Yesterday morning started as usual; slept till 11:30 in the morning. These days i sleep only by 12:30 /1 am. So on friday, i thought i'll watch some movie, and went to the office again by 8:00pm to take my laptop. Then to the gym, came back n watched Santhosh Subramaniam. Though, the character of Genelia is realy unrealistic (is this an oxymoron? hav to check), its nice to watch. Ofcourse, it had some funny moments too. I'd say its is an OOOkkk kind'of movie. And thats the reason for the first sentence.Had bath and went to have some bf; Since it ws already 1pm, there ws no normal items and hd to opt for Veg Dosa;
After that i felt i'd better goto office rather than sleeping again. This ended up to be good for two reason; 1. Called Boops and he said he'll talk to me via GTalk; And so installed GTalk and talked for more than 1 & half hrs. Was really good talking to him after a long time. We were talking about the good old days ( he went to malaysia only three months back), abt our current teams and then chumma vetti pechu. There were people frm the other team and since no body knew tamil, i was aaramsay chatting loudly. Possibly, they might come with a complaint by Monday :-) And i learnt my first word in Malay "Salamath Malam", which i think means Good Night. KK was at office and he called for a cup of tea. So had to stop my chat and go. And now the 2nd:
After all this had a chat with one person in my floor. This is a person whom i don't know much bt have talked to sometime back. I wanted to say a few words to the person and leave early , as i had to workout; but the talk went on for quite sometime. It was a general talk abt spiritualism (i think we can call it spiritual). Then we discussed abt talking truth and then, the person happened to narrate a small story about saying truth at any circumstances. As usual, once upon a time, long ago there was a boy who was supposed to carry some gold coins. He was to pass through places where thefts on travellers were common, and hence his mother sewed the coins in his dress so that even if they are looted, the boy can save the coins. Since they travel in the deserts, they travel in groups( i've read about travelling groups in deserts in Alchemist).As xpected they were caught by some gang and the gang took all their money. When they asked the boy, the boy cud have lied; instead he said that the gold coins are sewed in his dress and was ready to give it. Seeing such an honesty, the thief decided to give back everything and they too decided to change themselves. OK, Since its a story, there should be a moral and the moral is saying truth will always help u and reward u.
I too have heard this story in a different form, bt the interesting part is the person believed that it had happened in reality. yup, it might have happened, bt to me its still a story. I cudn't feel anything abt this story; it was the same feeling that you get after u hear some moral story in ur Moral Science classes in school. And thinking of our own Valluvar, i argued that Saying a lie that doesn't harm anybody else is not bad, bt the person refused and said its pure selfishness, that makes u tell that kind of lie. And i gave another xample, say if one is late, he gives lame xcuses like traffic or a flat tire. And the person ofcourse hd an answer tht one can always say tht "i'm sorry that i'm late" and agree to it.( in my case, this does nt hold good; the reason being i was always late for my college. Its easier to count the days i've been early or for that matter at right time). This made me think for a while and though the discussion was continuing, this pt was still pricking my mind. I always say that i dont lie except for some thing like the above one. And i don't consider them lies; Some how i felt very bad, b'coz i had earlier told this person something chumma to get to know some details. And seeing the persons belief in saying truth, made me confess that something which i had told earlier. It was bit tough to do that bt its really a good feeling. Though i havn't done or told anything wrong or bad, i just confessed. This person had a wide knowledge about religion and spiritualism in general. I was really shocked, bcoz i had a very different assumption about the person. I believe these day my ability to figure out people's character is getting worse :-(. Though the above said happened yesterday, i'm writing it on Sunday night. I know, if one gets to hear some motivational speeches, he'll have his hormones flowing to implement all those the same day and the next day he wud hav lost atleast 50% interest and the next day, it would be 0%. So i waited a day to find out if i still have the feeling. Since i've written such a big thing, i knew its still in me.
