Awards!!

Again, the extremely sweet Pallu has given me 2 more awards!!

She says that she loves my blog! :) :)

I am of course more than thrilled to accept them!

As most of you know, me back on track!

With my sister adjusting well in Williamsburg, I am also happy and kind of relived as well.

She is homesick of course but is getting over it and talking to her everyday thru emails helps. But the frustrating part is every call of hers is charged and I don't have access to gtalk from work.

So, I get to talk to her on weekends only till she gets her land line connection.

I have already done the 2 tags that came along with the awards long back and being extremely lazy, I haven't dug them up here now! :D

(Actually trying to beat Swaram's post length, loads of rambling done below!! :D :D :D)

So, this post has all the nonsense it needs to have in order to make sure length-wise its alright!!

You know, I'm sitting late in office today because a team mate of mine doesn't have good communication skills and we need to talk to the client lady who is of Russian origin. So I need to talk instead of him. I have no idea when he is going to improve though! Each time it's mentioned, they say he is improving and eventually he should be able to communicate!

I wonder when that "eventually" will actually happen!!

Go figure.

Trying to understand her accent is where the difficulty lies!!

Also, last week on my way home, I saw this beggar woman asking for money and she had a baby in her arms. She was holding up the baby, showing its private parts and begging for money!

Disgusting. I know.

The worst part was, the baby was in so much pain that it's cries had no voice!! Tears were rolling down its cheeks and it was in so much pain, no voice was coming out!!

Our bus driver, quite disgusted scolded her on hurting the baby.

Her reply was - "What's it to you?! Is it your baby? no right? If you want to give money, give. Else shut up!!"

She even tried to grab water bottles from a couple of kids in a car till the mother screamed and raised the glass!!

Oh, it was heart wrenching to see the baby in so much pain and knowing that the lady was causing it... She actually pinched the baby again, at the same place to make it cry once the signal was given!!

Even though you feel like helping, how to help such people?

For all you know, the baby might not be hers at all and she might just pocket that money or hand it over to who ever she is supposed to!

Ok, getting back to the awards and to pass them on. :)
I want to thank Pallu again for the awards!!
