My family consists of 6 members and 6 domestic help......................................
No each one of them are not dedicated to one of us but they come in different slots and have different KRAs as per to their Duty Rooster managed by my Granny (Dadi) that works less and falters more, to the extent that my Mom distributes sweets (Employee motivation!!!!) the day all 6 of them turn up.
Now coming back to my family (that’s not all), we have Mashis (my mom’s cousins) staying in the floor above us and I don't remember even once that we have gone upstairs or they have come downstairs without carrying something as in there is a constant exchange of good as important as 3 days old newspaper to Pan (betel leaf) .These guys should seriously do some course in Logistics Management.
Staying in such a big bong joint family is fun though and has its own charm, and we have live entertainment 24/7. Like Dadi can stop making her Duty Roosters and can take up a job of a radio jockey as she has the caliber to speak about anything and everything, some Radio Company should seriously explore this idea. Ma does reyaz of her vocal cord every morning by screaming at our Cook or Mali on important issues that can shake world history like why they want leaves just after coming back from a long vacation which they took to visit some vague Holy Shrine.
But its not always funny we have serious problems to sort out as well like we have 4 females at home and though we have differences in opinion we have few things in common too like that White Petticoat, now all bong females have that in common and how on earth do we differentiate between all 4 similar looking white petticoats. We tried it all, like Dadi embroidered monograms of the first alphabet of our names but there was a problem, Dadi and her Natni (grand daughter) both share the same Alphabet “S” so which “S” does this petticoat belong to is a hoax. Ma was very innovative I must tell you, Ma did her bit my stitching “Ma” on one of them. Now which MA she meant I don’t know, Is it my MA? My cousin’s MA? Or my Mom’s MA? We were all confused. Then came my aunt’s brilliant idea; she is a fabric painter so she painted our names on them using her fabric colours in strategic locations away from visibility, which caused enough scratching and itching in all wrong places. Thus we came back to square one and adopted age old thumb rule of “Trial & Error”. Now we keep on trying petticoats or churidars which is our fit or close to our fit and allow the rest to fight.
If you want more entertainment in your daily monotonous life you are more than welcome to visit us ;-)

A Letter To Mr. Murphy
Dear Mr. Murphy,
I wish to take this opportunity to thank you for your incredible influence in my life its like an eye-opener. Nothing can be more relevant to our lives. If not anything else at least I know now whom to blame if things go wrong!!!!!
I have re-read about your laws and wonder how something can be so true and prudent. My personal favorite being “ Anything that can go wrong will go wrong” Have tried to go against it at times too; ( just to make a point you know) and have no shame in admitting that you are always right. Trust me no one can beat your common sense. I truly appreciate that.
When common sense is something which can only be found in museums, I think your laws should a part of high school curriculum, to have a better breed of youth.
I wish to meet you in person and discuss about the origin of “Murphy’s Law”. I am sure you have much interesting stories behind them to share with us.
Well done for such good work.
Regards,

And It Rained............
She received a sms from HIM after ages, she couldn't’t believe herself…….. she read and reread the text.
He wanted to meet her after work………..Hoorrrrayyyyyyyyy……….
She could see his car where it used to wait for her, that exact place, she chanted her prayers……. she felt like dancing……..
He smelt the same ,felt the same, and complained the same to her only that now he was complaining about his girlfriend “The girl does not understand me at all, you know me so well, tell me what will I do, it’s getting complicated………….”
She could feel the chill in her spine; she realized that she has lost him FOREVER !!!!!!!!!
The world blurred in front in her eyes...........
And then it Rained.........................

Aftermath......................
Yaa you saw it right, this tree trunk went through the pavement railing and settled there on a busy city street.
Now let’s meet her……… what you don’t know her??????? Let me have the privilege of introducing her to you. Her name is Aila and boy she was something. (Don’t get me wrong there is no doubt about my orientation I am as straight as a geometric ruler!!!!!!). Well she came at a speed of 90 km/hour and swirled the city. According to Botany there were 1850 trees that were uprooted from which Biology can easily conclude that there is less Oxygen and more Carbon dioxide in our city air, so shall we think before we breathe or may be we should start a campaign on “Conservation of Breathing” or “Recycle your breathing” kinds.
The city was in a mess, with due respect to all I do not support those honchos who sat on the streets to protest against the delay in the restoration process the day after Aila swallowed our very own city, neither do I support those who were supposedly responsible for delaying the restoration process. But my salute to those who went through the pain for almost 3 days at a stretch without water and electricity.
Hats off to you Guys!!!!!!!!!!!

Yes I am a follower
Yes...............i did it .......(no prizes for guessing ).....have been here for long seen people write post and redefine themselves.I thought "Why would I???" I never wrote apart from answer sheets which graduated into bullet points in meeting synopsis at work.
But who cares........... I realised the freedom of expressing and also the need of it may be
Thus here I am
