Praying for Good Health

I know a family comprising of parents and a teenaged daughter. The middle-aged father is a cheerful and active man . He complained of back pain but took it lightly and finally when the pain was unbearable, he was diagnosed with some problem in the spinal cord and operated upon. He was on strict bedrest for a couple of months and is yet to walk like a normal person though its about six months since the operation. Had he visited the doctor initially itself, the problem could have been cured without an operation. Looking at him, I realise the value of good health. In a matter of moments, his active life got changed to a passive one and that too totally unexpected.

In today's world, we get to know about so many new ailments that were unheard of till a few years back. Nowadays all hospitals are full of patients and sometimes there is no space to admit a new patient. Its time that we take good care of our health by following good eating habits and doing adequate exercises. It will atleast minimise the risk of ailments though nothing is in our hands. Plus, let us the remember the golden rule of " A stitch in time saves nine" and not postpone any visits to the doctor. Health is indeed wealth and I wish and pray that all of us lead a healthy life.

Wishing Everyone Tons of Wealth in the form of Good Health...

Two Useful Tips

If you have some personal news to share, you can save tons of money and energy by just informing it to one relative who will do the job of conveying the same to the whole family!! (without being asked to do so...who has such a big heart and is so helpful these days..) But beware, people aware of the news will pretend to be unaware of the same and question you about the same.

Another useful link is the friendly maid in your house..Every movement and every sneeze of yours will be conveyed to all in the neighbourhood, all for free...That saves you the trouble of informing people yourself...

Those who have not tried out these tips are urged to please try out the same, it works....

I fondly remember....

I fondly remember the days when

• I used to have gold spot/coke/thumbs up/ limca once in a year on a train journey...
• I used to eagerly wait for karjat station to arrive to eat the delicious vada pav...
• I used to await the school annual day as I would get to deck up in make up and get to lick the lipstick...
• I used to await my parents' anniversary to relish the much awaited dinner in a hotel ( Those were the days when hotel visits were very rare atleast for me)...
• Icecream was a rare treat and not served at every wedding...
• The much awaited STD calls would arrive after 8 PM and before 8 AM to take advantage of the off peak rates...
• I used to safely collect the cash gifted by relatives and cash prizes in school and deposit it in my savings account ( yes my dad opened a savings account for me when I was in primary school to inculcate the savings habit)

Celebrating Five Years of Togetherness!!!

with my laptop and mobile phone... ( Timepass seen running away for cover now..)

Yes, I celebrate five years of togetherness with both my laptop and mobile phone, but please don't congratulate both of them. If the laptop and mobile phone had a mouth to voice their feelings, they would have surely told about the torture I inflict on them till date. I have no intention of reducing the workload of the laptop anyways....Somehow the phone is a bit luckier than the laptop as it suffers less torture...The only way to escape from me is by becoming junk hahha..

Does Telepathy really exist??

It is said that if we sincerely think about a loved one, the feelings are sure to reach that person. About a week back, I was thinking about a dear one and decided to call that person right away. And guess what I hear on the phone " I was thinking about you since the morning, good you called me, I wanted to hear your voice." The same episode happened again after 3-4 days. Now, I know that some people have this habit of lying deliberately by saying " I was just thinking about you and was about to call you." But I also know that the person whom I called does not belong to this category. That leaves me thinking whether telepathy really exists... Anyways, it feels great when someone sincerely says " I wanted to hear your voice."
