My friends and I

I did mention the idea of writing a blog to express my feelings and maintain sort of a personal diary to my friends and they all were very welcoming to the idea. In fact only then did I get to know that they were already writing blogs for the last few years. In fact a lot of people earn money online only by blogging

I am not sure how this thing I never perhaps because computer was only meant to be a place where you will always go to check emails or when you really wanted to buy something online. It was never a place to pen down your thoughts and let alone to maintain a personal diary.

There are several places where you can actually write a diary and the best one is the blogspot blogs and I love the way they work.
Though I should not be saying anything about other blogs because I have never worked on them.

My friends at office have definitely noticed this and they now ask me what I am doing with the computer nowadays and I almost wanted to say blogging but at workplace is against the ethics though this thing is so addictive that you will almost certainly want to do blogging as frequently as possible.

Thanks to Peter, Richard, Susan and Ramesh for being supportive and understanding and giving me the courage to write about something anything and everything

Valentine's Day Is Approaching

Yes I am amazed that I am writing about valentine's day as this will not be easy for me to write as I have never thought giving a title to my feeling. But the truth is that I have always been conscious of the way I approach the valentine's day.

Valentine's day is celebrated I believe all across the world and thanks to St. Valentine this has been the best way to express your love to someone you are close to. This is the best day to say I love u

Looking at everyone is an amazing site with red being the color of the day. I have seen pink also rearing its head and everyone making plans of a romantic dinner or a romantic getaway.
The there is of course the gift which has to be there and the valentines day flowers.
Nowadays the best thing is to order online else you are will be scrambling from the office just to find something on the way home. Last minute valentines day gifts can never rise to the occasion.

The regular gifts that you give are there are plenty and ask me that effort which goes on to find a good place to have dinner on valentine's day as well getting a good gift. You can try to find some good place where they can suggest a novel gift idea for the valentine's to impress your valentines day. personally I like the Gift Baskets the most

Everyone in the office is hunched over the computer and trying to make sure that the gift reached in time and also is unique.

I am sure I am the only one who does not fret about the valentines day because I usually do not think about what if at all can be repetitive . I generally save enough money so that you can have a good gift which generally means that you go to an expensive shop like Swaroski and buy a nice piece of crystal or get a nice diamond piece.

My wife though has never suggested that she will want something else and that I am amazed at her patience and the way she handles herself. So this time I am going to get her something absolutely wonderful and will definitely will be accompanied by those three words which I have never expressed in a verbal manner and those are 'I Love You' wifey.

Never think but blurt it out

The more i thought I will write here the thinking has even vanished and that tells my depth of newly acquired skill of writing.
However the thing which has till now gave me strength are a few blogs that I have read which have had made sense to me and those are the special blogs where people just keep on writing and have grown to become super writers.

Of course the best one which I like is the Chris Pearson copyblogger which definitely shows his love and passion for writing and it also shows his immense talent. Good well done.
Coming from a mechanical bent of mind and being an engineer I could never fathom about the non engineering things especially very very subjective things like flair for writing, the artsy type folks and the way people can use paint brush to express themselves.
This again started a chain of thoughts and I am sure that all this will lead to me being a very changed person.

Ouch ouch -- I did not know that there are break up songs being written by people but I break ups do happen and it hurts. Well I hope i never need them ..

In fact to tell you the truth I am amzaed at myself for writing all these long posts for just about nothing and that too with very little framework to boot.

In stark contrast to my methodical way of life as well as job where the only thing you are sure of is that there will well defined measurements and metrics all around. Will you get a chance for creativity and I would say unless ofcourse making the header of the excel sheet a little bit better and fill that top header with colors. To tell you the truth I am ashamed at what I did and hopefully will never do that again.

I am now reading about 10 blog posts a day and those are all in my reader and I will share those with everyone including my wife.

Just if you are wondering why this title called the I love my wifey and I would say that I call her Wifey, I think in a cute way but she may have her own opnion about that . She never resisted the term.

The only think I can say is that she has been the most wonderful human being that I have met not because she is my wife but because she has been able to understand me alongwith my expressionless way of loving her. Yes that is the truth being blurted out here that I have never probably only in our brief courtship period said to her that I love you and will want to marry you.

After all these twelve years and several valentine's day and ten anniversaries I am yet to express my love to her in a manner which you see in movies.
We did go to movies together and held hands and had good candle light dinners but never said I love to her.

But a woman needs to hear that she is loved and that has to come out from a man's mouth and not some stupid card and some flowers.

A good title to begin with

When I was introduced to writing by who else than my wife that I started wondering what to write as I am not a writer and that too I am not a person to express myself. It is totally against my grains so to speak !

I am just going to write everything oin general about the world around me which is in recession nowadays and especially I will dedicate this blog to my wife.

I have taken this blog design out a blogger design blog by Lena . Thanks Lena.

The reason I chose this blog was that it says in her blog that it is a masculine layout as well as that it represents a big pencil in hand . Writing what else by a man. It fits perfectly with what I am (afraid of writing) and expressing and of course now with everything else I am ready to rock an roll sorry write and roll .
As far as my family goes my wife Jenna is a superb human being, a person without whom it would be unthinkable to have meaningful life leave alone a blog and also that it means a lot to me that she is the one who has been that pillar of strength to me .

I have given all sorts of birthday cards and stuff to her but this I think will be a real gift to her.

My kids three year old Robert and two year old Albert are those joys in life that are simply without words. No No I will try to put that in words and the words that come to my mind are the two bundles of joys.
Hopefully the next post I will find a topic relevant to my blog title and the name that I love you wifey.
