The PAUSitive Sketch


She was busy at work.

He had finally agreed to her.

They had decided on this arrangement for long…actually a decade ago, when they were in College & had watched the Titanic movie together.

That they would enact that scene…

Today was that day…

He was sitting as the model.

She was busy sketching him.

He: “Is it done? How much more time?”

She: “Yes, almost! All good things need time & patience! Wait!”

The Most PAUSitive Person-III

This Post is more about my Papa- the most POSITIVE Person I know. 

I discussed how he likes and upholds the clean-shaven look in my Post- The Most PAUSitive Person-I.

I also discussed the only time when he is forced to have the stubble in my Post- The Most PAUSitive Person-II

Now, over to something what both Papa & I love- Movies! 

My Papa is a HUGE Hindi-film fan. That explains how I have inherited my love for Cinema- through his genes & DNA!

My Papa’s favorite movie-stars are- Dilip Kumar, Dev Anand & Amitabh Bachchan. All of them are clean-shaven in most movies! 

Even I am their fan! 
Dilip Kumar
Dev Anand
Amitabh Bachchan

The Most PAUSitive Person-II



This Post is more about my Papa- the most POSITIVE Person I know. I discussed how he likes and upholds the clean-shaven look in my Post- The Most PAUSitive Person-I

Ever since I was small, I have always seen Papa and all my uncles clean-shaven.

As both my Paternal & Maternal sides of my family are pretty large, there are many members. All males are clean-shaven!

The only time when I have seen the male-family-members with stubble is when there is a death in the family.

As per our custom, we do not have to cut anything- no hair, nails etc during the mourning period of 10 days.

Ever since I know, I always hate a death… 

The Most PAUSitive Person-I


I have been in love with him,
Ever since I set foot on Earth!
He’s the best; no one is like him,
He’s gifted me life…my birth…

He has been my horse & elephant,
Taken me on rides & drives galore,
He has gifted me all that I want…
Told stories, taught Maths & done more…

The ‘He’ in my life is Papa- my father!
Though I’m now his son-in-law’s wife,
He’s still my Knight-in-Shining-Armor,
A POSITIVE & integral part of my Life!

Papa-&-I
My Papa & I

My Papa is a professional Chartered Accountant (CA), who has his own firm and branches in many cities. He is a frequent-flier who’s often travelling for work. 
 
My Papa is much in demand with the local News-Channels for his views & for giving Budget talks all over India.

When my Papa was studying CA, he was offered a role as the hero of an Odia film! 

His clean shaven look bowled the Director over!

Of course, my Papa refused as he wanted to be a CA- Chartered Accountant & not a CA- Cinema Actor (He quotes this in his much-popular & awaited talks!) ! He was amongst the toppers of the CA Exams!

When my Papa went to see my Mom for the first time, his clean shaven look bowled her over!

They were married & I was born. His clean shaven look bowled me over!

My Papa has always been clean-shaven. He makes it a point to shave every day and be ‘presentable’. 

He encourages his staff to be clean-shaven too.

Once, a new-joinee had come to his office with a stubble.

Papa: “I hate that unclean stubble. Why haven’t you shaved?”

Junior: “Sir, I had no time to shave…” 

Papa: “That's no excuse! Shaving doesn’t take much time! I do it every day within 2-minutes. Shall I teach you how to do 2-minutes-shaving*?”

The Junior apologized!

Everyone in his office follows my Papa’s 2-minutes-shaving-mandatory rule!

My Papa ROCKS!!!

*2-minutes-shaving- 2-minutes is not just for making Maggi noodles! Papa has been doing this successfully for many decades now!


This post is a part of an activity.

This is my Thirteenth Post for P.A.U.S. 
I was tagged by Priyanka in her Post HERE.

PAUSitive Reunion


In a village, there lived two pretty twin sisters named Anju & Manju.

When it was time for them to be married, their marriage was fixed with Karan & Arjun.



Manju was the smarter sister of the two and had settled for a love-marriage with Arjun.
His clean shaven look had bowled her over!

Anju’s marriage was “arranged” with Karan, who had just shifted from the city.

Strangely, though Anju & Karan had never met, yet their marriage was fixed as their horoscopes had matched!

On the day of the marriage, there was the Haldi^-ceremony in which the Bride & the Groom had to apply Haldi that was sent from one another’s homes. 

That’s when Anju came to know that Karan had a stubble.

She was very upset. She said, “I hate that unclean stubble.*”

ABCD Of PAUS


It was the last weekend of 2013.

The friends had planned a Pajama Party.

Everyone was really excited especially Sameer as he planned to propose to Sriya in the party. 

Sriya was pretty and resembled a bit to Nicole Faria (who plays ‘Jia’, the heroine of the 2014 Hindi-movie, Yaariyan).

When Sameer confided his plans to propose to Sriya, his best-friend said, “Don’t even try, Sameer! I know Sriya likes clean-shaven men! I had overheard her saying, ‘I hate that unclean stubble*’ when Professor Verma had come unshaven to class!"

PAUSitive Choice!


Once upon a time when there were Kings & Queens, there was a Princess named Roopwati. She was very beautiful. 

When it was time for Roopwati to get married, her parents fixed up a Swayamvar* for her. 

Many eligible young Princes had gathered.

Roopwati was secretly observing them from her hiding-place.

Prince Om caught her eye at first sight.

His clean shaven look bowled her over!
Roopwati had set a screening challenge for them. Whoever cleared the initial ‘test’ would proceed to the next round that was the actual Swayamvar.

Her father, the King, was apprehensive if anyone could clear the tough test set by his daughter.

Roopwati found herself praying that may Prince Om qualify!

Great To Play Santa To My Child!

It's great that I get to play Santa to my daughter.
Some gifts that I want to gift to secure her future...


Gift Box


For my Child's Secure Future I'd like to gift her:


TIME 
The greatest gift that anyone can give a loved one is one’s own Time. Time is a precious resource that we get to ‘spend’. My Gift for my child is my Time. I want to spend more Quality-Time with my child. Also, I want her to use her Time wisely.
I want to gift my child the sense to honor the value of Time for her secure future.

DISCIPLINE
Performing any work as per optimum level, including spending time, requires Discipline. I want to gift cartloads of Discipline to my child that will ensure sincerity, efficiency, planning, meticulousness, good habits, stellar performances...
I want to gift my child Discipline that’ll help to secure her future.

FREEDOM



I want to gift Freedom to my child to exercise her own choice & to listen to her own inner voice. My child must feel free to choose and also share with me what she feels… The freedom to score lesser marks, to sleep a little extra, to sing at the top of her voice, the skill to debate about anything under the sun with anyone (including me)…
I want to gift my child Freedom so that her future is secure.

AMBITION
Without a goal or aim, life is like a rudderless ship. My Mom advised- ‘Simple Living, High Thinking’. Like my Mom did, even I have shared with my child the stories of Ekalavya & Arjuna, who had only the targets in sight. Once my child knows what she wants, she’ll be motivated & will persevere to achieve it. I would like my child to get what she likes, rather than like what she gets.
I want to gift my child Ambition for her secure future.

HOPE/PATIENCE
With Hope & Patience, my child will learn to wait and watch with a positive attitude. May Hope/Patience forever be with her.
I want to gift my child Hope/Patience for her secure future.
