Pinkophobia gone!! :)

A month ago, I hated the sight of pink colour on clothes or any of my personal items. Dunno why I developed such a strong disliking. Honestly If I stared at any pink object for more than 5 seconds, I felt like puking. It was that bad!!

And to make things worse I told my workmates at Griffith about it and also my house mate. At Office, when someone’s away on holidays, we gotta decorate their desk. And have a look at what happened to my desk, http://www.flickr.com/photos/invent/735033791/. And my house mate suddenly started to wear pink more than ever before!! Pink skirts, tops, shoes, belt, ear rings, the full suite. And her strategy worked, I kept away from her…

Now, it’s been over a month and things are different. I mean I don’t mind, pink stuff around me. The curtains in my room are pink. My bed sheet’s pink. My bedroom colour is slightly pinkish. More so, I bought a shirt, that’s pink, which I never thought I’ll ever do. Moving to a new place can sometimes have a profound effect, especially if you have lived with someone as crazy as my house mate, who would take extra pain everyday to wear pink.

So u see, pink is new trend for me now. And I am no more itchy about it.

After all, Roses are pink!!

Twenty Dollars

A well known speaker started off his seminar by holding up a $20 bill. In the room of 200, he asked. “Who would like this $20 bill?” Hands started going up. He said, “I am going to give this $20 to one of you – but first, let me do this.”

He proceeded to crumple the 20 dollar note up. He then asked. “Who still wants it?” Still the hands were up in the air.

“Well,” he replied, “what if I do this?” He dropped it on the ground and started to grind it into the floor with his shoe. He picked it up, now crumpled and dirty. “Now, who still wants it?”

Still the hands went into the air.

“My friends, you have all learned a very valuable lesson. No matter what I did to the money, you still wanted it because it did not decrease in value. It was still worth $20. Many times in our lives, we are dropped, crumpled, and ground into the dirt by the decisions we make and the circumstances that come our way. We feel as though we are worthless; but no matter what happened or what will happen, you will never lose your value.

Dirty or clean, crumpled or finely creased, you are still priceless to those who love you. The worth of our lives comes, not in what we do or who we know, but by …WHO WE ARE.

You are special – don’t ever forget it.”
