DAYS AND MOODS

Days are not alike and so also are the moods.Hardly 72 hrs back i was celebrating the conclusion of one more of my successful completion of the quarterly reviews .The results by any satndard were good and all were happy and that includes auditors too.The fact that except for some exchange of words here and there, with out which you don't get the satisfaction of having done your job(he he he), no other major scuffle also added to the peace of mind.

HARDLY 48 hrs back i was enjoying the company of the newly arrived twins when i went to see my cobrother's daughter at the hospital in T.NAGAR.The babies looked like plucked flowers, and when they smile in their sleep it is a refereshing experience to be a party to it.

And the last 36 hrs some what startled me a bit.All old ideas and arguments that i used to wage for and against love kept cropping up. ALL BECAUSE OF A CHANGE IN DATE OF ONE OF THE IMPORTANT events all of us in the family were looking forward to.After an initial period of knee jerk reaction, followed by feelings of anxiety and uncertainty, i sat down to take stock of the situation. The fact that my wife who was witness to the proceedings also cooled down by then enabled us to think of the options.

AND YES, THERE WERE MORE THAN FEW OPTIONS AVAILABLE.PERHAPS EACH OF THE OPTION IS GOING TO TAKE FURTHER TIME TO FOLLOW UP AND FIRM UP and may be the cost facto too is involved. Then , what is the point in lamenting on something where in you have limited choices to pusue? What shall not be fought aginst shall be endured >>is it not?No offence to any one, a comment in a lighter vein only.

And once the options are clear, last 12 hours have brought in again sanity, wisdom and smile.Personal effectiveness at its best.D day (the immediate one is a week ahead) .But no issues,the confidence gained will stand to wade thru the thick and thin.And i am reminded of my paternal side, my father and his brothers and the manner in which they have handled issues, most of which always revolve around a marriage.ANY ONE ELSE IN THEIR POSITION WOULD HAVE CALLED QUITS UMPTEEN NUMBER OF TIMES, BUT EVERY TIME I HAVE SEEN THEM GALLOPING AROUND TO EMERGE VICTORIOUS.And special credits to my paternal uncle sri Jagannathan, whose mischivous smiles(even when he was bravely struggling against cancer)alwys have turned the tide in his favour.When their thoughts and blessings are there around me in plenty, it looks pretty silly of me to feel dejected, what ever be the cause .

i sign off with a smile and confidence in the fond memories of my forefathers...and this blog as also the event, a week away are in dedication to their greatness :)
