Life Lessons

To be with people is like a
craving like a Chip 
embedded inside my heart

 It was early 1980 when I was
working and people used to come
to my office to talk about their
problems and to share

My colleagues were of the
opinion that people use to come with
heavy hearts and leave with
smiling faces 

They named my office
as " Hyde Park " where people
can talk about anything 

I salute those who shared their
personal matters with me having
confidence and their trust they were
sure that it will never be breached

They gave me Life lessons
were great teachers of mine
I got my listening skills developed
and my patience too
above all have a feel from other's 
prospective 

When we share something
we learn so much out of that

I realized that there is nothing
good or bad -- big or small 
sometimes very small things 
leave a scar and same is otherwise

Small things give lots of happiness
change our lives so never
underestimate anything and anyone
Everything counts

    Well we were a little red faced as we read today's blog. We thought that we wrote a comment for yesterday's blog however perhaps did not submit it correctly. In any case, wanted to let you know that it was a good change form the one day before

    Now for today's blog, every day we find something new and interesting about yourself. We cant say it is very surprising as you have a multi-faceted personality however it is still very special. Thank you for writing for us every day

    Dear Advisor,

    We met yesterday to talk about the advice you have given to us. We passed a unanimous resolution to express our thanks and appreciation to you for all the advice you have been sending our way via these blogs. We also were wondering if we can ask you for some additional advice as our membership is unclear in terms of how to be your own company. Our members have given me their consent to be candid with you and therefore I can report an example. One of our member went on a boat cruise organized by a local church that he is part of. He went with his wife and 2 other friends, yet they all were very bored as they did not know the other participants of the cruise. Our other members have similar stories.

    Also, our ex corporate executive has requested some additional insights so she can organize the walks.

    mrizvi: We also passed a resolution to condemn your comment of "good blog" when Smile described the fire incident. There was also debate about your intentions however it was hung vote as some members feel that you may either have not read it, or are not mature enough to understand the gravity of your comment. In future, please try to refrain from making comments without reading. Thank you

    I did not realize that you have so much experience in giving advice. No wonder you are so patient with the retirees. If there would have been someone else, she would have told them to take a hike

    As I was reading this blog, I was wondering how much Smile has accomplished as a single mother. I mean, most of the people did not accomplish 10% of all this with all the support

    In addition, she also had her only son who must have been juicing her from day 1.

    mrizvi: take some lessons from these blogs. You don't get all the learnings in class room only

      Good point about her only son. I am wondering why he is trying to do bad things to her after all that she has done for him. I don't want to repeat the incidents like beach, fire, feeding the bums, etc

  January 12th 2024 It is around mid of January. Time for us to, start getting snow storms. This will be off an on, for the next couple of weeks. It is 10.15, mixed sunny cloudy morning, windy too. Gusts are 38 to 48 km.  Friday used to be my work day, not today. Kids day camp is going on in the library, at my work place. I am off for the whole week. I have to find my own things to do, to get busy. From Monday, things will be back on track. I will be having my regular work hours. It is 11.45, I am getting ready to walk to Tim Hortons. I take it as my second home. I know that it is cold and windy. I am all set with gloves, stole and three layers underneath my winter coat. I will be fine. Whites Road and walkway is, all clear of snow. I see some white patches of snow, by the side of road, under trees and bushes. This is the beauty of Toronto, snow cleared right away. It looks like a usual wintry day. No snow. Everything working, normal routine. Nothing stops, so is my walk. I am at Tim H

  July 7th 2023 It is hot sunny morning, 9.15 and already 24 C, feel like 26. I woke up early, done with my breakfast. Talked to one of my daughters, my middle one, called me from Grimsby.  She was going home, done with her work. It was a brief talk. She was busy, picking up her son, on the way from school. My other daughters are still at work. They will call me later on. We talk everyday, not much, just to connect.  I am busy with my computer. No message from my childhood friend. She never skips, must be busy. She was at her son's place in Sydney, was planning to go back to Perth, to be with her daughter. She must be stuck, other matters to be resolved. Anyway we have to find our own, "Things to do", to get busy, to make our day. Don't have to wait for people's calls and messages. I am busy playing Scrabble and Card games on my computer. Computer is sort of Blessing for me. I don't know how my Mom used to pass her time without phone and computer. How come she

  June 13th 2023 Beautiful morning. Great weather. It was raining all day, yesterday. Stopped at late night. I was working, Mondays are my work days. Have to go to play Darts. It starts at 9.30 in mornings. We were thirteen all together. Picked our numbers to make teams. Two boards with four teams. Three players in each. One team was odd, I mean with four. Anyway we enjoyed. Thirteen seniors on a rainy day, out to play, to enjoy time together. Amazing at that age. Gives inner peace. Boosts will power with affirmation that we still can do it. Rain or no rain, nothing can stop, to make our day. I think, will is everything behind your motto. When there is a will, there is always a way to go ahead, to move on, to do what you want. Today is Tuesday, weather is great 18 C, a bit on a cooler side. I am off, not working on Tuesdays and Thursdays. Last week I booked my flight to England. My daughters were pushing me for that. Asking me to come, to visit. Travel is too demanding at our age. Too
