"I walked with my coat hugged tightly round me. As the snow began to fall thicker, I shoved my hands deeper into my pockets and bent down slightly to carve a way through the drift." This to the best of my knowledge are the first few lines of an essay I had written in class IV. I even remember I was sitting in the near to last benches that day. And I absolutely loved writing about such things, .......... I was a great Ruskin Bond fan (still am)! And somehow the words which captured the moods of nature seemed to me more beautiful than any other. I would like to go back to doing that. But I think there are a lot of things which have changed since then, principally ...I have grown older. :) And so it just doesn't happen anymore, that I can sit and write a laid back article on brown, autumn maple leaves ruffling under your boots..... yes yes , romantic, how boring and a plethora of adjectives. But then there is something which is a refuge for everyone ...this is it for me. And in that one of the pictures I have is of a frozen lake with frosted trees showered in white snow, standing at the edges ...and me sitting there in this red hat and muffler with a black coat :). (I think I borrowed this scene from the movie "Love story".) Maybe someday I shall live to see it too.
What is it with people and treats. Why do people go on the back-foot whenever it comes to giving a treat ? I thought that that is something that should come naturally. When you feel happy and want to spend time with someone, when you want to show someone that you really appreciate their being in your life or what they have done for you ..... you would never hesitate to give a treat. So the fact that anybody would make excuses in giving one, means that either these factors do not exist or that money matters more.
How much does your emotional quotient matter in your life ? I know IQ matters a lot...isn't it what they say quantifies your intelligence! I have a very average IQ I know, I wonder how much of EQ I have. Does it really matter to have some or is it perfectly all right to feel nothing about anybody ? Is it ok to make relationships stepping stones, and not live on one as soon as its worth is lost ? Is the amount of money that you make at the end of the day matter more ? If you were very rich, would you be happy ? And why in heaven's name do I ever ask questions when all the answers that they have are personal opinions.
Don't bother answering them , they are all questions to myself.

Giving is a way in which you amplify, what you are giving, inside you.

--> they love attending one, but dont wanna host one ;-D
Why do people go on the back-foot whenever it comes to giving a treat ?
--> its the moolah my dear friend!
I thought that that is something that should come naturally.
--> does it to you ? if yes, I am coming over for a treat right away ;-P
When you feel happy and want to spend time with someone, when you want to show someone that you really appreciate their being in your life or what they have done for you .....
--> er... in this case, more often than not, the "someone" is just "one"! i.e. one special person :-D
either these factors do not exist or that money matters more.
--> money does matter.. how often do people give treats when their bank have a few hundred bucks ? (ok i know, the "kanjoos" wont give treats even when they are spoilt rich)

How much does your emotional quotient matter in your life ?
--> very much.. in fact, I guess, thats what makes 2 people 'click'.
I have a very average IQ I know, I wonder how much of EQ I have.
--> here ladies and gentlemen, is the epitome of modesty!
A 9-pointer in college, having worked in Oracle and heading to Amazon, announces to the world she has average IQ ! duh, who would believe that ! :-P
Is it ok to make relationships stepping stones, and not live on one as soon as its worth is lost ?
--> this question deserves an essay sized answer. I would say a few things here -
1) a relationship isnt lost, until the moment you think it is
2) people often take the easy way out - of stepping out.
3) it eventually boils down to your tenacity
Is the amount of money that you make at the end of the day matter more ?
--> No. No, it doesnt (As long as its a decent deal )
If you were very rich, would you be happy ?
--> might - if the money comes in handy to fulfill all those little things u always wanted to do all your life
And why in heaven's name do I ever ask questions when all the answers that they have are personal opinions.
--> lemme answer this one : you ask, so that people can share opinions ? :-P
Don't bother answering them , they are all questions to myself.
--> too bad i read this line after answering them all :))
ok no kidding, I did see this before, but i wanted to answer anyway :-D
Intelligence is the most -- and I mean, the most -- overrated human attribute.
EQ, I'm not too sure whether it's really important and all (actually, I think I'm), but mine is unspeakably low; and, I'll fight for all the pieces of wood for whom the EQ borders towards nil, when you emotional beings start patronizing us.
