The life of my friend FISHY

Imagine being confined to your home for the rest of your life. Food and other day to day necessities would get dropped in from the roof every morning and evening. As for cleaning, that will be done on a monthly basis, and you’d get put into a small cage during this process.

I’m fish sitting for someone, and this is what I imagine life is like for my friend, Fishy. I talk to Fishy for a few minutes every morning, to make her day a little brighter. I have this funny feeling that she understands me.

So read through them, and let me know what your thoughts are.

An Interesting One Day Carpool Relationship!

I’m on an Indian DL (distribution list) at work, where mainly Indian folks exchange information, post classifieds, etc. I recently came across a request from someone named Jyothi, who is looking for a carpool buddy from Fremont. Whoa!

Perfect, nah? So I respond, we exchange contact info, and a few minutes later I get a call from the person. So I answer, and it’s a guy. What the freak? When did Jyothi’s become guys. That’s like having a male Jessica. Doesn’t make sense. Anyhow, I think to myself, it’s okay, whatever saves me time and money. We agree to begin carpooling today, Monday.

People can pick up on when you’re “faking it” And make sure to communicate after listening (step #5 ).

Mature – Immature Relationship

We attract those people who are of similar maturity level to our own. If we find ourselves always surrounded by immature people, then there needs to be a change in our environment in order to grow and mature. We are never the same from inside, as we are outside in terms of maturity. There are different stages of life. We are at cross roads when we hit those rough spots, which stops us to grow or pay attention to life’s valuable lessons mentally. So a person’s maturity level can never be determined by his biological growth. Maturity is a very important vehicle in establishing a successful relationship. Below are 3 basic types of relationships based on person’s maturity level.
