!! Men !! &*Women* ------ Equal or not?!!!

It is my opinion that women and men or not equal because they are both unique in their own sense. It is this imbalance that keeps the balance!! Today I was reading the Kenneth Copeland Ministries daily devotion and came across this!

"Take men and women, for example. He's (meaning Satan) deceived us into fighting about which one is superior over the other. But I can settle that argument right now. Women are superior to men. If you don't believe that, you boys try having a baby. But then, men are superior to women. If you don't believe that, you women try having one without us. It's the differences combined that make us strong! "

- Kenneth Copeland

I think it rocks!

Good 'ol Christy!

I will be meeting Christy after almost three months now. The last I saw her was when she had breezed into my house and demanded fish curry and then sat down to arrange my suitcase for my trip to the UK! My diary had everything written in absolute certainty, x number of shirts, y number of trousers, so many undies (yeah! that too!!), so many soaps,deos, prefumes, shampoos and conditioners! Everything was methodically written and it was read out to me at least twice so I do not, DO NOT forget anything back there (its an altogether different story, that in the end, I had to leave all my old clothes in the airport, cuz the immigration guy wouldnt let me board the plane with 11 kilos of extra luggage!!)

Christy...!! The very sight of her used to spur me to turn around and walk in the opposite direction, or at least walk past her like she didnt even exist!! How that turned into such a close friendship, that we are like sisters...I do not know!!! Thats the friendship mystery, I guess!!

I'll run now! The lady will be waiting for me and if I am even a nanosecond later than 5:0:0:0:0:0:0:0:0:0, I just might not be able to blog again!!! (actually, given the traffic in Mount Road, I am going to be late anyways, at least by a few minutes!! I think I just might have to resort to the I-was-so-rushing-I-almost-met-with-an-accident look!! Then she'll be all worried about how I am now!! Har har har!! Am I baaadddd or what?!!!!)

*!! LoVe !!*

How does one identify love? Am I in love if I feel a rush of such emotions that my heart pumps enough blood to 'paint the town red'?!!!! Or am I in love when I wake up in the morning, not dreading the strenuous aerobics, the rush back home, the traffic at Nelson Manickam road, the deadlines-instead feeling like the world couldnt be more at peace and joy?!

I read somewhere that love is nothing but a mere chemical reaction...(excuse me for the obvious lack of in depth knowledge)but speaking in 'nature' terms, Lady moths secrete this chemical called phremones, which are so powerful that they can attract a gentleman moth almost 4000 miles away!! lol!! wow! is that explosive or what?!! Thats for moths and mothsesses! What about us? We the most intelligent, yet so lost in many avenues humans?! I do not know!!
However, since almost everything, nah! everything in nature is replicated in everything else, maybe we do...is 15,000 kilometers a possible distance for love to grow? (not that I am aware of any phremones secretion!!!!!)

Maybe its not all that 'scientific', maybe its not all that 'physiological', maybe its not all that 'logical'...maybe it is...I dont know!

All I know is that there is more hope than before, more joy than before, more enthusiasm than before. There is more love than ever before.

And did I tell you? I never even got upset with the guy who was honking behind me at the red traffic signal!! Funny!

Awesome = Women

One of the most irritating things about my aerobics centre is that it resembles our country...tremendous population, lack of infrastructure. Lack of dumbells, lack of mats, lack of sticks!! And thats when I caught a glimpse of what it is to be a woman!
Mine is a mixed aerobics group, about 10 women and 15 men. The day in discussion was one of the most strenuous work outs ever, Prabhu, our instructor said, "dumbells" and everyone rushed to get theirs. The men are strategically placed, as in, they are close to the little box where the dumbells are stored. And by the time, we the deprived women reached the box ....late and damn! there were only four pairs of dumbells. So four of us took the four pairs and there were four more women doing the dumbell exercises without them.
I was happily doing my workout when suddenly one girl stopped her workout and gave one of the dumbells to another girl, we all followed suit. Now there were 8 women with one dumbell each! And we all did our workout (happily ever after?! Couldnt resist it!)
The same thing goes with the mats, if there is a deficit of mats, we girls simply shift and share mats!!
Ok, whats the point?! Well, the point is, that I think women are great when they want to be!!
AND! That I am proud proud proud to be a woman!!!!!! :D

Agendas and winning

When my children were toddlers, I had a quote stuck on my shelf which read, “When we lose our agendas, everybody wins.” At that time I was j...
