Life in a fish tank

I had to take my mother to her friend's place yesterday. I really don’t mind helping her, but waiting for hours and listening to them is not that easy. Some days they go on for hours and I have to wait there like a dummy. It’s true that I make contributions for a very lethargic rate of one word per hour. I listen most of the time because it takes an extra effort to talk. I am waiting very patiently for someone to come up with a contest for the laziest in the world because I have a good chance of grabbing the first place. My mother’s friend is the opposite. She had only few hours to catch the flight to another country. She went to and fro at an unbelievable speed (from my point of view) and kept on talking at the same speed. I was horrified. Anyway I was delighted to hear that I will be able to get away from that place earlier than usual. At the end I had to drag my mother out after a long spell of TWO hours because her good friend was having a tough time managing words and work at the same time. In fact she was out of breath. Unfortunately, my mother didn’t notice this and her friend was not ready to give-up talking. So I had to intervene before she gets hospitalized for high blood pressure.

I almost forgot the topic. While I was waiting I had a good view of their fish tank. Four to five creatures were moving to and fro like my mother’s friend. Luckily they didn’t make any noise like her. They moved forward, backward, turned this way, that way and again back. I really felt sorry for them because they will be moving to and fro in that small fish tank till they die. Then again we are not that different from them.

Get paid for making friends?$*+!@#!


I found a great site with a lot of resources. At Mylot you get to make friends around the world, have discussions on various topics, widen your knowledge and share your secrets. The most interesting part is that they pay you for taking part and making friends. It’s free to join. Does it sound too good to be true? Well I am new to this site and don’t know much about them. I can’t tell you that it is the greatest site in the World Wide Web. It’ll take sometime for me to get used to their set up.

Taking a cat for a walk



Well, this is one of the two little bundles of joy. Earlier he went around playing and climbing trees like his sister. But now, this little fellow is always waiting near the door. Few days ago I found my mother asking this one to come in (Can you believe that my mother who is pretending to loathe them inviting?) But the cat did not move. Just waiting there, sleeping, eating and again waiting. This is a sorry site (don’t worry, he is in good health) I don’t know how to help him. Feel like tying a rope around the neck and taking him for walk. Well, then again it’ll be absurd. But, we might as well make it to the Genius book

How to motivate your child to be the best?


Sorry for taking some time to post. When you have so many things to do and a very little time it is tough. Have you ever seen a person running around like a busy bee and ending up without doing anything useful? Well, I am one of them. I was busy but couldn’t do anything useful. Today I found time to do something useful (hopefully). You see, something is better than nothing. So, I started editing my article about How to motivate your child to be the best? Experience I have gained as a teacher helped me a lot to write this. Working with children is fun. Handling difficult children is very interesting because they always try to teach us. Some of them taught me very good lessons and I became a better teacher because of them (we should always look at the positive side). It’s a pity we do not have many difficult children. The above mentioned article is meant for the parents. Actually it is better if we get a chance to teach some of them first without making a foolish attempt to change their children. Now, don’t come here and protest in front of my house because I know that there’re very good parents who are doing every possible thing on earth to look after their children.

Two little bundles of joy


I thought of starting my blog with my two little bundles of joy. Have you ever had any uninvited visitors to your backyard? Well, we had two little visitors few months ago. Their mother had abandoned them (not completely, paying visits once in a way to check on them, may be to see whether they’re still alive) giving us a wonderful opportunity to make friends with them. They may be very ordinary but I consider them as two little bundles of joy. I always go and check on them and the very sight of them makes me happy. Sometimes I feel very sorry for my little friends when I see them waiting near the door for their meals. My mother doesn’t like the idea of having them inside the house. But she is generous enough to provide them with meals. I also do not like to restrict their freedom because they still visit their own mother who is in the neighborhood. Sometimes you find them entertaining their guests and waiting patiently for them to enjoy their meal or having a good time on the roof.
