Segregation is Key to Shake off that Garbage




This happen to you any time?

You've put out the finest.
Dressed up the home.
Got the place looking nifty, warm and inviting.
You welcome everyone.
No one comes.

You invite a good number of people for a birthday celebration – just two come over. A couple of the crowd, stride in hours later and not fashionably so!

Economically you are on a relatively good pitch.

Across social networking sites, you score rather well.
The like buttons are on an overdrive.
Sharing something that you put up on social media is constant.
The STATS are on an all time high.

WhatsApp messages blink often.

The phone rings occasionally.

The lounge looks Spartan without anyone else but you.
What IS the matter? Are you an F2F social misfit? Do you not meet the cut? What IS happening?

You agonize over the situation and mull over various aspects. Cry over ‘friends’ and ‘family’ who do not make the time to connect with you. Many don’t even message. The others who do, keep in touch when they are bored. The situation seems to spiral out of control and you haven’t the foggiest as to what could be the problem. Discussions with family members who want to help, listen. You dialogue about the lackadaisical attitude shown toward you. Is this the way the cookie crumbles? Should you cry over fake ‘friends’? Worry over relatives who have no clue about the ties that bind. Remember that a friend is someone who keeps in touch. A relative who really is a part of the ties that bind, will make it a point to reach out, connect and visit. If neither show any inclination to keep in touch in any manner, all that you need to do my dearies is literally shake off the garbage. Try a new strategy – segregate the wet waste from the dry waste. You will finally get the answer my darlings.

On that note, have a good year and anyone who dares to treat you like crap, uses you in any way is really not worth getting emotional over.

XO…

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...

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?

Happy Birthday Mama Mary

I sit here thumping away on the keyboard wondering about what to write and it dawns on me…… Many years ago when I was a young girl I was approached by a lady in Church to play the role of Mother Mary. She wanted to put up this enactment about the apparition of Mary to a group of children. I did not know who the person was and was surprised - my first thought was to decline as I was extremely shy. However, she did not pressurize me and instead asked me to think about it and after doing so and sharing it with the folks, I accepted the role. This play went on for about fifteen minutes but they were the best moments of my life. Many years have gone by…but this wonderful memory remains with me always. However, I feel sad at the number of people who do not acknowledge Our Lady. Jesus said “Son this is your mother and mother this is your son” and thus we embrace Mary as our blessed mother. She, as any mother, helps us with our problems, intercedes on our behalf and in return we than...

That Sexy Piece of Covetousness

She felt dreadful about what she did – she never meant to go all the way. In fact, she loved the way things were – she was glowing. Looking good for all to see was evident. Investing in a relationship was all that she believed in … why oh why, did she give into that impulse and travel the rocky road of cheating, she thought. The advice from the friend circle was the same, get up, get going and do not let one stray incident spoil things. It was easy for them she thought, she had to live with the ramifications. She had invested a great deal of time and money not to mention the effort that she put into the relationship. This indulgence cost her plenty. She could not turn back time! What was she to do? Tell him or keep quiet. That unbridled passion was playing havoc with her every step of the way. In some strange way, she did enjoy the excitement of this cat and mouse game. She felt alive again after such a long time. She knew that she gave into temptation but the sheer pleasure that came...

Narrow Path

When I look at your arms on the cross stretched wide Your eyes filled with love encouraging us to drop the divide But no matter which way we trudge You love everyone without even the slightest grudge. Temptations all around enticing us with its wares How do we ignore these pangs and stop its glares? Many ridicule us because of the road we follow Help us set an example and travel the path of straight and narrow.
