Once bitten twice shy, or may be more

I stumbled upon the following on a website called experienceproject.com. I can relate to this one so much, and I have decided to put it on my blog. It goes like this ..

" I try to learn from the mistakes that were made in past relationship, become wiser and more cautious after each one. Therefore it takes me time to be able to show how I really feel about a person. Although inside my heart melts for every compliment made by them, every sweet or kind thing they do, and truly appreciate the warmth they show.

But I will not throw myself out there and wear my heart on my sleeve until they have earned my trust. I have been hurt, and badly in relationships. Its just the reality of my life, and the choices I may have made. So I am a sceptic, and will believe words that are backed up by actions more so thea just words. I will make sure they have shown me and have accepted me and respected me for being me. I cannot pretend to be who I am not. And allowed me the time needed to gain that comfort in that relationship. Once that happens I am the warmest and most loving person to be with."

Discovering the 'Roots'

I remember being fascinated by a TV commercial for a website called Ancestry.com. It was a new concept, in 2005 perhaps. I love how in the US, they trace the roots with the Social Security Number and form the family tree. Hailing from India, a country that has existed and birthed generations much earlier that the US; I often wish that our ancestors had some sort of tracking mechanism. I'm glad that the PAN number concept has sprung up in recent times, but nevertheless. How many of us can pin point where we came from? I would love to know though. Many of us have moved cities. Many of us have parents that made the move earlier on in their careers. I know Indians in the US who were born here because their great grand parents moved here in 1950s. I am curious to know more about my Ancestory. We don't have any tracking mechanism such as Social Security numbers, but it would be nice if I knew the profession the men folk were involved in, where did the move to, what was their

Scars of time

Situations we wish never happened in the first place, certain periods of time that seemed to pass very slow, like eternity but that will also pass. But there is always a reminder lingering in the mind, i think it is subconcious, and is there to stay in you for as long as you live.

Thoughts ..

Last couple of weeks have been busy settling down at work. So far so good, work is challenging and interesting, which is how I like it to be. Downtown Houston is connected by a network of underground tunnels, its a sight to see for any visitor, filled with eateries and hangouts. It's fun to work in those high rises downtown, MINUS the bumper to bumper traffic. I have a chronic cold that has been persistent for a two months now. It is starting to irritate me, but my guess is that Archu brings it from her daycare to me. Maybe its time to see the doc. Thought for today: If there is nothing good to say, say nothing at all.
