SS 57 Common Love - Page 74

Nisha  if i  may add
also stumbling upon the right people ...who share the same wave length😉 and find the time to be around with us...

No Pritee

I meet people all the time that are "so and so" I come home look them up in Linked In, they went to "Western-Eastern Conference Association University" (something ridiculous like that) and their summary sounds like they are the CEO

They talk about being part of "plum projects" and use words like "own" "administer" " engineer the $30 BILLION" project etc

I think... "Hmmm" "HOW could they do that?"

"They dont even look 50 to me... or 40 to me"

"WHAT is it about him or her that makes them someone's "Godchild?"

What else? Except Luck

Pritee MY luck boat sailed a looong time ago

I was at my Corporate office today and tomorrow, all day its a good one hour  drive from home I dont take the freeways, so its longer for me

Its all so over rated. So much stress, and so much politics.
All the games you have to play in order to be "noticed"

Though promotion and greater responsibility "sound" good. Its very stressful.

Dances we have to do 😭

We were talking about the definition of LUCK the other day

I still dont know the difference between good luck and good fortune/fate
But I know what luck is

Luck is:

Being in the right place at the right time
Knowing what to say
Projecting a certain image
Having a certain attitude

In combination all the 4 above mentioned things, result in climbing the ladder two three rungs at a time

Nisha 100% agree with you...
I am experiencing it from four of my team fellows..
But couldn't learn it from past one year looking at them

They very well know how to project them n how to bitch about each other to get the things done...

Nisha do not be disheartened. If you don't make the choices, you will never know what or how it would have been. I am glad you took the opportunity when you did. Whether it is the way you wanted  or not, is a separate issue, Lekin jab tak kuen mein giroge nahi then how will you know how deep the kuan is? Right. And having said that  I can also safely say that itni to akal hai that we won't really willingly fall into a deep deep kuaan. And yes everybody doesn't have the art to be at the right place, at the right time saying the right things...I used to feel really horrible seeing some of the  dumbos I had worked with climb up the ladder. Then I realized that they do the things I will never be able to do. I accepted who I was because compromising with my beliefs and ethics was too much. I am much happier now and not so traumatized. But sometimes it still hurts, and when that happens I literally push the thoughts away and focus on positive things.

Keep the positivity flowing ladies!!

It is indeed the best way to see or leed life.. To leave bygones and see right front.
One hav to take chances, make choices , irrespective of the results. And in a way it's good also
To not know wht effect ur choices will make ... It makes life interesting to see how it folds!
As u said best is to be urself believe in urself then u will not regret wht may come .

Good luck and take care Ashu.

Nisha, as I age and looking at the world around I really feel should have never grown up.
Kids life is the best.
But I guess today's kids also ensure lot of pressure.

One and 20

Akka teased her and chatted "normally" at dinner, the doctor called to say Periappa's seizure from the evening had subsided, it lasted an hour or two intermittently sometimes

II wanted to ask Appa again about taking him home, she decided to approach the topic again tomorrow or when she was ready to go home

"Where were you? U had a itchy belly Amma said and you were gone for an hour" II accused

"And I took Amma's car" Akka smiled

"WHERE did u go?" II asked startled

"Nowhere" Akka refused say

"When are u leaving?" II asked
"12th is the beginning of Navaratri, so 11th" Akka said emotionlessly


"Are u doing golu?" "Do u need help?" II asked eagerly

Akka shook her head disinterested

"Amma you?" she asked

Amma nodded, confused  "Appa and I will come and give you your dolls and figurines" "Since this is your first"

"Will you keep?" Appa asked

"I WANT TO PA. I want to show Lasya and the 21 girls I am having"

"YAAR DI 21?" Akka asked startled

"I have ONE, I only need 20" II giggled

"Lakshmi Venkat's daughters" Amma reminded, "Samyukta's Panchsheel cousin?" Amma asked

"Ayyo ma, its Tanmay's" Akka reminded

"Yes yes" Amma nodded

"What about Bala's NOIDA cousin?" Akka asked

"SEE I have SEVEN" II laughed

Amma smacked her "I gave them all" she smiled

"I only need 14 Ma" II begged

"Bala Mami's pethi, Rohini Mami, Natesan Mama's cousin, Sam's neighbors?" Amma asked

After adding every which way, they could only come up with 12

Shravu's pizza arrived... he scarfed it down like he was hungry for days

II held baldie for a few minutes and got ready to go

"Can I take him with me?" she asked softly

"Take him" Akka smiled warmly

II kissed him hard, he began to cry...

"Cho cho... cutie" she whispered

"Appa if they send him home Friday can I take him home?" She asked

AYYYO!
HE IS GOING TO BE UPSET
U ARE A MOTOR MOUTH DI

"Enakku ishtam ille" Appa said calmly (I dont think so)

"PLEASE PA" Akka shrieked

"Vandu you dont understand" Appa began

"I DO pa, they eat meat... and you dont like R&B" Akka said firmly

"And since these are my opinion they dont have any value" Appa mumbled

"She is pregnant with his child" Amma whispered

Appa nodded, and patted her head  "I will take you home"

"No pa I have a driver" she said

"Stay here" he offered

"I will come during Navaratri" she said joyously

"Akka" II whispered..

Akka walked out

Amma packed all leftovers for her, and jasmine string and burfi and mixture

"Is everything OK?" II asked in the landing

"Dont worry" Akka said

"I will" "Sollu ka" II asked

"I met Bala outside" Akka said

"Secret meeting with HUSBAND?" "WHY?" II asked

"Vidu di" Akka mumbled

Amma came down to hand II's phone...

"Vandu, its cold u are not wearing chappal" Amma scolded
Akka nodded

Amma went up

"It looks like its getting harder and harder for Bala to adjust to Samyukta and Tan" Akka mumbled

"What happened?" II's heart sank

Akka shook her head

"Did they say anything?" II asked shocked

"No nooo they are only nice" "Kann edire, ivlav vasadiya, ivlav nallavala, yaaravadu
irunda, uruthum ille?" (someone in the line of sight thats so wealthy, and related to us, and so nice, it pricks like a thorn)

"Did he say something?" II asked cautiously

"They had a crate full of fire crackers shipped over from Sivakasi,
Bala's budget is Rs.1000... Shravu LOVESSS fire crackers."Akka sighed

II stared deeply

"Bala's phone needs to be changed its battery keeps dying, Shravu wants iphone 6, its Rs.35,000?
We went to look at phones without his knowledge. Kids these days..." Akka chuckled

"What did u fight about?" II went to her observation

"Nothing kanna" Akka didnt say, just kissed her cheeks firmly

II went home with unanswered questions, And lots of leftover food, and a ball of strung jasmine

She went up, Ranjan was in the shower Mahavir said

A text popped in her phone

As she leaned on a chest of drawer in the 2nd floor living room,
and slid it open to stare at a stack of childhood pictures of Akka and her... Amma had given her..

"Heard you were pregnant. When did u plan to tell  the Dad?☺️" Dude's text slid in

She smiled fondly... overcome with emotion and love at the innocent attempt to tease her when she felt so low

"The Dad knows" she teased back😳
