Jungle Walk


The whole of the country was rocked with blasts last week...to top it up mumbai was flooded due to incessant rains !!!
mumbaikars had very few options dis weeked since malls n moview were banned by near n dear ones 4 fear of a blast !! sad..but next week ppl will bang ...throng malls agains..its just a matter of panic 4 de moment..
so we decided to do somethin diff..go 4 walk..i shouted..n go 4 a jungle walk !! wsa a unanimous decision...a small jungle closeby to my residence is where we headed..
its a small hill...so we parked de car ..decided to trek de whole way up...oo...started with a steep slope..n i realised time to shed some kilos..if i need 2 trek dis again..wow..the whole route had trees perched on either sides..birds chirping...flowers swaying to tune of the air blowing..i cd hear the far off water stream so clearly...
l luv nature.....luv jungles..luv trekking thru them..m not scared of animals..only reptiles is one category tat i dread...
our walk ended as approached a small village..to my horror the beauty of the jungle ended..where the village began..since it was littered so badly..bad site ...our legs did not support us anymore..we were tired..moreover hungry..so got bac to the foothill.to hv garma garma soup...a small shop was selling..
ahh...longing to back to the jungle again...tis time a night safari !!!
so jungle boys n gals share yur safari experiences if any..

Workholics...


This one is for the workolics of the world..who cannot think beyond work..work..work...

Ppl can skip the following.

1.Lunch

2.Dinner

3.Calling up their loved ones

4.going to the loo...

Ah...there is long list here..that workolics can skip...I hate them...why cant ppl work on time..i mean 9 to 5 types..working long hours does not ensure quality work...quality work comes out with qualtiy time and quantity time like 9 to 9...

my dear beloved friend landed in the hospital last tuesday cuz he skipped lunch !!! cna u beleive tat..skipped lunch and was running high fever end of the day..put in the hospital for next two days...on 4 bottles of saline...this has been a routine for ever for him..dunno when he will understand to take care of himself..work well..work on time..and not work everytime..

i spent two days on the hospital bedside missing my work too....

Hope he realizes and concentrates on self health before work..
