Mom, Can I practice Piano in our holiday?
But there is no piano at the holiday place.. A suggests we take our keyboard with us..
My mind Voice in Sarcasm: Why not? After all, he practices his class notes every day at home .

Honey, We are taking Basket Ball, Tennis racquet(S) and Cricket bat(S) for our trip..
My mind voice in Sarcasm:  Sure! why not?? We go on a holiday to play sports..

Honey, have you packed swim-wear for A? There is pool too..
My mind voice in Sarcasm: Yahhh.. SOUNDS E-X-C-I-T-I-N-G..

We are packing for our weekend get-away.. Just 2 night stay turns in to packing our house. I call this “Just in case” packing..

Forecast says its nice and warm weekend, but you never know Just in case pack those jackets & long sleeves along with summer cloths..
Just in case - if it rains.. Take those umbrellas.. not one, take all 3 ..
Just in case - if I spoil my dress. Take extra set for everyone..
Just in case - if I feel like baking – Never know what I pick up in my holiday.. My interests varies.
Just in case - If we feel like morning jog, take those runners..
Just in case - if we fall sick- take all those cold/flu/cough meds.
Just in case - If tooth paste finishes, take an extra one..
Just in case - If wifi/internet doesn’t work- take all those DVDs..
Just in case - If we finish all DVDs , take those board games..
Just in case - If we don't feel like playing board-games and there is nothing  in TV.. Take books not one atleast two.. 
Just in case - if those linens are dirty, take few extra ones..

Did I miss anything? I think I packed enough to survive for TWO days..  Damn I’m wrong..
Mom, bad Mozzies bit me everywhere. It’s itchy..
Oops I forgot to pack Mosquito repellent..

Honey, next time we must bring our OWN non-stick pans.. The pans at the holiday place is hard to clean..

<Sigh!>I’m going to invest on a good TRUCK (In Tamil- Man Body Lorry) for our next trip..

Rule of thumb for a blind date is to trust the process and to go on a date with no/zero expectation. You do not know who you are meeting until you see them.

Mine was no different, I must say I was always lucky with my blind dates. I have had so many experience of this. However, it was not like I didn't have a choice. Like most of you I too had a conventional way, but choose another way.  I'm talking about my blind dates with this world. Would you dare to go on a blind date with this world? I would.

In some cases, standard processes have workarounds because no one had time to go back and fix it. Here is your guide to solve problems in an ideal way, The first step is to  analyse and identify the problem  - Explore thoroughly to get to the core ...
