My Son

Writing after a month....
last week end my son accompanied me to the temple...he does accompany me some times, so what was different last time?
At the entrance of the temple there is a shoe stand having pigeon holes to place shoes prior to entering. Normally I place my shoes on the rack and my son places his pair on top of my pair....This time around it was different, he placed his pair in a different pigeon hole....
One side of my brain told me that this meant nothing, just that he placed it in the pigeon hole closest to him...the other side refused to accept this as an explanation....my heart agreed with the latter...
I am really happy that my son (2 year 9 months old) has started to create his own identity, he has started believing that he is a separate person and needs to have his own...Also very surprisingly it saddens me that this is his first step away from me...As they say the birds grow and fly out of the nest and to my heart this felt as though the first step towards flying away...
Happy Sad combo experience indeed...

Conspiracies of the universe....

Hi,

Continuing where I left off last eveing...

On Monday night I went to the mall to collect the left over items from the department store and to my surprise, there was a formula one car (Renault) on display at the very same mall. Now my excitement knew no bounds as I am a diehard F1 fan. Thus the conspiracy of the universe astoundingly continued. I am sharing some of the photographs of the F1 car that I clicked at the mall.

Conspiracies of the universe

Hi,
Wish to share an interesting experience that I had over the past week end. On Sunday afternoon I had been to a mall with my family and did some petty purchases at a department store, while the items were not many the packing boy decided to pack those in two separate bags and I took only of them home... which, as you would have guessed, I realised only after reaching home...Surprisingly the contact numbers of the store were not mentioned on the bill or on the carry bag. I thought that I would have to search them on the internet and call, which I decided to put off till Monday...However while browsing through some timepass newspaper I came across an advertisement of the same store and luckily it had the store's telephone nos. I managed to speak with the customer serivce fellow by 6 pm on Sunday and he confirmed (based on the stock codes on the bill which I read out to him) that one bag was with them and that I could come and collect it on Monday.
Had read in the 'Alchemist', book by Paulo Coelho, that if a particular thing has to happen then the universe conspires to make that happen. This incident reminds me of this...To think that firstly I normally do not browse news papers at home (as I like watching TV), secondly that the newspaper that I was browsing was Fridays newspaper and I picked it up as there was no other newspaper around me...
There is one more surprise element to this story, would write about that tomorrow...
