Nothing has Changed

The best days of a life is I guess less than 5years in case of the female population, atleast in the society that I am living in. Have everything really changed in this fast running world? I think not, its only the comfort and luxury that is increasing and along with it complexities. We no longer live a simple life. Once the girl reaches anywhere closer to her puberty, all she is told is – you got to learn this / learn that only then can you lead a successful marital life. What is taught here – how to behave in society ( in my terms behave in a society of narrow minded set of people, else we need not be taught you see), how to cook, how to manage our traditions (well most of these are to change along with changing times except for a few which are something I believe in) blah.. blah.. blahh – else the parents will be blamed for how the girl is behaved. Why will they be blamed? I keep asking myself till a day came for me to realize – girls are not expected to have brains, and never shou...

Terrace my wonderland

Terrace is a place I always prefer, next to the beach. One of the reason its right where we live and its peaceful at nights. The starry and breezy nights are awesome to spend time, the time I used to spend to talk to myself. Silence used to bring so much of mental strength and a path to various achievements in my life. I have always asked myself questions – why are we on this planet? What is expected out of this life of mine? And many more on these lines. Trying to figure answers to these from within I just used to never get excited for things that many of the souls around me do. It could be a birthday – never ever had I had a enthusiasm to the heights that people around me have. How I wish I could find that place someday again to bring my running mind to a calm state and to think of what next in life. Disassociate the ME from ME to think straight. When I don’t spend time for myself I don’t feel I am connected to the ultimate supreme.

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. ...

Connection

Connectivity is the ‘in thing’ today. Telephony and a wide reach of contacts is through forms of connectivity and I guess its flourishing thanks to the feminine gender of our race. The lady talks more than a guy and i feel its true. Could it be true to the findings that women have more word triggering cells on the brain than men? May be. So, if you need to connect with any lady in your life – all you need to do is TALK. Talk and express your views and plans or anything – just talk and they will know you care.

Resolution

How many of them do we take in a year? How many do we ensure to sustain with, and how many do we actually follow? Every change we want to be, is interdependent as we are not independent on our own in many walks of life. Still there are few that is person dependent which can be followed. Think deep inside you on your personal change you want to be and I am sure you can. Wishing you happy new year 2011.

Culture to nurture

Every striving moment Every visionary movement Every walk and every talk Every breath to one single path Every action dared felt pain of cry Every faith that led the way Every communication in air of sway Every heart sang the joy Every Independent Indian to learn Every step taken together Every failure faced together Every course to reach the goal that was changed Every idea that was executed Every year on Independence Day Every religion and language together they say We are here today for leading the young to see a leading India.

36 ways to lead a happy and healthy life

I just received a wonderful email today. Thought of sharing it here and to re-read it when ever possible to keep these points refreshed in our minds. 1. Pray (have faith) 2. Go to bed on time. 3. Get up on time so you can start the day unrushed. 4. Say No to projects that won't fit into your time schedule, or that will compromise your mental health. 5. Delegate tasks to capable others. 6. Simplify and unclutter your life. 7. Less is more. (Although one is often not enough, two are often too many.) 8. Allow extra time to do things and to get to places. 9. Pace yourself. Spread out big changes and difficult projects over time; don't lump the hard things all together. 10. Take one day at a time. 11. Separate worries from concerns . If a situation is a concern, find out what God would have you do and let go of the anxiety . If you can't do anything about a situation, forget it. 12. Live within your budget; don't use credit cards for ordinary purchases. 13. Have backups; an ...
