites, this would give me more scope I tho...

Image
Hieee :) I'm back!! Didcha miss me?? :D hehe Your probably thinking weren't you supposed to go on that morning walk and post pics for us to see?? Well.. I can explain.. see I obviously didn't get up the next morning or the next:/ soo the next walk I went on was in the evening.. this time with both my parents! I was enthusiastic coz we were going to the beach :D My mom was panting midway and I was giggling thinking oh.. I'm soo young n energetic... fatigue? bah... I started talking about how I used to walk around a really big campus a few months back and hence the stamina!! We cross the Radisson,a women's club(that my mom insists i should join!) and now I'm beginning to wonder.. where is this beach.. just 15min more says my dad.. JUST? O sweet lord.. anyway.. its okay.. I'm hardly tired.. we reach the beach:) My parents decide this side is too dark n secluded so we walk further where there are more people! a small family with two kids neck deep happily spla...

Gooodmorning :D hehe never thought I'd be up so early writing here!! Feels pretty good!! Nooo wait lets redo this, I should say "Saba ilkhair",which means Good morning in Arabic!! hehe yes I've been educating myself! Promise I'll use one word everyday:) My day started at 5.30am today (no need to gasp for breath like that..huh how rude :P) well in a way you are right.. obviously didn't get up on my own! You see my mom's summer vacations have begun and hence!! (there is exactly one advantage of being a teacher-you get a 2 month summer break!)..where was I? Yes..since she is on vacation she decides she should exercise and lose weight &&& the LEAST I can do according to her is go for that walk with her! So I woke up cursing the amount of light the stupid sun was emitting at 5.30 I mean seriously.. the poor moon was hardly there :/ and I like him much better these days! We live near a sea port which extends to a small beach and then its just...
