Stop Unecessary Forwards

Someone sends a forward expects us to send the same to another thereby spreading a message. What really gets to me is that the very people who send these informative, interesting articles or pictures are the same ones who do not practice their preach (forwards). Ahem!

Though I love reading interesting articles, there are some mails that boast of creating some kind of wealth in your life if you spread the so called joy! Initially I was rather worried about all this but forward I did anyways sending it to ten people (or more) as the mail stipulated, because if I didn’t – then something bad would happen! Finally I called their bluff and stopped… life goes on with its ups and downs.

There is a new touch to the forwards now - send it to ten or more people to show you care. Who assimilates some of these far-fetched stories anyways? Sure, interesting news is definitely food for thought and action even, but sending unnecessary spam and creating hype through crazed chain mails are dumb.

I remember a time quite long ago when I happened to send a couple of these forwards to a list of people. One recipient was livid and ordered that I stop this nonsense at once. I was mighty upset let me tell you, but realized that it was wrong to send across unnecessary junk.

There is another rule (I think) that some forwarders have, they aimlessly send across stories, but never actually make time to write to the people they send mails to. Many a time, they even forward 'information' to a group just for the sake of it to show all and sundry that they have a friend network. However, if the same people imbibe what they read and/or send, it proves that they have learned something along the way.

Stop spam...

Cheating

Why do people throw good relationships for a quick roll in the hay? This practice seems to be growing and practically every second person in a committed relationship doesn’t think twice about two timing his/her partner. However, when they are “found out” these individuals don’t think twice about promising the moon and once forgiven you can be pretty sure that they are gonna do (sic) the deed again and again. I think that once they go the entire hog, they just aren’t gonna curb their enthusiasm! Cheaters know their partners will relent no matter what. They preen themselves with having “won”! However, if a person cheats on me, I would tell the jerk to beat it. Rather be single, keep your dignity intact than stick with some douche bag. Not my cuppa … What about you my lovelies?

Water Woe

Here’s a problem about the water scene that’s plaguing our city with the authorities taking a lackadaisical attitude about our woeful situation. Guess privatization of this inactive force needs to be the hour of the day. What say? The heat at this time of the year in Feb is rather pinching and I really wonder what it’s gonna be like in the coming months. Here’s hoping that some rain will give us a breather and in consequence fill the reservoirs and enable the water man to actually attend to our ardent need. Moving on from the tale of gloom, with the onset of summer it’s time for the sleek and svelte to don the most happening items in vogue and show off their splendid bods. To the rest of us metabolically slow, we trudge the path of heat with the longing that this brand of ‘exercise’ (or lack of it) would shed the unwanted girth! Anyways, it’s a good time I guess both ways, coz everyone maybe a winner because..........the heat is on! ....... but not the ones with lack of water...

It Is Election Time - No Chance of Watching A Rerun For Sure

Just another day in the life of an average person who wants to watch a rerun of Friends but has to make do while flipping from NDTV, Tiranga, India Today, Times Now, Mirror Now, and the rest. I live in hope that I can watch my reruns again! Will have to wait for the 23rd! Okay, I get it, watching television is not everyone’s cuppa today, though many of us mere mortals still turn on the television to watch a program or the other, especially the news, at this point of time, with elections going full gusto. In my life, while I would love to watch reruns of old comedies, Mum watches the news. When I asked her the other day, why not watch WWF instead - I explained that it is way cooler than the mudslinging, she looked at me as if I had lost my mind. What can I say, Mother I replied. My thoughts were, aren’t we slowly losing the plot while getting drawn into debates? I avoided saying anything more, or I would have been drawn into a debate! We are gripped into this frenzy based on rhe...

How Do I Say Goodbye

How Do I Say Goodbye?    You are God’s chosen one, watching me from above I wasn’t able to be with you during your most difficult time Mimi how I wish I can get back to that period when your illness was not prime What do I tell you, my sweet sister, except that I am shattered The last message you sent me was that you were coming back alive - that really mattered   This new normal is impossible to take I hold back tears and try to be strong, I feel so fake You know what I am going through, don’t you sweetheart? Coz you and I were never ever apart If I can just touch you for a mere minute the pain may disappear God knows best as I hold on to memories that are so dear You are my best friend, my confidant, my sparring partner Be free from pain darling girl, rest in peace I love you, and I always will
