How our major profession transforms our personality in the long run. A few random thoughts....
1)Let's imagine you married a software professional, don't you see him updating every day and eventually finding himself in a program where he himself runs by it not the other way around.
2)How it would be, if you marry a teacher. May be you find him/her preaching now and then and the petty rules of discipline. Can't digest everyday right.
3)Then think of marrying a reporter, who if not criticize will definitely makes a point where you find yourself cornered one fine day.
4)And how it will be different if you marry a business man, who makes habit that every thing counts on any given day. You just become a number for him.
5)How about you marrying a celebrity for that matter? Where he can find a time for you who always enjoys self pampering.
Anyways I am just kidding.I am putting my weird thoughts on different professions.I haven't discussed many other professions which might be having something like this. I think every profession has its pros and cons and finally we end up into different professions based on our ambitions and choices. There is nothing like good profession or bad profession. The only basic requirement is to fulfill our needs and requirements.

Juss for Fun : Mr.Shy Guy!!!
Here in United States public laundries are familiar to those who live in apartments and student dormitories. Sometimes you will experience somethings that you cannot stop telling them to your friends. The other day when i went to laundry to finish my weekend late night laundry job, i had this experience which is not uncommon for most of us who use public washing and drying facilities. I found some lady undergarment(UG) along with my clothes after drying. When i was about to place it in 'LOST' place on the laundry table, something striked to me and my friend's mind. We placed UG under the other friend's pillow. We wanted to see his reaction as he is very shy guy and never talk to girls. The same day a new person joined our room and was asked by this shy guy to sleep on his bed. When this new guy started clearing his bed, he found the UG under the pillow. Unfortunately I was not present at that moment. To our surprise our plan seemed to be blown out of proportion as we only planned this for the shy guy and we wanted him to find out by himself. The shy guy felt very awkward and speechless to what happened there. When he inquired about the details, my accomplice mentioned my name as i was not there.He approached me later in the evening and asked about that. I realized that it was blown out of proportion. I still unable to forget his reaction but appreciated his sportive attitude which otherwise could have led to nothing but a third world war.

Trying To Recall
I read somewhere: "It is a positive aspect of our character to believe in God, goodness, love, and self-contentment. Sharing little things and showing affection towards others gives us happiness and a feeling of completeness. Cultivate a sense of humor and that will definitely light up your gloomy sky".
***For my memory and review, i wanted these lines in my post***
It's been ages i stopped doing any kind of regular exercises and workout. Sometimes swimming, little bit beach volleyball and couple of times gym workout that's what i am doing in recent months. But my daily routine used to quite different when i was a teenager. Yoga and jogging used to be the most important daily activities that i never used to skip. If jogging was enforced by my dad, Yoga was something which i passionately learned and regularly practiced until i was seventeen. When i was fourteen, me along with a group of friends went to one famous vipassana center (Yoga/Meditation Ashram) near our city. This ashram was built in traditional old hermitage style and used to run in the same old fashioned way. I still remember that 10 day stay in that beautiful ashram and the wonderful impressions that meditation training left on me. We used to have 5-6 hrs daily regime of meditation in a well built underground hall. Aashram also used to provide small individual private rooms for those who wanted to practice vigorous meditation for longer periods. These rooms were designed to resemble the olden day caves where sages used to perform penance for longer periods of time. I think this was the great attraction and thrilling experience for young students like us at that moment. The simple meditation techniques i learned in those days are the most valuable tools that still help me to combat with the all kinds of stresses that i accrue in this fastidious and mechanical world.
I badly need my teenage discipline back, completely at my will. Will I??

Can't Stop Posting This :)
When my friend told me this joke, the next minute i have signed into my blog and posted it. Juss can't stop myself sometimes, huh!!!
*************************************************************
After she woke up, a woman told her husband, "I just dreamed that you gave me a pearl necklace for Valentine's day.What do you think it means?"
"You'll know tonight," he said.
That evening, the man came home with a package and gave it to his wife. Delighted, she opened it - to find a book entitled,
"The meaning of dreams"
************************************************************
I can't stop laughing for a while and hope you too :).

San Diego Road Trip
Travelled almost 3000 miles in California, Nevada and Arizona this long week end. This was all of sudden an impromptu trip for me. Even though excited being in Las Vegas and Los Angeles(LA), more fun came from San Diego(SD) trip. My dad always used to tell me about the beauty of San Francisco but i had a quite different impression after visiting San Diego. For me, it is the the most beautiful city i visited so far in the United States.
As I had to drop my friend for final interview, I started immediately to San Diego after my long weekend trip. On our drive to San Diego, we found many agricultural farms most of which consisted of various fruits and nuts. We halted at one of the farmer markets and bought a whole bag of cherries, mandarins and strawberries for just few bucks. They were fresh, juicy and indeed a right choice for our eight hour summer journey. Drive from LA to SD was really thrilling as we were driving on coastal belt of pacific Ocean for most of the time. We reached the city in the evening and slept waiting for the fresh dawn. The next morning, I dropped my friend for interview and went to explore the new city on my own. My first impression after visiting the down town was quite surprising. I had this gut feeling that the city was built just recently, for that matter i guess the feeling will not be different for any new visitor. Everything about the city looks new and completely clean. The air was so fresh and thrilling that one cannot stop complementing about that.
Finally, i got the good news that my friend cleared his interview and we decided to drove to one of the beaches near to that place. Even though we wanted to go Coronado beach(one of the best beaches in US) initially but visited Pacific beach as per our local friend suggestion. Beach was damn busy that day contrary to what we thought it would be on a week day. Me and my friend used our little engineering skills and built a model of TITANIC ship with the beach sand as a memory of our visit. We spent almost an hour there and started driving to Hollywood. We spent some time near Kodak theatre, Madam Tussauds, Hollywood street and drove back to my place. On the whole, i felt the trip was exciting and refreshing. I am pretty much sure that one would fall in love with San Diego city on their first visit itself. And don't forget to visit Coronado beach if you plan to visit the city with your family though i missed it.
