The Ring Master

A very strange thing happened today….you see four years ago my mom had given me two rings one pearl and other emerald. the purpose of these rings was unknown to me at that point of time. She had asked me not to remove those two ( she feared that I’ll lose them ) and if I had too then I should keep them in Pooja ghar(so that they don’t ‘loose’ effect)

Last year I came to know that pearl was for my health and emerald for success(actually I thought pearl was to control my temper)….now I had real suspicions about effectiveness of these two as health wise I am regular feature at hospitals nearby and success………. Well……. let’s not get into that (touché)

Anyway….tired of those two hulking rings I stopped wearing them about a month ago…….and about a month ago started this server cold…see I am not superstitious but I had this lingering doubt…so today I wore them again and wohaaaa I haven’t sneezed since morning …and this IS a rare feat (hubby and any one sitting beside me would vouch for this) and my nose also feels better …I can breathe from my nose (this deserves a special mention )

So I have planned to wear rings for another a week and see if I get any better (hopefully that will spare me from another doctors bill)..

Only when a year ends that we realize how quickly time has passed…every year teaches us some lessons….it gives certain memories to be cherished and some forgetful ones. Every coming year brings hope and uncertainty…… I don’t know what next year has in it….but i want it to be a healthy and happy year for my family…with this I finish the last blog for this year….so guys see you next year………Have a very happy new year

PS -: I know last post was supposed to be the last one ;)

The Ten commandments

As kids my sister and I loved to recite this poem we learned in class 5 ...it goes like…

TIME, you old gipsy man

Will you not stay,

Put up your caravan

Just for one day?


All things I'll give youWill you be my guest,

Bells for your jennet

Of silver the best,

Goldsmiths shall beat you

A great golden ring,

Peacocks shall bow to you,

Little boys sing,

Oh, and sweet girls will

Festoon you with may.

Time, you old gipsy,Why hasten away?
~Ralph Hodgson

time really flies….as a kid I wanted to grow up asap because I wanted to be on my own…to do ‘things’ grown ups did….that reminds me of another poem my sister taught me(she does have a flare for poetry) ..............I don’t know who the author is


Grown ups ,grownups, grown ups
The world is full of grownups,
Grownups here and grownups there,
Grownups, grownups, every where
They are strict, they are stern,
They are shrewd, as well as firm,
The chide you and nag you,
They admonish you too
And when you are with them,
You don’t know what to do.
But still, I have a feeling that,

grownups are appealing
Could we get the love and care,
If grownups weren’t there

With my current blogging speed looks like this is last blog of 2010…a year very special for me… …. So with new year are my new resolution(s) (PS - i dont even remember the resolutions i made last year hence i am joting them down)
