A Date With Common Sense

Common sense is no longer as common, and don’t be surprise that one may need to make a prior appointment with this elusive sense of knowing.

Imagine this scenario:

Wife asks husband to set the table for some guests arriving for dinner. Husband goes into the kitchen and brings out some mugs. Wife sees them and asks him to replace them with the glasses that are used to serve guests. Husband doesn’t see the differnce between the mugs he brings out versus what can be used to serve guests. What she means is simple – bring out the water goblets, not mugs. 

Mila’s Wisdom

Mila says:

If Mummy says “No”, call 1800-GRANDMA!

So, who actually is Mila?

This is she!

Well, it is really, really hard for Grandma to say no to Mila, right? She will have her way around Grandma, or in Mila’s own words, “Por Por”. :)

Our stories are singular, our destiny is shared.

                            ~ Barrack Obama, US president-elect 2008

Why does this particular sentence hit me out of the entire acceptance speech Mr. Barack Obama, US President-Elect in 2008 gave at Chicago, minutes after he was confirmed his place at the White House?

I’m not kidding. When I first heard of this, it just jumped out at me. How one destiny is shared among billions of people in the world, each with a story of their own to tell. Maybe that sounds too large-scale, but we can always shrink it down into our own perspective, and see how our lives are co-related with each other, can’t we?
