each journey back home is a stress full experience for me , each time i travel i have the blues till i find my first glass of beer, then it becomes a joyous journey .
Airports are like big cities , you can never get bored there. each time you look up you find someone who will do their best to entertain you ... and with travelers like me who reach airports minimum of 2 hours even before check-in starts, due to their unnecessary fear of missing the flight plus i don't like to wait in lines, i wanna check the baggage in then find a relaxing bar stool get my poison and just happily observe all the actors and actresses at play in their elements in this mesmerizing show known as the AIRPORT WAIT !!!
I grab my BAR-STOOL and sit it starts with the peculiarities of people in a rush to check-in their baggage, and there incessant arguments to let their extra baggage without having to pay and the snobbish glares of business and first class passengers
towards the economy passengers . . .
That's where it all starts and after some sippas i am in my elements and this all plays to me like a well rehearsed Broadway show or maybe a spectacle on the Bolshoi - even though i have never attended any ...
life at an AIRPORT , i think i can write a lot but the rest will be on the return journey which is always more exciting and more charged !!!

6 Important Life Lessons
Lesson 1: Naked Wife A man is getting into the shower just as his wife is finishing up her shower when the doorbell rings. The wife quickly wraps herself in a towel and runs downstairs. When she opens the door, there stands Bob, the next door neighbor. Be...fore she says a word, Bob says, “I’ll give you $800 to drop that towel.” After thinking for a moment, the woman drops her towel and stands naked in front of Bob. After a few seconds, Bob hands her $800 dollars and leaves. The woman wraps back up in the towel and goes back upstairs. When she gets to the bathroom, her husband asks,… “Who was that?” “It was Bob the next door neighbor,” she replies. “Great!” the husband says, “Did he say anything about the $800 he owes me?” Moral of the story: If you share critical information pertaining to credit and risk with your shareholders in time, you may be in a position to prevent avoidable exposure. Lesson 2 A sales rep, an administration clerk, and the manager are walking to lunch when they find an antique oil lamp. They rub it and a Genie comes out. The Genie says, “I’ll give each of you just one wish” “Me first! Me first!” says the administration clerk. “I want to be in the Bahamas, driving a speedboat, without a care in the world.” Poof! She’s gone. “Me next! Me next!” says the sales rep. “I want to be in Hawaii,relaxing on the beach with my personal masseuse, an endless supply of Pina Coladas and the love of my life.” Poof! He’s gone. “OK, you’re up,” the Genie says to the manager. The manager says, “I want those two back in the office after lunch.” Moral of the story: Always let your boss have the first say. Lesson 3 A priest offered a lift to a Nun. She got in and crossed her legs, forcing her gown to reveal a leg. The priest nearly had an accident. After controlling the car, he stealthily slid his hand up her leg. The nun said,”Father, remember Psalm 129?” The priest removed his hand. But,changing gears, he let his hand slide up her leg again. The nun once again said, “Father, remember Psalm 129?” The priest apologized “Sorry sister but the flesh is weak.” Arriving at the convent, the nun went on her way. On his arrival at the church, the priest rushed to look up Psalm 129. It said, “Go forth and seek, further up, you will find glory.” Moral of the story: If you are not well informed in your job, you might miss a great opportunity. Lesson 4 A crow was sitting on a tree, doing nothing all day. A rabbit asked him,”Can I also sit like you and do nothing all day long?” The crow answered: “Sure, why not.” So, the rabbit sat on the ground below the crow, and rested. A fox jumped on the rabbit and ate it. Moral of the story: To be sitting and doing nothing, you must be sitting very high up. Lesson 5: Power of Charisma A turkey was chatting with a bull “I would love to be able to get to the top of that tree,” sighed the turkey, but I haven’t got the energy.” “Well, why don’t you nibble on my droppings?” replied the bull. “They’re packed with nutrients.” The turkey pecked at a lump of dung and found that it gave him enough strength to reach the lowest branch of the tree. The next day, after eating some more dung, he reached the second branch. Finally after a fourth night, there he was proudly perched at the top of the tree. Soon he was spotted by a farmer, who shot the turkey out of the tree. Moral of the story: Bullshit might get you to the top, but it wont keep you there. Lesson 6 A little bird was flying south for the winter. It was so cold the bird froze and fell to the ground into a large field. While he was lying there, a cow came by and dropped some dung on him. As the frozen bird lay there in the pile of cow dung, he began to realize how warm he was. The dung was actually thawing him out! He lay there all warm and happy, and soon began to sing for joy. A passing cat heard the bird singing and came to investigate. Following the sound, the cat discovered the bird under the pile of cow dung, and promptly dug him out and ate him. Moral of the story: 1. Not everyone who shits on you is your enemy 2. Not everyone who gets you out of shit is your friend 3. And when you’re in deep shit, it’s best to keep your mouth shut!See more

