What's Love?

From the mouth of babes!!

Little kids can be so insightful when it comes to defining things. Here's a look of what they think Love is...

• Love is that first feeling you feel before all the bad stuff gets in the way

• Love is when someone hurts you.. And you get so mad but you don't yell at him because you know it would hurt his feelings

• When you tell someone something bad about yourself and you're scared she won't love you anymore. But then you get surprised because not only does she still love you, she loves you even more

• Love is-if you hold hands and sit beside each other in the cafeteria. That means you're in love. Otherwise, you can sit across from each other and be okay

• Love is when mommy gives daddy the best piece of chicken

• Love is when mommy sees daddy smelly and sweaty and still says he is handsomer than Robert Redford

• Love is when your puppy licks your face even after you left him alone all day

• When you're born and see your mommy for the first time

• Love is what makes people hide in the dark corners of movie theaters.

• Love goes on even when you stop breathing and you pick up where you left off when you reach heaven

• You have to fall in love before you get married. Then when you're married, you just sit around and read books together

• I let my big sister pick on me because my Mom says she only picks on me because she loves me. So I pick on my baby sister because I love her

• When you love somebody, your eyelashes go up and down and little stars come out of you

• Love is when you kiss all the time. Then when you get tired of kissing, you still want to be together and you talk more. My mommy and daddy are like that. They look gross when they kiss but they look happy and sometimes they dance in the kitchen while kissing

• Love is when a girl puts on perfume and a boy puts on shaving cologne and they go out and smell each other.

The one that really touched me was :

Love is when you tell a guy you like his shirt, then he wears it everyday

It reminded me (though I don't need reminding) of a friend who used to do this all the time while in College (Uni.). We are still in touch and are actually planning a reunion for later this year (one of my resolutions).

Too Hot?

I spent yesterday in Lautoka... Not at home but at the Lautoka Office which houses the Finance and Logistics. Not only did I forego the 3 hour drive but I also managed to go home for wee bite to eat.

And truth be told yesterday was maybe one of the hottest days that I have encountered. The last time was the summer in India. It was scorching hot. I was so very tempted to fry an egg on the bonnet. Just as an experiment you see. But then I thought of all the damage that was going to inflict and not to mention the wrath of my dad should he realize what I was contemplating..(forget about even attempting it).. After visualizing these I decided that no experiment is worth it!! Also I didn't have any eggs near by :)

In Yaqara I don't generally feel the heat. Mainly coz that there is a lot of foliage which goes a long way to lower the temperature. So you can imagine my state when within 5 minutes of my leaving home I was dying to crawl back into an air-con office... I had literally wilted!!! And that too in such a short time. Wonder if its coz I'm de-hydrated. Now that would be the laughs - I work in the water industry : ) So this can never be an excuse.

The heat however did not seem to affect anyone else. Everyone was out on the roads waiting to catch a bus or a cab, the town was busy as anything and everyone seemed to be enjoying themselves. Of late, 3 months to be precise, we were plagued by rain. No wonder everyone was cheerful... I on the other hand am longing for cool weather now :( (without the rain)
