2 Birthday and Anniversary Wishes

For married people, there are 2 days in a year that they don’t mind being wished on.  First is their birth, on which they had no control!!  Second is their marriage anniversary, which over a period of time, they wished they had a control on!!  For the unmarried, they want the entire world to wish them on their birthdays!!

All the people that I wish on their birthday or anniversary day are very happy on receiving my call. At least, I think so😊.  In fact, some of them call me in the evening to check my well-being, if I have not called them in the morning to wish.  I have a hunch that some of them think, oh oh not again his call😊!!

In a year, I wish 236 people on 146 calendar days.  Yes, you read that right😊.  This includes birthday and anniversaries.  For anniversaries, I wish both the husband and the wife. Hopefully over a period of time, at least one number will touch 365!!  The list of people includes family, relatives and friends.  And if I have not wished you anytime, please feel free to drop a mail to me at seshjaya@gmail.com with your celebration day(s) and your photo. Include your spouse photo too, if you are married!

No No No…. I am not Mrs Shankuntala Devi to remember such a lot of info!!!  As you age, you come up with new techniques of remembering things.  This is what I have done.  I create a calendar during November of the previous year.  In the calendar, I paste (not actual pasting, digital pasting) the person’s photograph on his/her birthday.  In case 2 or more people celebrate their occasion on a single day, I paste one person or couple’s photograph (for anniversary) and write the names of the others on the photograph at the bottom.  Check out the snap below for this month details.


Every morning I check the calendar and wish the people.  Please note, I do not WhatsApp the wish!! I CALL them either through the phone, if they are in India or through other messaging services, if they are abroad.  After all it costs next to nothing for a call.  If you really want to wish the person, just call them instead of typing out the message.

Simply use the above technique and start becoming popular among your family and friends!!  It definitely worked for me!!  Do post your comments below in case you saw a change in the behavior of your family/relatives/friends on using this technique!!  Cheers!!

    It is very thoughtful of you to convey your greetings over phone. Digital communications are fast but lack warmth. A phone call may not be the perfect substitute for a handwritten letter which has disappeared , but it is far better than the cold and perfunctory cyber-conversations which dominate social interactions.A birthday greeting is twice blessed. It channelizes the socializing inclinations of the greeter and makes the greeted happy.

The Blog Beginning!!

Hi Friends, I am starting a blog series from next week!! This blog is a curtain raiser on that.  These blogs would contain, as the name suggest, musings from the happenings around us.  I will also be sharing some tips for some how-to-do things.  Some ways to handle and use technology.  How to track your expenses and other such tips. You can be sure that all of them are being used by me in my day-to-day or month-by-month dealings. Rest assured that I will not ask you to do something that I don’t!!  Some of my musings may be already being used by some people.  In that case, that particular blog is meant for others and not you J .  However you may go through the same at your own leisure!! I will make sure that you can read the blog in 5 minutes flat.  I am estimating this based on my reading speed J !!  Anything more than this, I am sure I will lose you for the next blog!!

167. Ramanarayanam Temple, Vizianagaram

Image
This temple should be on your must-watch bucket list!  It was inaugurated in March 2014.  Not many people are aware of this temple.  I spoke to an official there as to why they are not promoting this in a big way.  He said they have a website and all the details are published there.  I believe, since most of the stuff is mentioned in Telugu language, they are not able to attract many visitors.  Although for the Hanuman 3-d laser projection show, held thrice in the evening, there is a crowd.    The temple is located on the outskirts of the Vizianagaram town. The temple is in the shape of a bow.  At the two ends of each bow, there are 2 temples, one for Ram-Lakshman-Sita and one for Vishnu.  Between the temples, shaped in the two bows, there are two galleries depicting Ramayana.  A total of 72 laminated moldings depict the entire Ramayana. At the mid-way of the two galleries, is a tall Hanuman statue, on which the 3-d laser show is depicted every evening.  From near the gate, 2 two pat

1 WhatsAppa Mantras

We all are aware of what WhatsApp is and use it almost on an hourly basis now.  These are some of MY mantras that I follow while using WhatsApp.  You might be following some of these on your own without realizing the same!!  In case you have identified more, please feel free to use the comments section to tell me.  Maybe I can publish an updated Mantras List later!!  Fix a fixed time for checking WhatsApp messages and replying to them.   Other times, just switch off the notifications so that you don’t unnecessarily check your phone for new messages.   Most of the times it would have been the same forward that you got 2 days back!!   Please remember, in case of any emergency, the contact would have called you and not have sent a message JJ Forward only those messages that bring some emotion to you – happiness, heart-whelming or something that makes you proud.   No need to forward just because someone else forwarded to you and you want to make others too suffer JJ .   And please
