Week 16 2012

So after a rather normal week at work and with kids had a fun Friday night with a couple of friends. Girls were friendly with our visitor-friend AD and it was a delight to watch them warm up so quickly and have fun. They are very picky with whom they choose to losen up and I have liked their choice so far. Spent Saturday at home probably after ages at least since a couple of months or so. Although we stepped out Sunday/today. AG for the first time uttered "Sorry" today she never does I tried to teach her Sorry and Thank you and when you she really should mean it if she is. AL picked it up fast (the parrot that she is) but this lady is hesitant and finally for the first time because she put her tongue out spitting at someone, although didnt mean it but just for fun. I advised her she should be apologizing and she actually did and seemed to have meant it. Wow! Other times when she gets into trouble for bothering her sister she never apologizes and simply gets a time out, which most of the times she gets upset and I cant bear her shedding tears anymore.

So staying home meant catching up with movies. First movie was Three, with that Kolaveri song. It was a pretty ok movie. Dont prefer such movies with bi-polar disorder kinda stuff (had it enough with Law and Order episodes) and especially when it ends that way. But nothing wrong with the movie as such otherwise, actors were pretty fine. In fact better than expected both Dhanush and Shruthi Haasan. I think I read pretty bad reviews and expected a complete nonsense so I found it ok.

Kahaani was very good per reviews. Vidya Balan was brilliant as she has shown in recent movies especially and didnt want to stop wtahcing it for even a second, great pace. Bob Biswas was too good. Loved the whole Calcutta based story.

Caught up with friends and family I am so glad I have such a great support system. P and I completely independently manage our relationships without influencing each other in our way but completely sharing our opinions, so there is not even the need to talk about the old school system of - if are we having to compromise any relationship whether being a son/daughter, friend, etc. Although in the recent past I can see he has been surprised by some people who seem so nice upfront can turn be so pretentious, he still keeps his cool.


On that note my nugget for this week: AD was talking about some aspect on his work front, how the whole business unit came together at the time of crises in his company. No matter what the differences otherwise he said we all came together and felt the pain, crises and major problems bring people together he said. Made me think. I really hope that is the case with everyone whether at work or in personal relationships. If in times of pain and suffering people around you would look at it at an opportunity to insult and hurt you and your family, you really don't need them, do you?
