Lost and Found.. Keys!!

Losing keys seems to be a common practice! Everyone has done it at one point of time or other. What one feels when one loses the key of the house, the cupboard, the locker key? The first reaction is Oh! My God! What am i going to do now? The chain of thoughts that run into the mind is unaccountable. But once you get the key somehow or other, you become the hero lauding yourself saying I knew I'll get it!

I remember how my sister-in-law when she forgot where she kept her bank locker key for four long months. She searched the house and re-searched the house again and again. She made her niece, nephew, bhaiya, bhabhi search for it. She spent nights without sleep. You can imagine her joy when her son in US told her the key is safe in his house. Just imagine the distance between India and US.

Once my bank locker key was hiding under the cardboard base of my hand bag and took me days to find it out. I still remember my son when he was just 4 years old hiding our cupboard key under the bed. After a long stressful hunt he told innocently "Shall i tell you where it is.... it is under the bed!"

Its so interesting to flash back on those turbulent moments and feel happy about the lost and found incident. I am sure you also have a story to tell about the keys you lost!

What am I good at?

Thoughts do appear in my mind but never shape up to completion. I wonder why...

I saw Pushpa's lovely pencil sketch, and wished that I too could draw but lo I can't. My pen or pencil draws alphabets and nothing more than that!

I heard some lovely music and I wished so much that I could sing but my voice was good for yapping and of course yelling at times.

I heard a spiritual discourse that was so soothing. I hoped that I could also exhibit something like that but guess what, that needed a lot of study and reading! I surely like reading but then I get sound sleep when I take a book.

I watched my friend cook, she manipulated what was available to 4 extra people who suddenly appeared from nowhere. I was amazed and thought that I too will try and ended up with something that looked good but not for taste.

Oh! my God, I'm not good at anything that I wished for!!

But then I realised though I'm not good at anything that I wished for I'm surely good at listening to others and appreciating their work.God bless me!

interesting incident - wrong train!

This happened not very long ago. My neighbor was transfered to Kharagpur. Their household stuff was to be transported by a truck. The truck was loaded and my neighbor's son accompanied by my son travelled in the truck to help unload the things in Kharagpur.

After the unloading was done, these boys came to the station to get back to Jamshedpur. The two got into the train waiting at the station and were busy chatting. The train started moving, and after few minutes the two realised that  the train was moving towards Calcutta and not Jamshedpur! Nobody could help them because the train would stop next only at Calcutta. The boys had no option but to travel in that direction. They alighted at Calcutta and waited for the Jamshedpur train. This time, they carefully boarded the train after checking and safely returned to Jamshedpur. The crowning part of it was - they both travelled with  the Kharagpur to Jamshedpur ticket all through but via Calcutta!
