The ungrateful ones

You know what amazes me is that there are so many people who take ideas from you and then show off to you and others as if they were theirs from the beginning... They take guidance from me and then after few days forget that they took it from me. Later when we discuss something, they say the same ideas to me and show off so proudly that they know it. "Hey, you know what? I had this problem and I tried this approach and I was successfully help myself out. You should also try it out. It's a great solution!"

Earlier I used to just think "Oh! so this person forgot that I only gave these thoughts and ideas to her and she forgot". Now-a-days in my mind I say, "Girl! You asked me for these ideas and suggestions few months back. Did you forget from whom you got those ideas that so proudly say are yours?" or "Hey! I only gave that suggestion". But I could say it only in one occasion, to only one person and then the person realised, "Oh right! You only gave the idea." And it made me feel worse. I thought, why did I say it aloud.

Their behaviours sure discourages me to share me knowledge with anyone.

I feel so disgusted at myself sometime. It's like I decide I am not gonna give them any help for their troubles. However, when they again start tell me about some other problem, I'm unable to resist helping them. 

My husband says, "You can never do that. You always say you are not going help these show offs any more, but then next time they will come again you won't be able to stop helping them. Later on they will forget that and show off to you that these kind of problems have these solutions. And you will again be upset and sad. All those sadness you will take out on Me." 

I just don't feel like talking to them. I wonder always how can people forget from whom they took the help and show off to the same person. 

Well, it's not that everyone does that. I have some really gentle ladies who still remember all the guidance then took from me and give proper credit to me. They say their thanks to my face and that surely makes me feel so happy.

Ah! I wish I could express myself properly, in cunning ways so people couldn't forget from whom the received those wise words.

hmm...

Anyways!

Just a Thought - 01

Sometimes... All I want to do is shut all the sounds that I hear around me and put on the headphones and turn on the music that I like.

And Sometimes... I want to stop all the music but to listen to the hustle of the trees by the wind and listen to all kinds of music that nature plays for us, the song of the cuckoo bird, the chirping of all the birds... the faraway noises of construction...

What I miss is the sound of a stream... If I hear that sound, well, it would be nostalgic.

The new makeup of nature @ Bangalore

Winter is over... and the nature is simply amazing in Bangalore now. Just few days back the nature appeared a bit sad and grumpy with its dark shades of color. Just a week has passed and the nature has colored itself so beautifully with bright colors that I can't make you feel this with these words. I have to show you the nature. The beautiful trees and their colors... its makes you feel the smell of lemon and that wakes you up completely...

On 2nd March, 2010 I posted a blog with the pics of nature. There was a tree in the first collage of the pic. Here's that tree then:

Here is the same tree with its new bright and vibrant color with its new leaves (taken on 10th March 2010):

This is just a small example... The nature is so beautiful that it appears as if we are in a new world with so much beauty and freshness around us. The leaves dance with such enthusiasm.. that it reminds me of the fast flying fairies of tinker bell animation movie. I just love watching them dance. While going to office when you see them I feel as if they are encouraging me, as if they are wishing me.... "Yeah GG! You can do it! Good Morning!! Make a great day ahead! Hooray!" Wow... it feels so good... I can't explain that any more.. You must feel that when you see them dancing around you, welcoming you.

Until I write again... Keep smiling...

Watching a Sunrise

Good Morning!! Wow... It's a wonderful morning today. I see birds flying from the east towards me. Small, big, tiny all sizes of birds are flying in the subtle blue sky. The sky is so pure for there are no clouds to take away its beauty in its purest form.

My house's balconies face east. Early morning when we sit on our sofa in the hall or on the stair case of our balcony we see the sunrise. I had a chance today to get up before the sunrise. That's the reason I met the beautiful bride dressed in a light blue color garment.

The cool breeze coming along with the birds feels so fresh that it's tickling all the cells in my body. The smooth touch of the wind on my hair... umm... I can again go back to sleep. The lovely and fresh smell of the nature is making me hungry now. Not only me, it seems the roses and other flowers seem to be enjoying the weather and the most beautiful moment of the day. The way dance and wave their little petals... oooww... it's making me behave like a little child and play with them, stare them like I have seen some wonder I have never seen before.

I sit down on my stair case now and watch on those few tall trees in front of me, at around 70 meters away. That house is also beautiful... a very nice bungalow. Looks like a farm house. Well, the trees in their garden are tall and beautiful, with different variety of leaves. The sun is rising now slowly and the saffron color of it appears awesome. The sun rays among those trees appear to me as the focus light of the stages where actors/actresses perform. The grass must be feeling like VIPs with the spot light on them.

The sun is rising fast... hmm... as its summer here in Bengaluru now. Well, as the sun is moving up in the sky it's changing its garments. Now, it is dressed up in Orange color. Wow it's moving even faster up and up and up to the high sky, wearing a yellow color garment. Well, the clouds have finally come. May be they were waiting to the Sun to play hide and seek with it. It looks as if they are playing "catch me if you can". Some time it appears as if the Cloud is over the Sun, some time the Sun is over the Cloud. The hawk is swinging here and there, some time towards the Sun, some time away from it. Looks as if it's jealous of the Cloud and doesn't want it to play with the Sun. The sun is busy with the clouds and the hawk finally disappointed and has moved away towards the west along with the other chirping birds.

The sun is higher up in the sky now and the yellow garment is so bright that it's hard for me to look at it. And that's when I realised it's already 7:30 now and I better go get ready for my office. I take a last view at the scene from the corner of my eyes and get back to work. I feel so nice that my intuition tells me it's going to be a great day ahead. 

Here's a collage of my shots taken while savoring the beauty of nature...

Will catch you in my next blog...
