I got a honest scrap award from Renu..With the award comes a tag, 10 things about you which are not obvious (less known)..well there would be many which are known to people who know me in person...But in blog world less people know them...
1. I have become a movie freak now..I try going to theater every Friday/Saturday to see a movie. if i did not then i will download and see the movie.
2. I like having freedom at work...I hate bosses who want everything to be done in their way..thank god my boss is not like that..
3. I loose my temper very fast..of course working on it now.
4. I hate people who beg. If i see a elder person begging i buy him food and give him but never drop a coin in his hand. I don't trust them in that case. So better is get them food.
5. I get infuriated when anybody has health problem in my family.
6. I hate all the politicians in India and at one point of time i feel that i will be a better minister than so and so.
7. I always wanted to be pilot. One gives a chance to me now i would love to.
8. None of my family members and friends except my sister and fiance know that i do blogging [:D]
9. I like long drives..Especially if you give me steering i love it.
10. I like dolphins and dogs the most. Even today if i see a dog and i can afford biscuits i never rethink.. I will go to USA one day for seeing the dolphin show.
Hmmm..Choosing 10 points is the toughest part.
Thanks Renu for the award...

I happened to read this story in LIFE (a edition that comes with Times of India on Sundays)...I guess many of you would have read it..but its good one to keep it here.
LIFE that day was a special edition because of Women's day...Rajeshree Birla a industrialist tells a story which even today gives her strength.
Once upon a time there lived this Jewish king named Solomon. In a grumpy mood, he thought of teaching Benamiah Ben Yehoyada, his minister, a lesson. So he assigned to him a seemingly impossible task. He ordered Benamiah to find him a magic ring with extraordinary features. And that was — if you were happy and wore the ring, you would feel unhappy. And vice-versa. If you were joyous and wore it, you would feel absolutely sad!
Solomon gave him a six-month timeline for the search. Deep down in their hearts, both Solomon and Benamiah knew that such a ring did not exist in this universe. Benamiah prayed hard for a miracle. A little before the deadline was over, and having walked all over for such a ring, he decided to go to one of the poorest places in Jerusalem.
There he saw an old merchant who was spreading out his goods on a carpet. Benamiah was quite intrigued. He thought, “Let me take a chance with him.” Therefore, he asked the merchant whether he had a magic ring that could make a happy person forget his happiness and a sad person forget his sorrow. The merchant smiled. He took a gold ring from his wares and etched four words on it. Benamiah took the gold ring. When he read the inscription he was extremely happy. He felt that his mission was accomplished. He went back to Solomon. Solomon and all his ministers began making a mockery of Benamiah, teasing him as he would have returned empty-handed. Benamiah smiled and offered the gold ring to His Majesty. As soon as Solomon read what was written, he stopped being a tease. The words were “this too shall pass”. Suddenly, Solomon felt that everything in life was ephemeral, and nothing lasts forever.

I have heard from many that marriage makes you cry sometimes and it makes you laugh sometimes and at the end it sinks slowly that you are getting married and when all done that you are married and so on so forth...
Have no idea whether it happens it with everyone or not but it is sinking in to me slowly day by day...the more the days are nearing by the heart keeps thinking...That's it...in like three months all the things are done...12 weeks are not hard to pass by but they seem like a hill before me...Is that it...you get married and everything changes in that second...Might be my fiance is true in saying that we will go in for a traditional marriage...But some how in the days gone by there is a major difference in me...the more the day is nearing by the less i am reacting....might be today i also feel like all others that this is the period you will enjoy with mom and dad and sister like their own child...
One day in a big argument with my Sis i told her some thing that "I wish...." but today i feel that i should not have said that..its not her mistake for which we had a argument...See marriage makes you feel that you should immediately repair any scar in your relationship so that you can enjoy more and more...Today she is the one who is taking involvement from such a far distance and feeling the marriage from there..of course its just 6 weeks she will be here and then she too will be engrossed into this more than me for sure..
One thing i like about my marriage date is the fact that Me and My sis are gonna enjoy our marriage day every year on the same day...I would not say its a mere coincidence the credit goes to my DAD....The one master mind in our family for everything....Right from my MBA anyone who use to come to me and say my marriage is fixed and when they use to say the date i use to ask them whats more on that day...they use to say nothing it just is a day taken out by some body in their family...But i use to always think that my marriage will have a coincidence with some thing or the other days like April 5 (my tinku's b'day), July 1(Mom's B'day), July 27(Dad's B'day), Dec 19(Sisters B'day) or the b'days of the boys family...make it one of the day...But see i never thought of celebrating it along with my sis every year..And that's why the saying goes...You wish some thing..god gives you more than that :)
So the feeling sinking in..My fiance keeps giving me more and more ideas to do things as if i have no work.. Of course he feels so cause anything he says to me i am ready with the answers by evening..so he keeps thinking of new things so that i leave him free to finish of things..The new ideas like have a wedding blog which we can visit, take the pics of the place you are visiting to buy stuff...write those experiences...pics of my tailors...their visiting dates...trail dates...parlour searching...everything...so goes on the list to write about...which of course is not a bad idea to think about...lets see..One blog which already exists i hardly post on it...an another one to see at...Ha ha ha ha.
Anyways with all the things going on..Booking tickets for everyone..searching for accommodation..thinking about the ways we can find out more places near by to home...Discussions with sister..and every night these days i have a chit chat with mom, she will go back on Saturday :( ...Searching for wedding invitation wordings....and ya..when my sis sent me the reply back and when i was typing the final invitation wordings..i felt so strange today...that's where the title of the post is appropriate...Its sinking in slowly...with less number of days left...
