I will never visit ‘THAT’ spa again!

Few days back, I got a free gift voucher for a newly opened spa which was near to my place. I decided to visit them on a weekend! What a pleasant surprise? The lobby & interiors were fabulous! A soothing lemon grass air freshener enlightened my mood immediately as I entered! A smiling girl welcomed me by using my name! It gave me the feeling as if they were waiting for me! Every possible minor detail was taken care! I had been told to wait for some time! A superb drinks menu was offered which included lemonade, Coke/Pepsi & cold coffee along with some beauty magazine! Wow! It was perfectly comfortable! They took me in after 10 minutes. The place was super clean & service was amazing! What a relaxing break it was? Loved it! During my next visit, everything was same except they were having only Pepsi & Coke. The clothing was not neatly washed! I was little disappointed but still it was good! Next time they told my regular massager left the job. The new one was not goo...

Do You Know Where Good Ideas Comes From?

“I am done. I can’t take it anymore. I badly need a break!” I told my husband. “When I was boarding a crowded local train at 6:30pm, cramped at the door, literally fighting to get inside and guess what… ‘I got an idea’. When I was making roties for tiffin, I got my idea. When I was doing weekly grocery shopping in a crowded supermarket, I got an idea.

You know what; I am so full of ideas (really?).” I continued, “The only thing I need is some peace & a break from this noisy & crowded schedule. I will be able to think about many new things & work more efficiently. I need a break” I demanded. My husband is very cooperative. He agreed. We planned it. And I was off on a three day outing in a peaceful and serene natural environment. They say good ideas come early in the morning. So I got up at 4 am. I was feeling fresh & charged. I took out my new notebo...

You Must Eat that Sh*t Sandwich !

It was a wonderful afternoon. “I am done! It was too much! “, My friend almost shouted. She just had conducted her fabulous workshop which I attended. And now we were out for lunch, in one of my favourite restaurants. We had already finished our first round of appetizers. Let me tell you something, When she said, “I am done”, she was not referring food. Because very soon we ordered our second round of appetizers & started checking for our main course. Yes, we already planned desserts too. :-) She continued, “It’s happening with me again & again & again”. “I had done a lot of research, conducted surveys, shared loads of free information, and prepared this wonderful workshop. There were more than 30 of them who already said, “I am in”. But no one came today!” “And do you know how many turned up? Six just Six…ha” She was so frustrated that she forgot that I was among those six. We two left our corporate job nearly at the same time to start our individual businesses. I starte...
