Shopping clothes

There are some people who look at the price tag before looking at the dress. Some look at the dress and don't even look at the price before purchasing at the counter.

There are few who look at the dress and then the price. Whereas few look at the price and then the dress?

Which one are you?

Lol

Isn't this funny? People are funny.

They learn on their own


I looked at the water and saw tons of stones floating only on one side of the river. What did just fall from the sky I wondered? When I walked past this place an hour back, there was nothing there. I looked at them again and again. And suddenly I realized the stones had wings and beaks and those were not stones but birds!

What made them all gather to the edge of the river I wondered. I could think of only one thing and it was so obvious.
The sun was setting and as the sun went down on the other side of the mountain across the river, the sun's reflection only reached this side of the river.
With the temperature falling with the pace at which sun was setting, the little birds all gathered in the only sun lit area of the water.
Looks like they savour the warmth till the very end! I found it very interesting, took a picture to post here too!

Hey! This reminds me of something very similar I saw at my Aunt's place in Mumbai. There was a B.E.S.T bus depot just behind the place where my aunt lived in Dadar. First thing we heard at noon was a siren and then if we looked outside our window, we would see all the employees outside in the open area. They just stood still, no talking no eating no smoking, nothing. Just sun bathing in the middle of the day!

The Tender King

Last weekend we went to watch a play at the Phoenix theater in SF. It was very entertaining.It still baffles me how the stage artists remember 2-3 hours of play dialogues.


The story was around 2nd world war. The play had only 3 actors. A German woman who wants to save her brother who is in a war camp. She is a mistress of a US guy who is in London as part of the coalitions committee and is sent to the US army head to sign a letter on agreement of the Japan bombings.


What was fascinating about the play was how the 3 would swap between 2 scenes. One small stage with sofa, table and 2 chairs. The timing of the lightings was outstanding.


And the audience sits right around the small stage. They cover 2/3 area around the stage and are a feet away from the actors. Right in front of the actors, eye to eye.


Reminded me of practice sessions my mom and sis used to have at the Mapusa Hanuman Natyagraha during Ramnavmi.More like an audition and we were the judges.

Btw food and drinks are allowed. So imagine how you would enjoy a live play with a chilled beer in your hand.

Intuition

I was 15 minutes late to work. My office shuttle picks us exactly at 9 and is rarely a minute or 2 late. At times it is 10-15 minutes late but it is difficult to predict on what days.

Today is one of those days. As I started the drive from home to the office shuttle pick up spot, I knew I don't have to hurry. I don't have to panic. I need not worry.

And guess what? It is 9:25 and I am still waiting along with the few others for my shuttle.

There have been such situations in recent past where I felt 'oh no! Got to take the train. Gosh! What's the train schedule like? I'll miss it.'
And ar all times I have been right.

So 3 cheers to Baba Shreya!

Personalized workspace

Do you decorate your cubicle? I guess I am not that into such things and would never carry stuff to office and keep them there to stay.

Wouldn't it be painful to then pack them when you gotto move? Would be very depressing. Don't you think?

I think our work desks portray our personality in many ways.

Mine is usually plain and dull. Shows how lazy I am.

Here are some pictures I took in office today. The little teddy, looking to get attention of every person walking towards the printer looks pretty lonely. Don't you think?
