"The weak can never forgive. Forgiveness is the attribute of the strong"- Mahatma Gandhi
How true that is.

TumTum
Though they may have holes
It does not dampen their soles
Though they may be weathered
They never leave me
Though many chuckle, tease or mock
They have stood their ground
Through sunny and rainy days
Through heartache,head ache, and stomach ache
They remain my friends
My dearest shoes…
What would I do without you?

Paint My Love
My colleagues have a certain liking for karaoke as there is virtually nothing to do in PD if you’re not into enjoying a book, or walking on the soft sandy beach on a cool evening. So for every teambuilding session, karaoke will always be slotted in as a program. WAJIB Lagi!
What happened was, we were separated into groups according to color (long story). There were 4 categories: Solo, duet (backup dancers-optional), duet + back-up dancers (a must), and Mystery Round (1 gurl, 2 guys). By default I had to be in the last category (there were only 4 women- yes, the population of women in my workplace is only 9%).
Guess what the Mystery Round was?
"Acting out the video clip for Kuch kuch Hota Hai"
Kajol: Yours sincerely (me)
Shah Rukh Khan: Fauzi
the Tree: Capt Siva
No way! I know I can’t dance (what more Indian dancing) to save my life. I have no rhythm.
But it was supposed to be for fun so I…relaxed my tense body (nervousness!) and tried to emulate Kajol as best as I could. I must say, I wasn’t the best Kajol. I’m not really a performer. I would rather sing SOLO than dance. Shah Rukh Khan wasn’t bad either, but our CRITCS said that “Kajol pemalu la”… that’s just politeness for “lame”.
The better part of the team building was when we played Paint Ball. Wow…that was really fun. Our team emerged the overall winner. I got spared for the first game from being shot as the guys “didn’t want to kill women and children”. Please. This woman got the flag! But after we kicked their butts, they didn’t think twice about shooting at my face!
Animals! Hehehe
I walked away with bruises but had felt some relief for a while (shooting at people is a cool way to relieve stress)
After that…back to reality…
That’s all folks. Asma Wan, out
