my wife razia is a source of strength for me. i have been aloof with ambition because of her big heart. we've supported each other through some hard times and i've wanted her to do things like meditation, yoga that her responsibilities are increasing by the day. there was a golden period when she would hit the gym regularly, but right now she is having priorities that keep her busy. she is a teacher and spends lot of her time with children even near our house. she is a bit strict with children if they don't study well, but i don't have any problem with it, because i study well. i want her to know that she's the crazy goodness that i've leaned on so heavily in life.

about humans and animals, considered as a social group humans are masterful at stories and tools. if taken as an individual there is really not much different between an animal ( particularly higher mammals ) and a human. both have nicely defined personalities and both can persevere towards being useful and also good relationships. this stems from the fact that both look up to approvals for their actions, get happy or sad but want to be happy. the pathological conditions in animals ( just think of a dog you have known ) that are most apparent to lay persons are mostly psychological in nature - depression in animals is quite common. this passage should make it easy to understand how a few cats and dogs have become millionaires inheriting from loving owners. one more thing is that i also suspect that octopuses are effortlessly more intelligent than humans. let us see where this discourse takes us.

yesterday on my walk i saw a scooter suddenly stopping in front of me after the rider appeared to briefly bring under control his situation. sensing something i too slowed down and gazed at the scooter. the pillion rider climbed down and went near the rider describing a comic situation or a joke and wanted to go on till he fully explained it. the rider was seen guffawing uncontrollably and berating his pal, "anna, you are telling this as we ride, what if i had fallen down ?" i picked up pace leaving the duo to laugh it out among themselves, stroking the mobile phone in my pocket.

yesterday i met my friend who lives abroad after some 25 years for 15 minutes. briefly it was like old times and we filled up each other on our families mostly. at the time of leaving he asked me about his train ticket booked by a vendor, saying he found the service charge rather high. i also felt it was on the high side. my friend's indian appearance belies the possibility that he may be accustomed to higher service levels for the money he pays for the service. i hope the vendor was able to meet his expectation later that day. the vendors do good service and have regular clientele who vouch for their services. of course some of their trade practices are criticized at times. vendors by their practice innovations have an opportunity to define a good travel culture + experience for the travelers.
