To one of the few good men out there

This post has been overdue for a long time and I want to quickly put it in the post before my experiences and my memories about this great man are forgotten.

    Here is one noble soul who inspires a lot of people every day, who helps everyone in need, who never gets angry at anyone despite any number of attempts, who takes challenges like another day in life.

    To me he was my guru, seeking his advice in every stage of my life during my life in Value labs; during those days even my mother used to ask me if I had sought his advice before attempting anything (like buying a bike, career plans etc.)

    To girls and ladies he was the ultimate Krishna; he is not a super star and he doesn't romance with them but he knows how to talk to people, how to resolve issues and deadlocks; in my view he is one of the best.

    As a fresher, I was fortunate to have many inspirational people around me (I've written other posts about those people)

    To recollect some of my experiences with him, we almost start from office in the evening every day at the same time, most of the time stopping at the bajji/bonda shop or fruit salad shop; playing some not so good badminton on some saturdays/sundays. I accompanied him with his quest for a bride, he knows what to choose and I feel he is blessed to have a very good life companion.

    Everyone seeks his advice, its not me alone and everyone listens to him, that's probably is the biggest gift from god to him; to make everyone listen to you is a remarkable feat.

    I hope more and more people get benefited by him; he is probably one of the very few unselfish people on this planet.

There are more good things about him but my faded memory has tough time recollecting those due to the time gap (8 years since we both last worked together)

I don't want to mention his name, he is more than a name and every time I read this post, it reminds me of what "goodness" realls means.

the day bujjamma started swimming

Bujjamma's first swimming lesson happened yesterday - 12th may 2014 - sunday between 11:10 AM and 11:35 AM
he was very good, looked like a natural swimmer, he was overjoyed in the water.
My wife told me that he was in ectcasy, I was holding him and following the teacher's instructions in the pool so my wife has seen more than I did.
ofcourse what I could observe was that he was at his best as usual, completely volatile, jumping in joy and kicking his legs like an avid swimmer.
Good on him, he is the same like me, over active and learns very fast.

Amazing cooks

             Not many people have this gift which makes them special and I have seen only a few of these kind. I am talking about cooks, not the ones in the restaurant but people who cook food in general in our homes.
            I like cooking and I cook a lot; my curries, soup , fries etc are good and I like them but I cannot call them tasty. There is this thing which differentiates a good food and a tasty food and that is always missing from my cooking.
          When my wife cooks something, I can see that additional touch, that touch of glory and that unique gift where only few people have. I can see that she is among those few who are truly gifted. Her each dish is a treat to my palate.

          The same is true with my mother-in-law's fish curry; she has this amazing ability to make wonderful fish curries.
          I can recall how my taste buds were dancing with joy when I used to have "tomato daal" prepared by my grand mother, tomato/brinjal (eggplant) pickle (manual preparation not with a grinder) , my mother's spinach/green leaf daal.
          These people are exceptional cooks in their own way and my wife of course stands apart due to her innate ability in making every dish special!

           A big bow to these wonderful women, I am indeed one of those few fortunate beings!!!!!

when your monthly salary takes a break

This is probably the worst one can expect in his/her life; what if your salary takes a break for a particular month? 
Everything falls down under; you won't be able to pay your mortgages, your car loans, your rent, your gas bill, electricity bill, water bill, credit card dues and your usual monthly expenses for groceries, transport and food.

Its kind of strange that most of the people on earth earn their living through salary and everything in a man's life revolves around salary; its just so bad that a precious human life is just a waste without a salary.

Most of the countries "tax" their individuals and I feel its also a nation's responsibility to "salary" its individuals.
You can't have one way.
