Well - life at any stage is an adjustment Adi - we all are making them in one way or the other in any field. With your loved ones support, that adjustment becomes a little easier may be, if the two have the understanding. Keep in mind, love doesnt find a manifestation only in sacrifice - its lot more than that; Its working towards the well being of the relationship, its about supporting each others strength rather than imposing ones own on the other - and sacrfice is surely not the answer to it! The one who loves you will understand that for sure.

SET 3-Warm up contd….😛

1. "Speech is silver, silence is golden"- then what is diamond?

The unspoken that is communicated through this silence 😳

1. "Absence makes the heart go fonder"- does this mean one should always stay away from his /her loved ones?

No - in absence, you remember the beautiful times spent with the person, and find memories are the biggest treasures of a lifetime. But you do need to spend enough moments with the person to create those memories so that you can cherish them thereafter 😳

1. "No news is good news" – if no news is good news, then how did the news about the good news reach you?

The channel of communication here is intuition 😛

1. "Every Dog has his day"- what does a donkey have?

Yaar - the poor donkey works hard through the day, as without the sharp grey cells - labor is his only forte. So, may be he can have his night and get charged for the next day 😃

1. "First come, first served"- What happens if you come in third, does that mean you don't get served? Isn't this prejudice?

😆 No its not - you will procrastinate and yet will hope that you will be served is just too much of an expectation. Thats why they say 'kaal kare so aaj kar' 😳

1. "Charity begins at home" – Does this mean you give more pocket money to your children?

No - it means that you buy a lovely dress for your wife every fortnight 😉

1. "A great talker is a great liar" – does that make a shy introvert the most truthful person?

No - because action is mightier than words - so introvert or extrovert, what really defines the person is the actions that he/she does.😊

1. "Don't put all your eggs in a basket"-what about if you want to put them in the same bag?

🤔 - I think there is no problem there; the eggs will find the bag more protected and will stay there happily without fighting with each other 😆

1. "Fortune knocks once at every man's door" –why is fortune so lazy?

Fortune is not lazy; it wants you to be proactive and grab the offer; so you better stop being lazy😆

1. "Let sleeping dogs lie"-what if the dog want to doze off while sitting?

That will be too uncomfortable for the poor dog😭.. He will eventually stretch out to be more comfortable 😃

Just a few questions to get to know you better.

1. What part of India do you live in?

Kolkata - The City of Joy 😳

2. Your engineering degree - in which area is it?

It was Chemical Engineering - With specialization on Process Simulation; Today however, I am doing something very different from that 😕

3. What is your profession at the moment? Does your work give you job satisfaction?

I am a Software Architect cum Project Manager... Yes, I think my work challenges me well, and hence love it 😊

4. Have you travelled outside of India. If so, where?

My dad was in a transferable service with the Govt of India and hence as a kid spent some considerable amt of time in some of India's neighbouring countries (Nepal and Afghanistan)

As a part of my job, I have been to the US and UK for projects. I have been to Singapore on vacation. In fact, I am in the US now for a month for a similar project 😊

5. If you have an opportunity to visit foreign countries, where would you like to go and why?

I would like to visit quite a few places in Europe actually. From what I have read and heard, its beautiful. I have seen glimpses of that in Scotland and would like to explore it more. Also, from the lovely pics that Adi has shared abt the mountains and lakes - I do wish that I do visit the beautiful part of Canada as well someday 😊

6. Are you married and do you have any children? How do you manage home and career? Life is fast paced here as I am sure it is in India too and I would love to know how a woman copes there with a career and homefront.

Yes I am married, and no dont have children as yet. Yes, managing both home and career together is a big challenge and I think it becomes little easier when you have a very understanding spouse and supportive in-laws. For the past few years, we were in Bangalore, and me and my husband had a great understanding of sharing the household chores as well as taking care of the external utility routines. Now, when we are back to Kolkata and are actually staying with the in-laws; the support system is all the more solid - and hence the juggling has eased up quite a bit👍🏼

7. During the time you have spent in India, do you think the attitude towards an Indian woman has changed? Do women in India have equal rights?

The attitude towards Indian women has definitely changed over times, and is constantly getting changed with each passing moment. Our generation has a lot more freedom to think for themselves and take their own decisions - and thats a great step forward. As for having the equal rights or not; I think woman anywhere in the world still do not have the equal rights in its true sense - and so is the case with India. But women are fighting each moment to carve out the space from themselves in what is still a predominantly man made world!😊

8. If there is one thing you can change in the Indian society, what would it be and why?

I would let the Reservation Policy go off. Any reservation based on any criteria is not healthy to the society. Give all the equal opportunity (and that may mean some sort of financial aid to the economically backward) and let the person with the best potential come up as the winner👍🏼

9. Have you met any Bollywood personalities in person? What was your reaction?

Not that I remember of. I have attended a lot of concerts, but have not really felt like meeting them in person. I am sure, I have seen quite a few while in transition in airports 😃

10. If a person like me were to get married and come to live in India, how would my transition be? I have never been to India yet. Do you think I would have a lot of adjustment problems? What parts of India do you think I would feel most comfortable to settle in?

Well Minali - wherever you get married, you will have to adjust with a new person, new surroundings, new lifestyle and small day to day things. Yes, if its an alien place and alien city - the adjustments will surely be more. People may want you to wear a saree for the grand occassions and you may not be comfortable with that 😛 You may not be comfortable with say the spicy food habits of your spouse. So adjustment will be there everywhere, may be a little more here as you are totally unexposed to the country. The best bet to settle in India, I guess will be Mumbai - as the people are most cosmopolitan there and you will have your space and thinking to live the way you want more than the other more conservative places like the North, South or the East.😊

11. I read on the first page that you never ask MOTW easy questions?😆 Is that correct? What sort of questions do you ask?

Well - I personally think, I always ask the easy questions 😛. You would never need to go to google uncle to answer them, and may be the previous MOTWs can vouch for it - they would never feel bored answering my simple questions 😳

More later Jaya.😊 Thanks in advance.
