Some jobs never

Then there are
jobs, which get done somehow!
Why does this
happen?
Some jobs…. mind
perceives them as unpleasant and when you are about to do them, mind gives one reason or other not to do them.

This title sounds a dramatized fallacy but a little reflection on our part would prove it a great truth. Disagree? Then listen to this.
We communicate in terms of language and our language proficiency is the sum total of our knowledge of vocabulary, grammar and all the tools that language offers like Idioms, phrasal verbs, metaphors , oxi morons etc.

In rural places like Kinnigoli the appointment system doesn’t work quite efficiently at the medical practitioners clinic.

Have you too been a bad lover all these days? This might help you.
Love means giving significance to someone or something in your life.
You just feel that, the person or thing is important to you.
It shows, in your thoughts, speech and action.
You don't have to state or announce.
You just have to be.
You love someone, then you don't spend time expecting that person or thing to love youJoyer Rudolphhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17639451488177248524noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3696915033835616189.post-4338615568889480042011-11-12T05:25:00.001+05:302014-08-10T13:31:13.253+05:30Key to happy living: stop expecting
This can change your life.
The key to the wonderland of happiness lay in our ability to be " expectation less".
Don't expect your close family members to be sensible 100% of the time, let them have room for some human errors.
Don't expect your freinds and relatives to be kind to yourself, they have a choice and let them exercise it.
Don't expect yourself to be perfectly fine all the time, Joyer Rudolphhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17639451488177248524noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3696915033835616189.post-79653583204687599842011-11-09T05:34:00.004+05:302014-08-10T13:31:13.269+05:30Be a hound?
A hound is a ferocious beast.
It acts on instincts. It doesn't waste time thinking; it just acts. Takes ruthless and decisive action.
A hound that accompanies a hunting party growls and pounces on its prey the moment it spots it.
A hound that watches a herd, rounds and rounds it and get wildly active the moment it senses presence of a enemy.

You start a blog and are ready to leave some marks on the vast virtual landscape but you find a constipation striking your blog and not much coming out in the form of posts.
