2007, What is new about it?


Where-ever I go, whom-ever I meet; the question that pops up is – “Hey! What are you doing for new year?” or “What’s plan for new years eve?”

A decade ago New Year was welcome in all parts of the globe just as a New Year; start of a new series of days, weeks, months of a calendar. Today it is more of a celebration time at the arrival of a New Year. There is countdown and celebration for the arrival of New Year with dance, music, eat-out … masti.

The general tendency is to take up resolutions on a New Year. There are many of us who do not disclose our resolutions with others – “Aren’t resolutions made to be broken?” Resolutions are made to mould ones character to the better by reflecting about himself/herself. I still wonder why this linked to New Year, or better still why wait till New Year.

Now, let us stop for a few seconds from our fast running life and give some thought to this. Let not 1st Jan be any other day of just a wish away, a resolution day….a new calendar day but remember;

New Year leads to new months in the year,

New month gives birth to new weeks,

New week trickles down to new days, new hours..

Enjoy and celebrate everyday of your life this year and ever year to come. If you are reading this you sure are blessed in life. Wish you the best of happiness in each NEW second of your life.

When life becomes transactional

Image
Next moment has always been unpredictable, unfortunately till we foresee a physical demise in front of our own eyes particularly a loved one, understanding this concept is generally tough. Having said about unpredictability, today in #covid situation faced all over the world, we all are aware of the fact more clearly; what is the true meaning of unpredictability. However, I could not stop myself today but to pen this down about life turned transactional. What is the true dictionary meaning of transactional? Means a give and take or take and give. Eg, mostly it was referred only for financial reasons since you pay for a product or service and that's called a transaction. But why I am I saying life itself has become transactional? Are we buying and selling amongst our own kith and kin? The non cash transactions are flooded,  You greet me I will greet you You smile at me I will smile at you You hit me I will hit you back You gifted me so I have to gift you back You fed me so I have to

Mentor

At every stage of our life we have a mentor and as humans we seek out to one. There is no age factor and all one needs to be qualified with is experience or the relevant knowledge for the same. I am proud to say that my younger sister has also been one, but it’s when she always tells me about my spellings and the uncanny communication I recollect one such mentor of my life. There were many challenges I faced at work place – one was; my superiors been compared with a shop floor entrant (me) by my super seniors, that I am sure hits their ego. She called me one day on one of the emails I had circulated to a small group internally, asked me to tell her the reason why I wrote such an email. She patiently listened to it completely and asked me to read the email loudly right on her desk that I had sent. I found that funny and at the same time curious why she wanted me to do it. On reading it I realized that what I intended did not come out on that email as clearly the way I explained to her.

Sleep Cricket… Dream Cricket…. Eat Cricket….. Breathe Cricket……………………

Little do I know about cricket. But hey! Wait, here is my cousin who dreams, sleeps, talks, walks and breathes cricket. It is just not a dream but a dream come true. No dream is a success or achievement till there is hard work and dedication. Behind any success or achievement there is a whole lot of hard work, self-driven PASSION towards achieving the goal, BOOST and MOTIVATION at every moment. This is where the key role of parents and supporters come into picture. As for my cousin, his mom (Chitra), dad (Ravichandran) and grandpa (Narayanaswami) have, and are continuing to give their full support to him since his age eight to be a self-made and successful cricket player. Cousin R Ashwin and Indian Cricketer Dhoni just a pose after a practice session. When a child starts to walk, initially he will tumble and fumble and get injured. Initial days of practice Ashwin had a slight injury in the pelvic, as per doctor’s advice had taken a break for a year or two
