Do you maintain a dairy or a private blog where you note your daily routine and.

Hi deepak, thanks a lot for sharing your thoughts I think I too have heard about this site Live Journal, though I haven't tried it out. That seems a good idea.The other day one of my friends had an experience which actually saved her from losing money. She and her family had been living in rented apartment for which they had given Rs 50,000 as advance and later the owner asked for Rs 10,000 since he was renovating and also making some necessary additions. They had been living in that house for nearly 6 years and a few months ago they moved to their own house. The owner gave Rs 50,000 back and he had completely forgotten about the other 10,000 for which my friend too had forgotten to take a receipt.The owner was not a bad person, just that he just didn't remember!. Finally he said that if they had any proof , he would give the money. My friend has the habit of writing down every detail about her routine in her dairy. Now since this had happened 4 years ago she had to dig up all her old dairies and thankfully she found the page on which she had made a mention of the money given and the owner gave back the money when he read it since it was so old and one could see that it was a fact...

Hi Kiran! I agree with you that written records are always helpeful and what your friend did or used did, eventually helped her recover her money. I also maintain my expense dairy on regular basis and it helps a lot to analyse your trend of expenditure and where we can curtail it.

What you say is right Kiran.I too read what you had written earlier to Deepak.It is always good to jot down important things. I do it with regard to passwords and important transactions but I would like to be more systematic about it. It is indeed a good habit.

Not really kala, I have given an example above on Deepaks post as to how an account in a dairy helped a friend of mine. In fact , she was amazed at it.My memory has never been that good but there are things that I remember to this day and certain things I forget the very next day, and it makes some people so mad !I dont blame them though...Thats why I feel that it might be better to start writing and maintaining a dairy. In films a dairy is a very helpful weapon in so many ways...lol...

Same here kala I too am not systematic !...I wish I could be consistent where recording the daily expenses are concerned. I note down the major expenditures but not my daily expenses..

hi Kiran madam, thanks for the response,regarding changing of your avatar ,you have every right to change your avatar,but for me i will be continue with the same avatar here and for all sites,where i am working online,i wish to have a recognition with my yugasini avatar, have a nice day

hi kiran madam, thanks for the response, i do not know why you are changing your avatars, is there any another kiran in this site ,some confution to me and you are also changing your avatars so recognizing real kiran madam is difficult to me,i like your plant with white flower,have a nice day

Hi sridhar, As to your question - whenever I feel like a change I do so, and why not? I am not sure if there is another kiran here, and even if there was another kiran it wouldnt make any difference to my changing avatar when I feel like . However, there is no rule against changing your avatar. Thanks a lot for appreciating the flower plant and have a nice weekend

I really dont know if you need to change your email id....I am not a follower of Sai Baba, in fact I am not religious at all. However, I have visited his ashram in Whitefield close to Bangalore also visited Puttaparthy with my mother in law who was a great devotee.I have to admit that he has done a lot for the poor people and also for the society in general...

OK I will start blog. Am I change my email ID. Are follower of Satya Sai Baba

Lol! I didn't notice that until you pointed it out. Hahaha =P

I wish we could edit our spelling mistakes which is one feature I would love to have had here on mylot

Hi surekha, thanks a lot for your response your suggestion is very good and as you say it does help one complete all the jobs that needs to be done.In my case I make a list each morning as to what jobs I have for the day and also make a route map so that I am able to go from point A to point B without wasting time and fuel - all the best and happy mylotting

You are most welcome surekha and thanks once again for sharing your views here - all the best and enjoy your evening

Yes this is my point friend and I also do this make a list of work which is in same route so we can save the time thanks

Hi carol, That sounds interesting and I am sure it is very useful to all those who have similar interest and share the same hobby...A blog can be a fun place where a group of like minded individuals can share their thoughts and discuss ...all the best and thanks for sharing your thoughts

Hi ip, thanks a lot for your response. We all have different reasons for maintaining a blog or a diary. Some do it for personal reasons and some others blog on other topics that interest them - either way what is important is that it becomes a record or document and as you rightly say you have the advantage of looking back and going through it at a later date - all the best and happy mylotting

Hi, Each person's life is what he/she makes of it and is interesting in its own way because there are no identical individuals or identical life styles anywhere in the world.I am sure if you take an interest in yourself others automatically will do so, that has been my experience...all the best and happy mylotting

Hi rina, I feel that writing a dairy does help you lighten he burden that you are carrying within yourself, and when you look back after many months or years and go through the account it only seems like something that happened to someone else because after you go through an experience however bad or good it is, it becomes more like a dreamy experience and does not have the same effect on us.All the best and happy mylotting

Hi brit,thanks a lot for sharing your views It is good that you are posting regularly on your blog. I have seen that most people including myself tend to lose interest after the initial excitement of starting a blog, changing its appearance a few times and also posting on our favorite topics....I guess the same thing happens with a dairy, not many are consistent !all the best and happy mylotting

Hi, What you say is right, blogging or keeping a diary is a way of letting off steam , it does help us ! I too have realised that when I sit and write out my feelings I feel much better and am able to handle things in a more practical manner - thanks a lot for sharing your views and all the best for the coming week

Hi soccerbai,It doesnt matter if you are not regular, but preserve whatever you have written because when you go through it years later it does give you a lot of happiness. I found one of my old dairies written when I was in college which has everything in it like recipes, song lyrics and some jottings about friends and also notes we would write and pass inside the class. I was so happy to read it and relive those days...

Hi kalyani madame, It is really nice to know that professor maintains a dairy and that too so consistently .It is a good habit, shows a disciplined mind.I too do the same as regards house hold expenditure, but as I posted elsewhere earlier, do it only when there are major expenditure involved...thanks a lot for sharing and happy mylotting

Hi moirai, my dairy too is somewhat similar since I am not regular at making entries.The same case with my blog, when I feel like I post something....I too would write all private thoughts in my dairy and not on my blog lolthanks a lot for sharing your thoughts, all the best
