Control - Is a very important thing. If you have control, you have a lot of peace in life. Agree?
Be it the Control of Temper, Tongue or of Things, Control is a very powerful self discipline to inculcate.
When we have to manage things around us, what is it that we do? We pick a few things and not all the things to handle. But the smart ones ensure they are in control of the entire circle and not part of it. This is one of the wiser life lessons that I happen to learn very recently.
Now, when we think of tongue, it is a slippery place, but we need to control it, because hurtful words once spoken cannot be taken back.
Temper is never a good thing to nurture. It ideally shouldn't be shown, but if it needs to be shown then it should be dealt in a mature way , else it is futile. One will be wasting their time and energy.
So, remember the 3T's!!
It has been a while I switched from Android to IOS phone. So, from that day, I had not transferred anything from my Phone to my Laptop. so last week, while on a Video Call with my cousin brother, I decided to clean while conversing. Yes, there is something about we women, who can multi task beautifully and I am most definitely one among them.
So, we began our video call, and electronic gadgets clean up together. To my utter dismay, I realized I had about 2900 photos to be transferred from my laptop. Good Lord! I dont think I clearly think when I click away. I only realize later. Phew!
As I took 40 mins to transfer, I check listed Task 1. My brother showed me his house, his gym set-up in the basement, his flora consisting of wide variety of beautiful plants. Then, we both decided to download a few software's. First was Team Viewer. Successfully Done. Then upgraded iTunes. After which I upgraded my AutoDesk and Java Software. Finally, I downloaded Anti - Virus and it was all done. After nearly 2.5 hours, I had cleaned up my phone and my laptop successfully, while connecting with my brother.
I am sorted for a few more months, before I start this all over again with additions and deletions!
Mind The Malhotras - My first Web series of the Month. I had been seeing the trailer for a few days and I was waiting to watch it when it aired on June 7th. There are 8 episodes and not too long, so I could watch it over a period of two days. It's about half an hour roughly.
The story revolves around a Couple who goes into Therapy and every session the Counselor asks them questions and they go to show what happens in their lives. Father, Mother, Three Kids, Mother - In - Law and the House Help.
Overall, it is a nice show and the biggest merit is it is devoid of Bad Language and Strong Content. So overall it is entertaining.
Rating: 4.5/5
Recommendation: Medium - High
Go watch it Folks - The Malhotras are Funny and Entertaining!!
A few days back, we decided to goto Nanjundeshwara, to visit Lord Shiva. So yesterday, we all left to visit Nanjungud. Since, we left early morning, we reached by 10 A.M. To our greatest surprise, the temple wasn't crowded like always. so we went in without a line. So happy to have been able to see the lord peacefully without people pushing and pulling. We were allowed into the first sanctum and we got to see the lord in all his glory from a very close proximity. Those few seconds to see the Lord in peace, was indeed soul cleansing. Har Har Mahadev!
After that we went to Tripura Sundari Jwalamukhi Temple. Very beautiful Goddess. We were just in time before the temple was closing up for the afternoon. We then had lunch. Our next stop after lunch was to visit Sri Ranganathaswamy. The majestic sleeping Lord is an absolute delight to see. We then had out last stop at Nimishamba. We visited the Goddess and there concluded our trip back home.
Whoever said temple tours are boring!
EXAM - For some it is a dreaded word, but for some it is a joy. And any guesses, I come under the later category. Yes, I absolutely love the feel of exams and enjoy writing them too. Sometimes, when I am taking an exam, I look around to see the different facial expressions of fellow exam takers. Some look extremely confident, some look ratty, some look happy, some look excited, some look weary, some look dreary. Each of them look ready to take the battle of the exams head on and the hope always is to clear the same and emerge victorious.
Every person who takes an exam, head high, chin up. go for it. Take victory to your stride!
I loved my maternal grandparents very dearly. They were my most favorites in the whole wide world. I lost my grandpa (my Naana), just before I graduated from Engineering. But then the solace was that my Grandma is still going to be with us. But in 2016, I lost my grandma too. That was a big blow.
A few days back, I wanted to keep a few sarees of my grandma. I took a few of her sarees to keep. Out of which, I happened to get one of my Grandma's wedding sarees. The other one went to my cousin. Just sitting there in front of her sarees, transports me into another world. They are my priceless possessions and forever treasured.
Sometimes, we say materialistic things we shouldn't be attached too, but times like this, it is the materialistic possessions that bring back those beautiful memories! Cherish the Materials, Cherish the Memories!!
A friend of mine was disturbed and the conversation didn't seem like usual. So I asked what happened and out came the story. After I heard the whole story, I asked why wasn't he angry and he told me such a beautiful thing - Why waste our energy being angry and screaming, all we have to do is submit proof to prove a point, and the matter gets resolved. Wow!!
When you sit and think, you feel this point is indeed so beautiful. Isn't it??
Today in the evening a friend and me decided to goto CTR for the popular Masala Dose. Of course, we had to do it, since we had been postponing for a while. So, today was the decided day. As we drove, there was a sudden downpour, mercilessly by the rain gods. And, we all know what happens in our city when it rains. The roads were clogged like crazy and traffic jam was insane. Yeah, more insane than usual.
As we were half way, we decided it wasn't possible to drive in this rain and diverted. From CTR we drove to Brahmin's Coffee Bar, a place I hadn't visited in all my years in this city. How I have missed it, I have no clue. But today became the D day for this place.
As we got out of the car, it started to drizzle. We made it to the place quickly. By then, the rain had started even more crazily in that area. We had hot Upma and Idly with Tea over our random topic conversations. Such fun times to stand with your buddy whom you have practically grown up with, enjoying desi food and chai, watching the rain. Oh, the small joys of having such good friends is above it all.
So for all those who have not been to the authentic Brahmin's Coffee Bar, please go today. Idly, Vada, Upma, Kesari bhaath, tea and coffee. Enjoy!
