People and Things

I  tend to associate people with things and events. So, in part of my daily chores I tend to remember people some of them being friends, some random acquaintanes...

When I wake up in the morning, I want to get the important tasks done first like switching the water motor on or opening the main gate to let the maid in. But no,  a certain discussion with a co-worker years back is the first thing I rememeber then. We were discussing culture and he said when you get up from your bed and don't tidy it, half your energy is lost according to some belief. So, no matter in how much rush I am on waking up, I tend to do my blankets first.

I also tend to relate people with people so that when I left a place of work and joined another way back in 2005, I immediately linked an old friend with the new one in terms of looks or character or don't know what. Incidentally, both their first names start with M and each one, though in different places and don't know each other named their first born as 'Aarnav'.

Goes true for two other friends whom I can relate in some way or the other and who don't know each other, they named their daughters Yana and Yuvna. Interesting!

The watch showing the time 10 mins past 10 in shops always remind me of a discussion with friends on why watches displayed in the shops always showed that time in particular. Well, it is all about promoting their brand; the company name became more visible!!!

With names it seems to have so much in common. Two of my friends in two different parts of the world became mothers to a son and daughter respectively on the same day or near by dates. While one called her son Ryan, the other called her daughter Reya!

And just between yesterday and today, I heard from two friends about their baby names, their babies being born within a week's difference, and they have no idea of the existence of the other person and they both decide to call their babies 'Aarav'!!! Strange coincidence! I am in 2013 now updating the original post of 2012 and I shall update more should I encounter more such coincidences!!!

More coming...as and when I remember stuff....
