Day 1 : Observation

ekta paneri-gupta

Day 1

Day began at 6:30 with the loud noise of water forcing through the tap as hubby forgot to shut off the tap night before and I didn’t realize it was on until it started pouring cats and dogs in bathroom early morning. anyway, i had to get up to shut it and i am already up 20 hours straight since then.

started my day with the daily walk. yeah, i’m becoming regular in doing that too. cardiotrainer app on my xperia motivates me a lot to do more. already 25 kms done in a week. yaay to that!

breakfast came next. although i did it alone as hubby was late in coming home after his night shift. After he came home, next few hours went in a jiffy and before i could realize it was 2 in afternoon.

i got up to get to work, hubby was off to his usual sleep hours. i had a work – lunch – work schedule for another few more hours. After that watched the new animated flick “Rango” to freshen up. it was a nice. lovely little script that makes your heart go out to this little lizard protagonist. although i kept imagining him as johnny depp because his voice over was so effective.

a few sweet somethings shared with my love as i woke him up to get ready for his night shift. Had a lovely little evening snack[breakfast for him] and then he left for work and i got back to my work. and till now am doing just that.

Guess weekend is a concept thats wasted in my lifestyle.

 

30 Days of Me

I pulled this from Punkpolkadots blog.

For me, last few months have been all about getting married, settling down, moving houses and taking a lot of stress with pending work that needs to be finished now that the wedding vacation is finished. Anyway, amongst all the other things, what i have missed the most – is being able to write. write my heart out. seems i have almost forgotten how it felt like.

And so here goes. this is an interesting challenge to write everyday!

Happy Women’s Day

March 9th, 2011 Blog No comments yet

1. The elbow is the strongest point on your body.
If you are close enough to use it, do!

2. Learned this from a tourist guide.
If a robber asks for your wallet and/or purse,
DO NOT HAND IT TO HIM.
Toss it away from you….
Chances are that he is more interested
in your wallet and/or purse than you,
and he will go for the wallet/purse.
RUN LIKE MAD IN THE OTHER DIRECTION!

3. If you are ever thrown into the trunk of a car,
kick out the back tail lights and stick your arm out the hole
and start waving like crazy..
The driver won’t see you, but everybody else will.
This has saved lives.

4. Women have a tendency to get into their cars
after shopping, eating, working, etc., and just sit
(doing their chequebook, or making a list, etc.
DON’T DO THIS!)
The predator will be watching you, and this
is the perfect opportunity for him to get in
on the passenger side, put a gun to your head,
and tell you where to go.
AS SOON AS YOU GET INTO YOUR CAR ,
LOCK THE DOORS AND LEAVE..

5. If someone is in the car with a gun to your head
DO NOT DRIVE OFF,
Repeat:
DO NOT DRIVE OFF!
Instead gun the engine and speed into anything, wrecking the car.
Your Air Bag will save you.
If the person is in the back seat they will get the worst of it .
As soon as the car crashes bail out and run.
It is better than having them find your body
in a remote location.

6. A few notes about getting into your car in a parking lot,
or parking garage:
A.) Be aware:
look around you, look into your car, at the passenger side floor , and in the back seat
B.) If you are parked next to a big van, enter your car from the passenger door.
Most serial killers attack their victims by pulling them into their vans while the women are attempting to get into their cars.
C.) Look at the car parked on the driver’s side of your vehicle,
and the passenger side…
If a male is sitting alone
in the seat nearest your car, you may want to walk back
into the mall, or work, and get a guard/policeman to walk you back out.
IT IS ALWAYS BETTER TO BE SAFE THAN SORRY.
(And better paranoid than dead.)

7. ALWAYS take the elevator
instead of the stairs.
Stairwells are horrible places to be alone
and the perfect crime spot.
This is especially true at NIGHT!

8. If the predator has a gun and you are not under his control,
ALWAYS RUN!
The predator will only hit you (a running target)
4 in 100 times; and even then, it most likely WILL NOT be a vital organ.
RUN, Preferably in a zig -zag pattern!

9. As women, we are always trying to be sympathetic:
STOP
It may get you raped, or killed.
Ted Bundy, the serial killer, was a good-looking,
well educated man, who ALWAYS played on the sympathies of unsuspecting women.
He walked with a cane, or a limp, and often asked ‘for help’ into his vehicle or with his vehicle, which is when he abducted
his next victim.

10. Another Safety Point:
Someone just told me that her friend heard a crying baby on her porch the night before last, and she called the police because it was late and she thought it was weird.. The police told her
‘Whatever you do, DO NOT
open the door..’
The lady then said that it sounded like the baby
had crawled near a window, and she was worried
that it would crawl to the street and get run over.
The policeman said, ‘We already have a unit on the way,
whatever you do, DO NOT open the door.’
He told her that they think a serial killer has a baby’s cry recorded and uses it to coax women out of their homes thinking that someone dropped off a baby. He said they have not verified it, but have had several calls by women saying that
they hear baby’s cries outside their doors when they’re home alone at night.

11. Water scam!
If you wake up in the middle
of the night to hear all your taps outside running or what you think is a burst pipe, DO NOT GO OUT TO INVESTIGATE! These people turn on all your outside taps full ball so that you will go out to investigate and
then attack.

Stay alert, keep safe, and look out for your neighbors!

 

I am the captain of my soul

Something that gives me strength in the times of weakness.

Invictus
-William Ernest Henley

Out of the night that covers me,
Black as the pit from pole to pole,
I thank whatever gods may be
For my unconquerable soul.

In the fell clutch of circumstance
I have not winced nor cried aloud.
Under the bludgeonings of chance
My head is bloody, but unbowed.

Beyond this place of wrath and tears
Looms but the Horror of the shade,
And yet the menace of the years
Finds and shall find me unafraid

It matters not how strait the gate,
How charged with punishments the scroll,
I am the master of my fate:
I am the captain of my soul.
