Do you love eating the last cookie?

 I never thought that the curd rice is also a good food choice for dogs. My mom usually gives curd rice when she finds nothing else is attractive for our pet dog. He leaves some food in the bowl occasionally, and my mom makes a small rice ball and pleads with him to eat, saying, “the last one, eat… eat.” Of course, he can never escape, and I know I would have also faced the same when I was a child. He can eat that extra food, even though he is not hungry.

“One more rep… one more buddy” is a common phrase you hear if you go to the gym. Self-motivation can help a person to do one or two reps more. It becomes easy and fun when you have your exercise buddy. These additional reps help in training your muscles to do more. You can note that these extra reps also cause workout accidents as the tired muscles may fail to match the spirit of the motivated mind.

Those who got the habit of watching multiple episodes of a series in a single go may find that they might have slept before the last one and watch that episode again when they resume it next time. Or you might know a friend who studies for exams and sleep (I mean the one who really studies and not the one who sleeps as soon as he opens the book) unknowingly and read that chapter again later.

Towards the end of a trip, a passionate driver may take a short roundabout road when the reading says 994 km so that he can reach 1,000 km or 999 km.

It has become natural for us to push and complete more. There can be a hundred of reasons for it. The result of that action could be either positive or negative. The question is, will we be able to pick and do?

New Year Resolution 2015

Another new year, another ( same! ) set of new year resolutions. I wanted to read Thirukural and set target 50 last year but couldn't achieve it. But then I used one Kural in my every blog post . New Year Resolution List: For year 2016, I should shorten it to at least 1/3 of this list. At least, make it more readable ;) Reading Books: Book reading is going to be reduced this year. I am planning to reread few of the books I read last year. Of course, will find time to read books suggested by friends. I have got Bhagavad Gita tamil version from my friend and might read this before the end of 2015. I Am Malala, The Last Temptation of Jesus Christ, Mossad, 'The Madman, The Forerunner, Spirits Rebellious', Yudhargal Varalaarum Vaazkaiyum, If You Meet The Buddha On The Road Kill Him are few of the books I enjoyed reading. By the way, I have changed the FB album title from "Books I read" to "Books I read - Not To Be Shared" ;) Accounting: How difficu...

The Kite Runner

Usually, I buy and read book suggested by my friends but no one suggested me to read the book "The Kite Runner by Khaled Hosseini". I neither heard about it before I accidentally bought it. I was looking for the books I planned to buy in the Chennai Bookfair 2011 and I found this book . There was something attractive, though it was not as beautiful as of many of the books cover design, it should be the cover of it, because all I could see was only the book cover. I took it in my hand and asked myself, should I buy this?, yes was the answer and I bought it. I completed reading this book last week, after keeping it the shelf for almost 2 years. I am glad I got this book. It is one of best books I read in the recent years. The phrase " For you, a thousand times over " lingering in the mind is the proof that I really enjoyed reading this book and moved so much ;) " I became what I am today at the age of twelve, on a frigid overcast day in the winter of 1975 ...

New Year Resolution 2013

Though it looks very much similar to the previous years, it is still not the same. My wish list for 2013 :) Very much addicted to the the lovely voice in Um Paadham Panithen , words of God Will Make a Way , music and lyrics of Oru Naalil Vazhkai and the messages of Joel Osteen will continue to listen them, repeatedly.  Hoping to watch lots of videos of Marissa Mayer. Like one of my friends Madhavi, she is very energetic, enthusiastic, quick and inspiring.  It is between 72 - 75 kgs for the past five years and it is fine for me. Though I am less confident about it, hoping to remain in that range.  I should write at least one blog in every month.  I read few good books in 2012 and I should read at least 12 books in 2013 and write a summary of it. Here is the list of books I have (yet to read almost all of them) Unlike last year, after listening to my colleague Muthukumaran , decided to attend the weddings (reception - only if attending the wedding is not pos...
