My Identity Is One Amazing Thing Hooked Among Times...

"My Indentity Is One Amazing Thing Hooked Among Times...." - My identity(her id card),  One Amazing Thing(book), Hooked(the clip at the top), Times(watch)! Four v unrelated things put together to form a v powerful sentence!!

N with this I sign off the "May photo a day contest"!! Phew.....

The tool for....

... Mainstreaming the marginalized gender officially!

I was pleasantly surprised to see the option of "Transgender" under the "Gender" column in UID(Aadhaar) form! Maybe the first step in acceting them as a part of our society...

Cant Live without...

... Well on top of my mind was the usual suspects - Family-Friends, books, good food n blah! But as I hv already given you a overdose of this, I will take inspiration from Pixies Idea n thus it is...

Now its so true - With my power hovering in range of -3.5 the first thing I literally do on waking up is don my pair of specs :). The one incident specs always brings to mind is this ;)

Fave thing to do on Sunday....

..... is read the "Sunday Mag" section in leisure!

 I personally feel that the mag section of DNA is much beta than TOI.... They have some interesting, well researched topics than the run of mill topics TOI carries. The one n pic(click to zoom) is of a few current gen English men - ladies trying to dig up their forefathers stories who were in India in early 20th century.

N yes, in our house of two(me n hubs) we subscribe two newspapers(TOI, DNA) just to avoid the morn bickering over who gets to read the paper first!

Go, Follow your heart!

"Go, Follow your heart" is what I told these earnest young people! This was a part of discussion where people from diff industries were invited to address a group of class 12 students on opportunities in their resp sectors!

Pic Courtesy Sabs!

The million dollar question that few of them had was the same I had a good 13 years  back - "My grades will get me into a good engineering college - but err my heart lies in cooking-arts-journalism.What do I do?". N no prizes for guessing what most parents want their child to opt for....

 I am a practical person - I had chosen engineering n I don't regret it. But at hindsight maybe I wold hv been happier(thou not so financially successful) doing what my heart wanted me to. Phenomenon is a beta example - after all his engineering n masters in automobile(more at his parents insistence), today he dabs in a carer of marketing n communications n is at his happiest when he gets to dons the hat of a chef!

 So "GO follow your heart"
