Four, Two ka One

4 things I’m grateful for…

My family/food/clothing/roof over my head
My friends
The ‘no pets allowed in the apartment’ rule
The 10 minute run walk to/from the school bus stop
[the only exercise I get some days]

4 questions I often ask myself..…

What is the purpose of my life??
Is there any way I can avoid cooking today???
Now where did I keep my phone???
Why do I feel guilty for wanting more out of life???

4 I wasted a lot of time over the years pondering over…

I’m actually married!!!
I’ve got TWO kids!!!!!!
How do I get the dishes to wash themselves??
What goes on in the better-half’s mind???
[But now when he replies ‘Nothing’, I believe him]

4 things I want to do...

Lose weight
Climb a mountain.
Visit New Zealand.
Win a Piano
[since I don’t play, it doesn’t make sense to buy one]

4 I wish I knew earlier..

Marriage is not the destination, it’s just a shaky start.
My kids will grow up to be teenagers.
[somehow I thought they all grew directly into adults]
I’ll see my parents only once a year.
Freedom is a state of mind.

4 reasons for this post...

It’s Halloween
[honest it was when I started this post]
My sleep is precious to me.
I have to get it out of my system
I needed to post, period.



What are the 4 questions you often ask yourself???

  1. 1. How is N so talented to make a nice post even with a mundane theme
    2. Why do women want to know what goes on in the poor husband's mind [ the right answer is mostly nothing and sometimes matters not disclosable to wives :) ]
    3. Why does N want to lose weight when she is pencil thin ( see evidence in previous post)
    4. Now, what was the fourth question I had in mind ?? ......

  2. "Freedom is a state of mind" - EXTREME PHILOSOPHY. I never knew that you had such a profound philosopher inside you.

    Four questions I have in mind:

    1. What is the meaning & purpose of life?
    2. Has any great person figured that out in the past?
    3. Will any great person figure it out in the future?
    4. If no one has or will, is the responsibility to figure it out totally on me? What a great task lies ahead... hmmm... :D

    1. 1. Appearances can be deceptive. Am on FB but login once in 2-3 months.
      2. Compliments will get u everywhere.
      3. I don't mind baking but routine cooking bores me.
      4. Ask a silly question and you'll get a silly answer.

  5. 1. How can I start writing like N does - simple clear and more like talking to the reader directly?
    2. How did N raise her children to be good readers ?
    3. How come N says she is 35 plus and writes like an 18 year old?
    4. Why do I get this weird feeling that N's cooking is to die for?

    1. 1. N is not a very complicated person
      2. The apple doesn't fall far from the tree
      3. Thank U, N is ecstatic to hear this....once long back she took a popular quiz which rated the material in her blog for 5th graders.
      4. One must not blow one's own trumpet.

    1. I love them too but I feel they need space, it's a crime to keep them cooped up in apartments, no:-).
      Reading thoughts sounds like fun but in hindsight it's better to not know whats going on in another's mind;-P.
      Thanks for commenting Ankita and do visit again:-)).

  10. OMG -- I laughed out loud on the reason for Winning a Piano and when I read the first reason for this post I was wondering if Dubai celebrates Halloween at a different time than rest of the world until I read the reason.

    Gr8 as usual.