A friend is one who has the same enemies as you have . Abraham Lincoln
A friend of mine just posted this as her status update sometime back !!! it got me to thinking , since when being friends means taking sides, if we don't concern ourselves with the world wars, the axis and the the allies sections in world politics. i don't think that FRIENDS should have common Enemies !!!
I respect you , love you, adore you dear friend, but just because you had a misunderstanding with someone who is also known to me, i should not be made to choose amongst you or them !!!
In all actuality i have never been able to completely decipher the intricacies of this social relationship which we form on each level of our lives with different individuals and we term it as friendship, if we are lucky we may find an individual who may click with us at all these social levels and end up becoming a true friend who understands and syncs with you at all levels of your existence... but alas those are very few!!!
But we do have friends and in respect to them if we are supposed to decide whom to be friends with anymore or not , being made to choose is the worst thing you can do to your friendship... but shouldn't our so called FRIENDS also respect our choices and not expect us to choose. yes we should be careful feelings and emotions in these regards and i believe if you have an ounce of brain and some courage and lots of love , you can manage to be a friend with your friend's enemy ....
but if not then its better to follow Mr. Lincoln's advice - and take an easier way out !!!!

Need to do a Deed !!!!
How should i explain this urge to do a deed , maybe good, maybe bad or simply anything but i need to do a deed . before i cross the horizon yet again ...
Why do i have this need ? Is it simply because lately life has been pretty monotonous and i have not been able achieve or simply avail of the feeling/ sensation of achievement ?
or its the underlying fear of being pushed into the hedge of a serious relationship without having the relevant stability to sustain it ? why do people have this tendency to be pressurized into something as serious as marriage without even considering the proper pro and cons of it , being prepared for it. just so as to please the social dabble mouths and succumb to peer pressure.
And its ok that they don't ask this to themselves they are ready to jump into it as this is not the only responsibility in life, but life in itself is one big responsibility . we see it today as the next logical step without caring how will you sustain this step . its easy for parents to force us because for them this is just a duty to fulfill but how do we understand it, its not a duty or responsibility only - it is our life which will be thrown into a free fall with this !!!
Even if i want this as badly as i really want but not being able to support it puts me down and i dont know how to convince the whole social peer group what i really do feel ?
AAAARGGGGHHHH that all i can say !!! for now !!!

just me
Unless you've lived my life,Don't judge me because you don't know,never have and never will know every little thing and detail about me.You don't know what I've been through.You don't know what I've felt or what i feel right now.Its not the clothes... Its not the hair...Its not the looks...Its not the eyes...Its not the appearance...Its the personality that counts. Its really hard to wait around for something that you know might not happen.But its even harder to give up,when you know its everything you ever wanted!Holding on is tough,much tougher than letting go or simply quitting. In this life we cannot do great things ,we can only do small things with great love.Whatever you give to life ,it gives you back.The hatred which comes out from you will someday comeback to you.Perhaps the greatest charity comes when we are kind to each other,when we don't judge or categorize someone else, when we simply give each other the benefit of the doubt or remain quiet,accepting someone's differences,weaknesses,and shortcomings;Having patience with someone who has let us down,or resisting the impulse to become offended when someone doesn't handle something the way we might have hoped.Refusing to take advantage of another's weaknesses,and being willing to forgive someone who has hurt us and expecting the best of each other.
