The Monkey Menace
Somewhere in January of 1995 : Going to a temple atop a hill in Shimla. It was a school trip. I was the youngest. As it was a school trip and we were actually not that old, our pockets and bags were actually filled with lot of stuff to eat. I particularly remember Poppins !! The way was infested with monkeys all over. I don't remember much, but I do remember this.
One of the monkeys suddenly leaped from nowhere on to the girl behind me. I was pretty normal. But what I saw was something I never expected. The monkey, checked the pockets of the girl,looking for food and also opened the camera pouch and was about to check what was inside, but a dog came and the monkey was on top of a tree in no time. We were saved by the dog.
Conclusion : Monkeys are smart, and they learn a lot by visuals !!
Somewhere in the range of 2002-2004 : Dr. Kalra's Clinic, I was there for a checkup. I don't remember whether I was there for myself or just accompanying on of my friends. But what I saw was.
I young kid, not more than 2 years old, had a scratch almost 0.5 centimeter deep on his cheek. Not a good view. The mother of the child said it was monkey !!!
Conclusion : Monkeys are dangerous.
Some few months back : Another temple infested with monkeys, monkeys got hold of the clothing, and waited until we gave them something to eat.
Conclusion : I say smart, I say clever, I say Indian !!!
Yesterday : I was on a trip to a very dry but watery place. Confused ?? But trust me, it could not be described better than these two words used together. At some place a thought came into my mind. Suppose people ahead went out of there minds, something happened, and now all the monkeys are furious. I pushed the thought out of my mind. And I carried on.
Half an hour later, I saw as if somebody decided to play the thought which were running in my mind. And now the monkeys were furious. When we were climbing up, the monkey was directly above my head hanging on a branch. A couple on the left.
And then ...
A direct eye to eye contact with the monkey. The monkey gives a war cry, I get defensive, and give my own war cry. I continue walking and realise the monkeys on the left were directly now behind me. Cautiously I move side ways. The first monkey plans to attack and approaches. I thwart his attack, by a dummy bag throw motion. The monkeys goes far back. And this gives me enough time to get out of the danger zone. And so I did get out of the danger zone.
And trust me, until I reached to the place from where I started, I was on the look out for monkeys.
Conclusions :
1. Don't trouble monkeys. They only need food. You throw stones at them, they get furious.
2. Attack is the best policy of defense.
3. Don't think of anything bad, lest someone up there decided to have little fun with you.
There are few who know I afraid of monkeys, and those who know, they know it big time !!!

The Good Morning Mail !!!
There are times when everything is going wrong...and there are times when everything just clicks...well for me... these days its the former one!!
Friday morning, at work, I received a general Good Morning Forward from one of my friends. Usually I don't feel the need to respond to any of the forwards that I receive (sometimes I even delete them without reading them itself!!). But on that particular day, I did. And I did it in style which not many would want to repeat !!!
It so happened, that the particular mail, was sent to one of my another friend, couple of his colleagues, and it had the addresses of two ladies in the CC list. Well I wondered, why in the CC list and not with all of us.
I simply pressed ALT+L, deleted all the ids from the To field except his and my friend's. Wrote something about the ladies (it was something like, if they are single we are ready to mingle !! ) and sent the mail !!!
Did you notice something wrong ??
Well I did, as soon as the mail was out of my outbox, I realised, I didn't delete the CC list !!!
And so my day started on Friday.
The mail was aptly titled. "Good Morning"

Mentality of an MCP??
I was having this chat with du2 , below is a part from the conversation, that made me think.
kid : My friend was washing clothes, and I told him, get married.
du2 : You boys have the same mentality !!!
...
kid : And He said, "What will happen then, Now I am washing one's then I will wash two's !!"
Later I went on thinking of that mentality statement. I don't what enticed me, what she was saying, was right to an extend. One cannot expect to get married just because you want someone to wash your clothes, there got to be a more sensible reason.
But I guess it has nothing to do with mentality. I mean, could it be wrong, because whenever I go home, I expect my mom to take care of me. Does that tell me there's something wrong with my mentality ? Or expecting your spouse to take care somethings for you is wrong ? I mean, I am sure the person on the other side will also have some expectations ... and thats a definite.
May be this will qualify me to be an MCP, but that's OK. I think there is nothing wrong if I think some of the things to be taken care by someone else.

My Solitude !?
I have not changed,
I am only taking a break,
not from the people around,
but from the life around.
Trying to figure out things,
trying to stock take,
trying to keep myself busy,
away from those thoughts.
Have I changed,
Maybe, I can't be sure,
but the change in me,
does not demean you.
Its not that I don't need you,
but its only that,
I need my self with me.
I need to figure some things out,
get used to certain things,
chart a new path.
I wish you could understand,
I know you are trying,
but I also know you won't,
because we are just,
two different people at the end !!!
All I need you to understand is,
I need my solitude,
and when I am OK,
I will come running back to you !!!
And I know,
you will understand this !!!
Thanks for being there !!!

Common Sense !?
Whenever we are walking on a road, I usually get into this argument about which side of the road should we walk. The people who are with me, usually say on the left side (considering India or UK style, on which the traffic keeps on the left side). On asking them why, they usually say because thats the rule or some other lame reason.
Whereas, I always say on the right side. Reason being, that on the ride side you can see the car which is coming in front of you, and accordingly adjust your self on the road. (Forget about the footpaths, you wont find them, and when you do , there will be 2-wheelers trying to reach forward). Walking on the left side, I don't think I will see the car or whatever which is coming behind me and hence leaving everything on the mercy of the driver of the vehicle coming from the behind.
Walking on the right side, atleast you can be sure of yourself !!!
So which side will you choose ???
There was this saying we used when we were in school, went something like this !!!
"Common sense, is not so common these days !!"
PS : I have a theory on why people prefer the left side, but thats a material for a different topic.
