Hi,
As usual, I am writing after a long gap. In last few days, I have found myself pretty close to write and then something or the other stopped me from doing so. reasons were both internal (to me) and external. Also I found that writing can not be a regular activity as it demands certain things like a basic urge, a worthy point, a bit of pain of not able to speak with anyone, to name a few; of course this is from my view only and may not be applicable to many others.
Hence, this time I thought that I should not bind myself to one thing but let the flow find its own way. Thus the Random Thoughts; few funny things, few not.
Just a few days back I got a baffling question in SMS and then while searching for the answer in the easiest way, by 'googling' it, I came across more such questions than the answer. So, I am putting those questions here, let's see if I get some answer or some smiles as response... sure enough, both are most welcome.
Q.1. The Question from which all this started - In English, 21 is pronounced as Twenty-One; 31 as Thirty-One; 41 as Forty-One and so on. Then why 11 is not pronounced as Ten-One but Eleven??
Next couple of questions were found while hunting for the answer to the above one.
Q.2. When we transport something by CAR, it is called as SHIPment, but when we send something by SHIP it is called CARgo. why so?
Q.3. Why night always 'falls' but never break and day always 'breaks' but never fall??
If you have more such questions than the answers, you can also share them.Whenever I start writing something, sure enough, pain of my failed marriage comes up in some or the other way just because it is not letting me go and is as omnipresent for me as air. It also remains around and I feel it now and don't feel it in next minute, just like air. But I know well that it is here only.
Last week, this thing pulled me as far as Supreme Court of India. She (my wife, how I wish to write my 'ex-wife') filed a Transfer petition for divorce case to be shifted from Raipur to Bhopal so that her 'great advocate brother' can manipulate things and take the advantage of corruption and loop holes of the system better. So the hearing was on 1st and I was there in SC. I suddenly realize how beautiful building it is and I got a chance to see it, for whatever reason though.
Now SC has directed us to Mediation Center of MP high court, situated at Gwalior. On every single hearing I hope that she will agree for some amicable way out and we will walk out peacefully but till now it has not happened. I am hopeful again this time.
I had a very nice and fulfilling experience in last few days. I was able to support someone when he needed it the most and when he came out of the situation, I felt really happy for him. However, letting his identity out will not be morally correct for me, Also it will make my joy to sound like blowing my own trumpet, which is not at all the intention. I just wanted to share that I found some happiness and satisfaction which are rare these days for me.
Just few days back we said 'happy new year' and now first month has already gone. Time just flies off, wink and there it goes. Although my bad time has stretched long but it has given me more directions to look at. I recall that dialog from historic Jurassic Park (movie) - "Life will find its way". Yes, it does find it every single time without fail. Mine is no exception to this either!
:-)
Cheers,
