What a day!

Today is our 14th marriage anniversary. So my husband decided to stay at home. We planned to go to some movie, relax, just talk and spend a day happily! But alas... He started some work over weekend, some proposal ("business" proposal I mean...) and all our plans were gone with the wind! I think over all these years I now somehow know how to expect things to happen. So I am not disappointed and I am very satisfied with myself for that! Now I hope our plans for the dinner will be carried out more satisfactorily!!
He worked from home today so I still got some quality time to spend with him. All we talked about was share market trading!! Today our finance minister presented the annual budget in the parliament and my husband traded on the right side of the market! He was very happy about it and he lent me some information about it!! (These men! I really doubted why he stayed home for... is it the anniversary or he wanted to see the budget speech and keep an eye on market!!) But all the same I am happy as I had gained some new information. I really am very bad with the financial market and all the Numbers involved... Pure mathematics like matrices, integration, derivatives etc I am o.k. with... but when that money word comes in between my maths collapses completely! I really don't know why... so now I am trying to improve it! And of course I am not telling him about it before my goal is achieved!! (I know in my guts that even if he tries to be patient and gentle, all his comments and efforts to encourage me will frighten me soon enough!) So that is my resolution of the Day! I will surprise him with my knowledge of finance next year...
After months' wait it rained properly like a Monsoon day today! As all our water resources depend upon the Monsoon it's a really happy day after the worries that rain will never come and it would be a draught like situation this year in this part of the country. The situation is still not much different as we need lots of more rains; but at least it had started. So in all this day was full of all kind of emotional ups and downs! What a day!!

No offence meant! When I started my computer I was shocked to see this image on my screen... What does it mean? This is so typical of Vipul ! He always does that. Some code or the other to decode for everyone else...He so much enjoys pulling legs of others on top of it... But this time he had overdone it! Ok. I am on it! I have to do it before anyone else this time. I was concentrating very hard on it when the phone rang. I didn't hear the noise first then I didn't recognise it. But my brain came to its normal sharpness after a while. I have to answer the phone right now! This has to wait for a bit then... Vipul.!.. Again so much like him. Disturbi

To be part of the next edition, visit and start following Blog-a-Ton . Hi friends, I am time...I flow continuously. I have witnessed so many things! But I am helpless. No one had been ever so helpless than me! I have to see everything... I can't change things, I can't stop things, I can't alter things. I just have to watch them as they happen! But now I feel I have to do something! So I am here today to discuss , share things with you . Why today? Today you are celebrating a teacher's day. Teachers are supposed to shape minds of the new generation. So if I have some expectation of change what will be a more suitable day than this day? With great powers comes great responsibility. Teachers have great power over the minds of the children. They get the respect in the minds of students

I had received the award from Shilpa ( http://shilpaagarg.blogspot.com/ ) Thanks Shilpa!! It is called as:- The rules and regulations are as follows... “Honest Scrap” Award, is given by bloggers to other bloggers who express themselves and write/blog from their heart & soul. List 10 honest things about yourself — and make them interesting, even if you have to dig deep! Pass the award on to 7 bloggers who you feel embody the spirit of the Honest Scrap and whose blogs you find brilliant in design and content. So now I have to write 10 Honest things about me and I have to make them Interesting as well. How is it possible? See if all producers and directors made an honest movie , what will they be showing? If every writer started writing an honest book, what will they write about?( Can you see how naive I can be sometimes?!) OK. Yes I agree some people have such a life that if they start writing honest things people will be more than interested. But what can a simple middle class (ok.
