Black and white

The girls now have matching black and white dresses (Courtesy of Pondy Bazaar shopping).

We did the usual photo shoot..

Jr. personally requested that these pictures go in the blog, so she can see the pictures after she grows older! Read a recent disturbing article that regular data CD's dont last long. They degrade over 12-15 years.. All of Jr.'s baby photos are already on CD's for the last 6 years. Not a bad idea to put these on blogger, huh?

Just plain tired..

Somehow feel powerless.

What is the point in working so hard, paying your taxes, voting, trying to be a good citizen when you know that

half of your work goes to fund things you do not support (thanks to tax money),

another tenth of your work goes towards the garbage into unscrupulous hands (your retirement money) and

another thirty percent goes into mortgage at ridiculous rates when there is a whole bunch of guys enjoying free money out there!

Just plain tired..

they might as well give me a ration card and some food stamps. Maybe my health will improve and I will be less stressed out?

Should we even bother to teach our kids to be responsible when the irresponsible seem to have an upper hand today? or should I just ask my kids to just figure out "how to beat the system"?

After leaving you with that thought, really wanted to change the mood of the post with some joke.. but not one comes to mind.

The joke, really is on me!

ps. A friends neighbor (only an aquaintance of mine) has bought three houses with each house being loaned based on previous house with different banks, and has bought two jet skis, a hawaii vacation, rented the entire floor of a San Francisco popular destination for his daughters 16th birthday party (apparently it is a tradition for people from that country) and he has no collateral on anything except the houses because he has no down payment in any of the houses. Dude says he has nothing to lose, considering he has already spent all the money!!!

Bob Dylan's voice echos through my head right now as I go to bed..

When you got nothing, you gott nothing to looooossssse
How does it feeeel
How does it feeeeeeeeeeel

To be on youurrrrr owwn
With no direction hooome
Like a complete unknownnnnn
Like a rollllllllling stonnnnnnnnnnnnnne?

We don't want that!

A conversation overheard...

Jr. : Don't paduththy daddy (do not touble daddy)
LO : (nods head vigorously and says) Ok. I know, If we paduththy daddy then he will die and then we will have a new daddy and we don't want that, right ?
Jr. : RIGHT !!

Daddy is a little disturbed right now!

No, this is not aananda kanneer (happy tears) that the girls don't want another daddy or daddy to die!

This is worry that they take it for granted that they will have another daddy? They have picked a non worthy replacement already ?

That is scary!

ps. (for those of you who saw my facebook entry, you should know that this comes at a very disturbing time..).

pps. for those who do not know, a new colleage at work comes to my desk, looks at the first portrait that San and me posed for 10 years ago and says "Hi, you used to be a handsome guy once!".. she said that without any remorse, not batting an eyelid, just matter of fact!! Had no answer to that one...

ppps. for those of you who are wondering where all the hansomeness went, look no further..(one of the photos from that set is at the bottom of this post)..
