Blog 22 - My Proverb

I believe in this particular saying "Whatever happens, happens for the BEST."
I am a strong believer of this, and this is what makes me going in LIFE.

However hurt you maybe at a particular incident or at that time you may feel why me-- always believing that God intended it for a reason helps.

It makes you calm faster. It has always worked for me.

Whenever in life I have been through bad times, things that I think should not have happened to me.......something always happens later which makes me realize that what happened in the past happened for good.

That's my proverb...........what's yours??

Blog 20 - Nursery Rhymes for my baby

Nursery Rhymes are very important for babies to listen too and so is music .(read it somewhere)

so while I am too lazy to open the laptop and out on music I make my own songs for my little baby to put him to sleep.

I knew I should have noted most of them ....

Here is one of them.

My baby boy, I so shy

He does not cry

He wears no tie

He tells no lie

So time to say

Bye- bye

Another one is...

All you people, listen to me

I'll give you a big kick

Bcoz my name is Ritvik

One more

Oh Sleep Fairy come and give my sweetu baby some sleep today

All this I sing with made up music.

Blog 19 - Graduation Party

Today for the first time in US I attended a Graduation party. In India, graduation means whne you are done with your studies, unless you plan to do Post- Graduation.....mostly engg, 3 yr degree college or something like that.but here it is so common, even a kid going from pre-school to school graduates to it and I am not sure if parents have a party for that as well...

Since June first week is when typically school ends here the month of June and July will be full of graduation parties. If you happen to stay at a housing area, you will see lots of garages hosting them.

So since this was the first time I really did not know what to expect, but it was a good experience.

The party was arranged in the front yard and very informal. Lots of food was laid out with lots of sweet dishes too but we really could not eat all that.

All in all a fun event.

Blog 18 - Holiday Inn

Today I went to Holiday Inn, there was a company meeting hosted there. The sole purpose for me to go there was to check out the hotel, I had no interest whatsoever in the company meeting and in office there was not much work...

I have already been to Westin and Sheraton, so time to check out a new place.

It was not like the Holiday Inn in India and outside it looked like any Motel 8, with just 2 floors of accommodation I believe....

On entering in one has to cross the indoor pool to reach the hall that we were seated in. Quite a nice thing they had done with the pool with sculptures around it and tables arranged by the side for lunch.

The session had the usual breakfast with bagels, muffins, coffee.................

Lunch was a really good affair with Pasta, Salad, Chicken breast and soup..All the items tasted delicious...I should have put it in their feed back form but left a little early so as to not hit peak traffic.

So in all it turned out a good event, well the session was not 2 bad either :)

Blog 17- What do you do when you realize you are the "guilty"

All the while when he was not talking, you thought it is his problem. You analyzed and reanalyzed the past days and knew you had done no wrong.

You were wondering why he was behaving so childish.

Wasn't he mature enough to realize he should keep his feelings to himself?

Why trouble you and others?

And then out of the blue it comes, the reason for all his behavior is YOU.

When he pours it out, the realization hits you like lightening.

It is you who caused him all this trouble.

It was you whom he was trying to protect all this time

You were the sole reason for all the pain.....and what do you do when you know it hurts so bad , even saying SORRY a thousand times will not erase the pain.
