So says my horoscope...

Often, I love to take a peek into the unknown realm to know what the future has in store for me, and more than often have I found wonderful advice in the most unlikely places...a tiny portion of that newspaper which foretells or rather claims to predict how your day is going to unfold...see what mine read:

"Your ideals aren't the law. While having a moral backbone is important, stay away from giving friends constant lectures on how best to live their lives. Show by example, not by nagging."

Not that it said something new; it has been my lives funda till now; but that I would find it staring at me from some obscure corner of an old newspaper, is what was bewildering!

Hmm...it is nonetheless a relieving feeling to know that there are people who think like me; that I am not alone on this planet...

Just a fleeting thought...:)

Lessons Life Teaches...

Two episodes happened recently which left me pensive as ever...

1) managed to lock myself out in the faculty, in the dead of the night (9:30PM) without my cell phone, car keys and worst of all without a penny on me (all locked up in the locker inside the teachers room, the watchman/caretaker nowhere to be seen) to even make a distress call...do not ask me how it happened, it just did: my fault

2) and then, on another day I was to take a special lecture with the help of a PPt and voila! the system bonked!: not my fault ;)

Baba used to say one thing, which just flashed in my memory ...

विद्या जो कंठ, और
रूपया जो अंट...केवल वोही आडे वक्त पर काम आता है!

And it is so very true. One might be having a great collection of books, treatises to flaunt, might have made elaborate notes for teaching...one might be having crores stashed away in lockers and banks, yet all may go in vain and what you have, with you always, something that cannot be taken away might bail you out!

You were great baba...your grand daughter was however, a tubelight! Pardon her ignorance.
Good thing is, she has learned it during this lifetime itself. That is some achievement!
