Guilt


Hurtful words spoken unthinkingly and being forgiven for them;
A refusal to share, accepted gracefully, and discovering the need after it no longer exists;
Blind ignorance of injury inflicted while having fun but not receiving complaints;
Knowing that no amount of kindness and wisdom now will compensate for the pettiness and follies of then
Knowing that time once lost never returns
Knowing that none of ‘those’ actions can be undone
Ever

Reminds me of a Hindi line from a song: "Itne tarase ki pyas bhi na rahi" :)

Truth hurts.

Since the past cannot be changed, good deeds in the present and future will eventually dull painful memories. Remember, everything is predestined and whatever happens, happens for the best.

@ Swapnali: Yes truth hurts ! And its a line from "tere dar par sanam chale aaye"...

@ Seema: You are right...I usually put it down to learning...I say, I am what I am today because of what I did and didn't do before...so, well, it's OK...but sometimes, memories gush out like lava...and it bothers for a while...then I am reminded by somebody (or on occasion, by myself) that whatever happens, happens for the best...and I'm alright again :)

How NOT to compère a function

Recently I attended an awards ceremony. It was a grand function with a huge audience in attendance. Many awards were given and some speeches too. The compère was, unintentionally, terribly funny ! In this function, when the compère announced the first award winner, he announced, “Please welcome on stage Mr. X (pause) married to (pause) wife Mrs. X (pause) from 1977 and successfully (pause) completed 32 years of (pause) married life…” I had tears in my eyes from laughing too hard :D Later, the same compère, while telling the audiences about a certain award winner, said, “…he is married (pause) to wife Mrs. Z (pause) and enjoys playing with his (pause) children K and M. His favourite (pause) holiday destination is (pause) the beaches (pronounced as ‘bitches’) of (pause) Goa” I nearly died choking with laughter for this one ! In the 45 minutes that he was on stage he was responsible for much hilarity due to his totally inappropriate commentary. I, of course, laughed my guts out and what c

‘Geographically challenged’

I laughed my guts out while reading this . Then I had another bout of laughter thinking of all the incidents that happen with me. For a long time now I have known that I am, what I like to call, ‘geographically challenged’ :) Situation 1 - If I go inside a building (happens mostly with residential buildings), then after I exit the lift (elevator) or come down the stairs, I cannot quickly locate the gate ! Situation 2 - If I am inside a building, I will routinely point in wrong directions to indicate places outside the building. Situation 3 - I am presently at office. I have come here from home. Now I have to go to some place where I have always gone from home and never from office. What do I do ? I go home first and from there I go to that place. It doesn’t matter if it is a longer distance or takes more time. I have to do this, because simply have no mechanism to re-align my mental map to my present location ! Situation 4 - Another thing is that if I have come to your place in
