Cousin's Wedding On 12 Dec 2010

Woke up at 6am to dress up yesterday. My mum bought the saree from Delhi and this is the first time I am tying a sree after a long time. My mum helped me tie the saree. Now I just want to learn how to tie saree myslef because the "pallu" was pretty long and I could not walk comfortably.

I just sat all the time at the wedding and did not move at all. The wedding went well but had this unstable heartbeat at the wedding. Some kind of fear. This could be because of my past bad experiences. Anyway, the youngersters nowadays are intelligent. Not the same when I was was naive 10 years ago. They can lead a happily married life.

Left for home at about 1pm after a vegetarian meal. Loved the meal but my mum as sister did not like it at all.

Aunt told me that she wants to introduce me to a man from Australia who wants to get to know Indian woman. I'm not hopeful because my colleague who is also a good friend of mine has ever told me the same thing. She was in Australia last year and she met her sister-in-law's neighbour. She wanted to introduce me to him but she had to go through her sister-in-law and I do not know what happened in between. The whole idea got lost in transition. I had to abandon that hope.

Similar news came from my aunt yesterday. Do not want to be hopful because God has some plans for me. I have left it to HIM. He knows best. If I am fated to remain single, then it is God's wish.

I know that I am lonely and this loneliness can even make me mad but guess it is fated. God is afraid that I may not love Him if I get to know someone. My happiness is always short lived.

Old Maid

Finally, this friend of mine, who was single for a long long time got married on 30th Oct 2010. She got to know him on the internet and he is an Egyptian. He has got good looks and she fell for him. However, he is so much younger than her (his age has been kept a secret).

Hopefully, he is able to settle down in Singapore with their marriage and hopefully he will be able to get a decent job here.

I thought I was one of her good friends but only now I realised that this is not true. She did not invite me for her nikah which she told me was a family affair. She told me that I will be invited for her wedding reception in January 2011.

May God bless them with unconditional love and happiness now and forever. This is the begining of my journey in life where I attend weddings of my friends and relatives.

Treat Fellow Human Beings With Some Respect.

I have been working at this particular place for a long time. I have seen several organisational changes that has taken place thus far. I hold a trivial position in this place. 3/4 of the staff here are elites and are professionals. From the very day I joined this place, the culture of this company is such that only professionals mingle with like-minded professionals and even a casual chat with us would be deemed unacceptable. Perhaps this could be because, they are afraid that we could be contagious. They are afraid that we may spread a certain type of virus that is only carried by us and that is the "imbercile virus". If the professionals are in contact with the "imbercile virus", they will loose their knowledge that they have struggled to attain thus far. So it is better to stay away from the contagious "imbercile virus".

Just now, I passed by two most senior professionals in my organisation. One of whom is in charge of all Human Resources matters. I smiled at both, but what I got from them in return was avoidance. I did not know that now, you return a smile only when the person who smiled at you is an educated elite and is a professional. If you are not, don't even try to acknowledge them as these professionals will just avoid you.

I was aghast that this is coming from a Human Resource Professional. Being treated like a piece of office furniture is that last thing that should happen to you. You have been slogging very hard to maintain the company's standards by sticking to deadlines but the people on top treats you as if you are transparant just because you hold a trivial post in the company and you have a brain of a nincompoop.

These elite seniors have so much experience and have acquired the topmost knowledge that I don't think I possess. Treat fellow human beings with some respect. This is what I ask for. If you do not have this basic trait, you are naught.

I have heard you say that your door will always be open and we can approach you whenever we face a problem. I don't think you practice what you preach judging from the encounter that I just had with you. Hypocrite! and that is what you are.

You can think that you are above us now but there is someone who is above you, watching you! I don't have to elaborate.

May God Bless You and Provide You With All Your Needs And Give You Eternal Happiness! From your prespective, all the others beyond you will burn in hell. Let's not contaminate mother earth with our imbecility.
