SNIFFING

WHEN  I WAS IN UPSTATE NEW YORK, JUST NEAR THE CANADIAN BORDER, I USED TO GO FOR LONG WALKS IN THE WOODS. LOCALS SAY I MAY COME ACROSS BEARS BUT, NOT TO FEAR- THEY ARE HARMLESS AND WILL NOT ATTACK.I NEVER BELIEVED THEM.JUST IMAGINE, YOU WALKING ALL ALONE OUT THERE AND YOU FEEL A WARM BREATH BEHIND YOUR SHOULDERS- AND THIS UGLY BEAST IS SNIFFING AT YOU. ONE THING IS FOR SURE, HE DOES NOT HAVE TO KILL ME- I WOULD HAVE DIED OF FRIGHT ON THE SPOT!!!       VJ- THE MIDNIGHT OWL

MY STOREROOM

This is my storeroom in the basement. Since I did not want to pay income tax, I converted all my money into US Currency and placed it here. But then I began to feel a bit guilty. Because this is Christmas time- a season of giving- and I heard a little whisper in my heart to give half of this to the poor. Because I am a God fearing man, I don't want to be disobedient to the heavenly whisper, so I have decided to give half of this to whoever needs it.  Anybody who is short of money out there- please contact me immediately.Each person is entitled to bring 1 wheelbarrow each.      Vijay -The Midnight Owl

MISMATCH

We are usually attracted to our own kinds because its safer that way. Similar outlook in life, not frowned or rejected by in laws, similar  colour and similar in many other ways.But sometimes Providence overrules our natural preferences and we find that we are more appreciated, liked and respected by people beyond our ken. Do not be hesistant to open up.Though we may be different our heart rhythms may be the same tempo and warmness. May all things rhyme in harmony in your life.This is my end of the year wish  for all  visitors of this blog.    Vijay- The Midnight Owl
