small or medium

By
How many people would ask you that question? In what context will they ask? Where will they ask? 
I suddenly felt lighter and smoother while the wind smoothen over me. My walk had spright. The breath going out could feel the bottom part of upper lips.
Did I have an haircut today? You bet I did. My arms movement is clean as armpits have no resistance. 
They have an air conditioned one and a normally conditioned one with open doors. I generally go to the AC saloon and today too I went in and sat in amazement as one person was having haircut and another was waiting. There was only one barber. It was 6:30 AM on a friday morning. I was disappointed. I could not sit there for long as person having haircut was familier and after initial lead to embarrasing silence. Second person who sat there looked familier and as always I was confused as to make the first move or not. The room was stuffy as AC was not working. I wanted to tell the guy but simply went out.
Their second place was more conducive as everyone was unfamilier but the situation was same. Then the head of the honchos come and I spread my eyes wide open laying down the carpet of foundation for him to welcome me to one of three vacant chairs. 
He was not pleased and on query ansewered that he was going to devasthanam. I was happy and wanted to wish him happy pilgrimage but he mentioned he was off to Banasanakari temple which was less than 5 kms away. His workplace starts at 6 and he was off to temple at 6:30. God bless him but he ensured that another of his accomplice turn in and start serving the customer. 
And he asked me "Small or medium?"

Shivani, Brahmakumaries and Aastha channel

By
She comes twice on TV from 7:10 PM to 7:40 PM and 10:30 to 11:00 PM on Aastha channel. The spiritual channel story in India is on same lines as that of Aaj Tak , which was run by local ads before the big boys put ads on them. Today Shivani, a Brahmakumari mentioned that 99% of the cause of anger and frustration is elsewhere, it is not in the spur of the moment, when you hurt somebody or get hurt by somebody. Instead of reacting instantaneously , or pestering the reaction in the mind post the incident till eternity , can you wonder "Why is that soul so angry, what is bothering her? I am sure there is something more than what she has told me now?". The chain of thoughts that emerge lead you to compassion, releases love vibrations into the air. Love has a very subtle medium to reach out. You cannot yell and throw around love and claim that you are helping somebody by your love. You have to surrender to love and let love take over. You cannot correct the world. You can onl...

Success is exchange of energy

By
The definition of success is very elusive. It means different things in different phases of life to different people. When I was in school and college it was to pass somehow. When I was in 12th it was to get into engineering somehow. When I was in job it was to make more money anyhow. When you were in marriage it was to demand happiness and feel proud in pronouncing to yourself that every act of a frustrating job was for the sake of family and their well being. I was focusing on doing. I was focusing on achievement. So whenever I reflected back in life I always felt less. I could have been an IITian, I could not crack CAT. I could not join an organization during their early stock offer days. I could not go to US and earn in dollars. I simply missed doing too many things.  Now I feel lack of achievement. Now I feel lack of doing. Did I miss out on something while I was undergoing all this doing? Why was I nervous all this while? Why did one achievement led to other? Why...

pay bbmp property tax online 2009-10

By
A neat way to pay property tax online if you have a property in bangalore. As launch offer BBMP is not charging extra on credit card payment. You can go to http://218.248.41.198/ and choose form IV or V depending on whether there has been any change in your property from last year. You will need Application number from assessment year 2008-09. The number on top right corner of pink form. If you are lucky to have saved it to your files. Not the white receipt. You will reach a pre-filled form which either you can print to pay in nearest BBMP center or if you have started to trust online gateways and carry a credit card then choose to pay online. Remember to note down the new application number NOW. You never know when you will need them.
