Started Working on Fridays
It is 8.30, I am in my kitchen, making my breakfast, my oatmeal porridge and stir fry egg, will have with my morning cup of tea. Beautiful Scarlet Red, Deep Orange and Yellow flowers of Dahlia, giving me smiles from the flower bed of my back garden. Black Squirrel is also here, busy with his work outs on the wooden fence of my garden. It is a beautiful view to behold. But no time for me to enjoy. I started working on Fridays, have to get ready to leave at 9.30, to my work place, to play Darts.
It is 11.40, I am back, will take a quick shower after that will go to my kitchen to make banana Blueberry shake for my son and for my eldest grandson, he is awake, will be happy. It is good to put smile on the faces around. We feel good too. What goes around, comes back to you. So simple.
I will make Shake for myself too. Never have to forget, to give treats to yourselves. It will help to push your body to get going, to cooperate with the plans, our mind got ready for our day. It is like carrot and stick. We have to push our body to go ahead with the plans, we chalked out. But have to be gentle. Keep track, what our body wants. What is his Mood. Don't have to be too hard. Give and take, works in all relationships. Same is with the relationship of our Mind and Body. Nothing works one sided.
My daughters just called me. They usually make conference call. It cut down their time and mine too. Joint calls only be made, when people involved, are at the same mental and emotional wave length. Sometimes, not everyone enjoys the same talks. We have to keep that in mind.
I have to make some other calls too. My elder sister in law, recently lost, one of her cousin sister. I have to call her, to share her grief. My younger brother's wife was not feeling well. I will call her. We have to be there for people, to share such moments. Sharing cuts down the pressure. It helps to feel that, they are not alone to face the difficult time of their life.

ReplyDeleteI have posted the blog in Smile Corner. I already mentioned to you about the verbal decision but we finally received the letter from the authorities confirming that the investigation for the Smile Corner has completed. The letter includes an appreciation for you and also an apology to you. This is because the authorities said that you have done a lot to help in the vaccination campaign in Ireland yet your intention was questioned. As per your orders, we are only allowing completely vaccinated individuals in the Smiler Corner. The unvaccinated patrons are planning a protest as they are very unhappy with this. The priest is also helping them and pointing out that Oxford educated, English aristocrats are interfering in internal affairs.
ReplyDeleteI have posted the blog in all notice boards in lobbies A, B, C and D

ReplyDeleteDear Advisor,
ReplyDeleteThe retirees appreciate your blog today. We read your blog in somewhat tough circumstances. The hijab lady and her temple friends were the ones who wanted us to sign a petition condemning New Zealand and England as their sports team postponed a visit to their home country. Your Indian compatriots disagreed with the petition. They pointed out that you are against any political activity, even the ones which are in favour of your homeland. They asked for a vote and the temple people lost the option of presenting a petition. To be honest, we could not understand the fuss about some sports game being postponed as a no. of countries are now doing that. Your Indian compatriots appeared to enjoy the fact that the games are cancelled. They were seen making some jokes about the temple people and their sports team. The Indian people also submitted a resolution of their own. They asked the restaurant manager to allow showing live games from Indian Premier League. Apparently this is a world famous league of the best sports figures. They made impassioned speeches and the retired priest backed them too. He said that that you would be in agreement too as you promote diversity. The restaurant manager wanted to wait for your approval but your Indian compatriots, along with the retired priest as well as the retired spies, suggested that by the time you respond the IPL may complete since you are not getting comments because of Google problems. The restaurant manager said he will still wait until Friday as he this is really YOUR restaurant.
The retired chef was here and presented his report on the five star properties that are serving food based on your recipes. He pointed out that the response continues to be very positive. The chief hospital administrator mentioned that the patients wants to stay in the hospital for longer time as they are enjoying the Smile with Smile program a lot. She wanted to get your thoughts on the best way to proceed.
Thank you

Dear Author,
ReplyDeleteWe read you blog at the SRC today. We were amazed that this blog is so positive. Prof George was heard saying that this is unbelivable, even for an author for your caliber. The Dean who stands quietly as a sign of respect during the reading of the blog, almost fell down when he came to realize that you wrote the blog after coming back from work. The Smile Army started chanting slogans.
The students who have recently graduated are having a very hard time with their parents. In one case, the parents asked her son to fill up petrol in the Mercedes that was gifted as a graduation present. Though the parent had given her credit card to her son, but we still dont understand what they are trying to do. The student said that he wants to gradually make his way into the adult life but the parents are trying to force him. In one case, the parents asked her daughter what time she came in at night. Though she came in early at around 3:30 am and not her typical time of 5am, she simply refused to answer them. This is ridiculous as they are trying to control our lives. We know that your grandkids are not having these issues but for us, it is a problem.
thank you

What is this! This is beyond weird. There is nothing, absolutely noting, that I can say or do to help these young kids. The sad thing is that they will be the future. We were teenagers too, and I thought a little crazy, but this is off the chart! I know, I know
ReplyDeleteGreat work mrizvi. Thank you so much for a fantastic comment. Way to go. Beyond brilliant
Caaaaaaaaaaaaaaaallllmmmmmmmmmm down! Just Reeeeeeeeeeeelax. Get some fresh air. Keep going at this pace, and you will pop an artery. Take it easy. Good thing that you remember Smile's message of kindness
ReplyDeleteThanks mrizvi. Nice of you to let us know that this is a good post. Hope school is going well
