Please Shut Up !!!

How many of you out there are good listeners... or rather prefer listening...

I always thought that people who write a lot do not talk much but rather perfer to listen...

Well... just a situation... Imagine you are a doctor who is married to a woman from the Software Industry... At the end of a typical day, you both reach home frustrated with the day that went by.., and naturally you start to explain all about your day...

The lady would be talking about just how her code would not work while you would be explaining how the appendix would just not come out... (I have no idea about all that... )

Naturally, you would not understand head or tail about what the other person wants to say... and in your lousy mood... you would not feel like asking that person and that person would get even more frustrated explaining...

To stop confusing you even further... wouldn't it be nice... if each person agrees that they had a lousy day and go ahead with the day rather than delivering a lecture it...

And anyway, what reaction are you expecting from the other person... Sympathy? Empathy? Solution??? I have no idea...

Well some say that it is always good to vent out your thoughts... My dear friend, when what you speak means nothing but crap to the other person... and also dulls his mood off... why do it???

So that is just a suggestion from my side... Learn to control your mouth... and that is not just endless talk and gossip... also things like these...

Once we learn this art... we would be a lot more independant... though this does not apply for all situations...

One final word... just before you start off on a long talk... just imagine yourself in the listener's position and talk... You would automatically filter out a lot of crap from your talk... :0

Have a nice week ahead...

P.S - Sorry for the harsh title... but that is what would be running in the head of a poor listener at times... (again I say it... at times only)

Chicken Run...

Well I guess by now you must have guessed what this topic is all about...

Chicken has always been one of my favorite dishes... Any dish involving chicken used to have no problem... it would always be delicious...

Another added advantage was that the other dishes needn't be nice if there was chicken to accompany them...

I maintained such a healthy relationship with dear chicken till...

Out of the blue came this news about bird flu... Whoever thought of infecting the chicken with such a bad disease... It is anyway very bad...

The disease was concentrated around China and we, in India were still not much concerned about those developments... But now they have confirmed its presence in India and I had to consider life more important than my friend, Chicken...

Anyway, I hope the disease passes by without any impact... Perhaps some vaccination for them or something for humans...

I know there are items like mutton and beef, but they are less friendly...

Finally, dear chicken , this blog is just to say how much I am missing you... I have we can meet again in the near future... However, as of now... we will have to say good-bye...

Your friend,
InTeGeR

P.S - Overheard at a chicken meet... "They wanted to eat, so they killed us... Now they don't want but again they kill us... Damn Homo Sapiens..."
