We the People....

How intolerant we have become! We find faults in people so easily and are very hard to please. We hardly praise someone without a rider attached about some weak spot. The classic example is Gary Kirsten who's been 'favoured' to be our next coach. Hardly has his name been mentioned and our news channels have bared a 'derogatory' piece from his diary whilst touring India 10 years ago. It seems he's written about the lack of western luxury in this country or something like that which is very much true. I mean, we've got worse problems than that - we have dirty, narrow 'highways', we have people who spit on the road every 5 mins, we have autodrivers who can take even a native for a ride if allowed and we have people who can rape and kill anyone and everyone - and we ourselves curse all this and that's fine. But of course, Kirsten should've foreseen his future and praised our great 'culture' , potential and what else even in his dreams. Nonsense! But I wonder how he allowed his diary to be roaming all over the place!

I got reprimanded by my boss yet again for being lenient towards my 'boys'. I wonder how I can improve myself in this matter because there are various cases in front of me - one incapable, another laden with domestic problems, one more intelligent but lazy and yet another, a fresher. Tomorrow I'm supposed to be giving a hard speech.

Ever since my uncle has been admitted to hospital, I haven't spoken to my grandmother and I think I will be able to only when he at least starts walking. It sounds strange to me that in these difficult times I do not want to comfort her but I've spoken often with my uncle himself. But somehow I feel sorrier for my grandmother, I don't know why. I love her a lot!

The kid's school interview is on Monday....
