Trek it out!

I think Treks are so much fun! However tough (or I like to say adventurous) the journey upwards may be, the view from the top is always worth it. And the feeling of nature all around me is something else, not to mention the freshness of the air.

Which is why I thought it would be exciting if I got Mr. Ninja along to experience the same with me. But it turns out Mr. Ninja had another perspective to offer.

What To Expect When You're Not Expecting

The topic of expectations reminded me of the quote by Dulquer Salman's character in the movie 'Bangalore Days':

"Once school is over, are you writing your entrance exams?
If you finish your degree, did you get a job?
When you get a job, what's your salary?
If you get a good salary, when are you getting married?
After the wedding, when are you having kids?
If you don't have kids, do you want the Doctor's number?
If you do have kids, same questions... Season 2!"

Clearly, I'm not interested in following this sequence. (Hey, I've met it half way, that should be good enough.)

P.S. Oblivious Uncle is back!

School's Out. For Summer.

If you sang the title as you read it just like I did when I typed it, Cheers.

Summer holidays. Ah, I miss those. Equivalent to fun while in school, now all it evokes is a visual of a lot of kids playing outside when I'm rushing to work. Not that I have a problem with kids; I actually get along very well with people younger than me.

I feel like I can connect with any kid and have interesting conversations. And they can be enlightening conversations.

Love..Bytes

So it's Mr. Ninja's birthday and I thought I'll write something a little cheeky this year..talk about how Mr. Ninja responds to some of my questions in the most surprising and unexpected ways.

I'm not going to write much this time - mostly because I'm on a holiday - but also because the comic strip pretty much speaks for itself.

P.S. Biggest birthday wishes to the Ninja in my life :)

As a special Birthday Tribute, share your stories about the Mr. Ninja in your life (I'm sure everyone has one) or simply send your birthday wishes on Twitter/Facebook/Instagram with #ThatsSoNinja

Cheers! And hello from Sri Lanka!

By The Way

Sometimes we get busy. Sometimes we get so busy a lot of our conversations are in the form of 'by the way's as we weren't able to or forgot about sharing news, gossip or information at the time that it happened and only get to relay it much later as a passing comment. Which is okay, it happens.

But sometimes, 'by the way's go to a whole new level which makes you wonder, 'hmm..maybe we need to slow down a bit and take a breather'.

So Punny

Let me start by saying that Mr. Ninja is a very intelligent man. His mind works fast, much faster than mine probably ever will.

But as Henry Allen said on 'The Flash', "Sometimes you just have to slow down to get back to where you want to be." Because you go too fast you'll trip and fall on your face. And no, that wasn't part of the original quote, that's just me. And this applies not just to actions, but words too.

My point is, there are times when Mr. Ninja makes statements that make me go wha-? And this aspect is my comic exhibit for the week.

But then again, I feel like I cover this aspect every week! XD

One way or Another

I think everyone's got their things they are good at, things they are okay at and things they don't even want to bother trying because they are pretty sure they will suck at. I don't imagine anyone can be good at everything.

Sometimes I wonder if there really is such a thing as an all rounder - I think the definition would be better as Jack of all Trades and Master of None (although I'm sure there are exceptions).

And then this leads to that moment where you are being complimented on something..or are you?
