			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Boarding the bus was very uncertain until the last moment for folling reasons;</p>
<ul>
<li>Was feeling drowsy because of Dolo650&#8230;</li>
<li>My father was late and he was unable to drop me&#8230;</li>
<li>There was an unexpected family issue (thanks to my mom for handling it all alone)&#8230;</li>
</ul>
<p>I was not interested to travel to Madurai that day&#8230; But I didn&#8217;t want my laziness to beat my spirit and I started packing my bags 45 min before the departure of the bus&#8230; Boarded an auto 25 Min before the departure of the bus&#8230; Reached Bus Depot 5 min before departure &amp; after getting my boarding pass immediately the bus reached the boarding point&#8230;</p>
<p>It was a big gamble because I decided to continue with my travel 45 min before departure and if there was any slight delay in any of my task means I&#8217;d have missed the bus&#8230;</p>
<p>But my real irony started on the bus because there was an old man who had disgusting looks &amp; was stinking badly&#8230; Also I was not able to position myself properly on the seat&#8230; Within minutes this guy started snoring and that made things worst for me&#8230;</p>
<p>But everything happens for a reason &amp; my consumption of Dolo650 for last 3 days made me drowsy and I slept and only got up at Madurai&#8230; If I was not sedated that day it would have become too hard for me&#8230;</p>
<p>Finally reached Madurai Safely &amp; am back with a bang for the Tight Schedule&#8230;</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Arial;"><span style="font-size: small;">Yesterday I met an acquaintance who happens to be common friend of couple of my friendsâ€¦ He has learned about lot of my bad side of mine thru my friends and he was talking to me telling that his friends had a Crazy bad guy as a friend and when I told him Iâ€™m that crazy bad guy, I got embarrassed and I was enjoying his facial reactions <img src='http://www.anandnataraj.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> â€¦ Then I thought I can think of embarrassment Iâ€™d over come till dateâ€¦</span></span></p>

<li class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; tab-stops: list .5in; mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1;"><span style="font-family: Arial;"><span style="font-size: small;">When I was mimicking a faculty while he was standing behind meâ€¦ The way he handled the situation embarrassed me furtherâ€¦</span></span></li>
<li class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; tab-stops: list .5in; mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1;"><span style="font-family: Arial;"><span style="font-size: small;">Myself and Aravind went to a expensive restaurant and had milkshake and we got a bill of $2 or something, but we had only $1â€¦ Aravind faced the situation but still that was an embarrassing momentâ€¦</span></span></li>
<li class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; tab-stops: list .5in; mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1;"><span style="font-family: Arial;"><span style="font-size: small;">When I lied a client telling I was not feeling well and didnâ€™t come onlineâ€¦ He said he was following me on twitter and he knew what all I updatedâ€¦ Iâ€™m happy that people are following me and also embarrassedâ€¦</span></span></li>
<li class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; tab-stops: list .5in; mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1;"><span style="font-family: Arial;"><span style="font-size: small;">As a child I use to quarrel with my sister for window seat and she will give it up for meâ€¦ </span></span></li>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Arial;"><span style="font-size: small;">There are more moments and these are the ones I remember immediatelyâ€¦ If you have any moment of embarrassment please post it as commentâ€¦ So, the we can know how we got embarrassed and see how we can overcome these situation in futureâ€¦</span></span></p>
