Positivism

My mind is all muddled up today. What I thought would be a pleasant drive this morning turned out to be a nightmare. Rather than dwelling on the negatives, I will list out now, the positive aspects of day:
1. Liked the new blouse I wore today
2. Pleasant weather when I left home this morning
3. Fairly good songs on the radio - Valentine's Day special
4. Interesting mails and messages from friends
5. Restrained from eating junk food
6. Not much of nagging from the boss (he was not well)
7. Liked the “baingan” curry I made for dinner
8. Had to search for some papers at home, found them without much hassle
9. Early evening it seemed as though I would not be able to finish all my chores, but managed to finish most of it reasonably well

And finally thanks to my friend and her prodding throughout the day I have at last updated my blog. A technical error or so she claims, sent her mail asking me when I intend to update my blog 4 times in 4 hours.

Just before I left work this evening, she told me something I found extremely interesting, and which I think is largely true – with all due respect to my male friends. She heard one of her male colleagues saying that, the first thing that comes to a man’s mind when he meets a woman, is whether the woman will fall for him – his charms, and what are the chances that he will have a “good time” with the woman, meaning I guess, a casual affair. She was absolutely furious when she called me and said “I wonder if these guys have mirrors at home, and if they do, may be they don’t look at themselves often.”

Since I’m still in a positive mood, I hope there are (enough) exceptions to this norm as well.
