life really is short..

i know the topic itself is boring as you and I have heard this zillion times....so i thought how much this one more time would matter...
Was in a training sessions a few days back and the training on career management. The trainer was definitely a superb guy who knew how to sell the concept and during the session, just one statement from him made me get into my ever thinking mode. He asked each one of us that do we really love what we are doing right now...if given a chance, would we choose something else to work on, somewhere else to work...i know this crazy but sensible (read i am just being sarcastic) thought crosses each one of our's mind sometime or the other and we get into this thought process of quitting it all and doing what we really like...but then...boom...reality strikes and we get back to our sanity.
But if we really come to think of it, then life really is too precious to be wasted for something which would probably make us question ourselves if not today but may be 20 years down the line (i can't think beyond 20 right now)...
Leave aside even work for that matter, there are so many other things in our lives for which we wait and wait for the right moment. For instance, may be just saying something to others; like appreciating someone for a great job done or telling our siblings or friends that we love them. We feel like that we aren't supposed to say this as they already know it or we would say it the next time we meet. But what if there is no next time, because as I said...life is short.
So, don't wait for life to give you signals, turn the light green yourself and go ahead with what you want to do or say or feel. We all know that life doesn't wait for anyone but yet we think we are special and it should wait for us...who are we fooling!
All I would say is...do what you like, express whatever and whenever you feel, live however you want to...because it doesn't matter what others would think...remember that they won't come to wipe your tears away when you are sulking in your room (or which is terrace for me), just live how you would want to live.

Hope it made some sense to you...it definitely made some to me at least...

is it good to be emotional???

I guess this question would have and would still be haunting millions around the globe...is it good to be emotionally vulnerable???

Like everything else, this too has two sides to its coin...if you are emotional about things (people) around you, i feel it's great but majority of the existing human race thinks it's crazy. I mean you are not their baby that they would make you feel at ease and give an ear to you to listen to your sad story (it's sad mostly..right)....pleaseee..they too have 2000 problems to deal with...

Infact, almost 90% of them would be glad that you too have problems and infact their wicked smile will let you know that too. And yes offcourse they wold certainly try to take advantage (i haven't written undue advantage) of your emotionally weak heart, mind and body...and you being a fool, would give away to that.

On the other hand, if you aren't emotional to others (come on...who are you kidding...we all are emotional...even that CEO of yours too...), you would be considered as a cold animal who has this "devil may care attitude". I don't know whether you should feel good about it or may think should I become a little emotional. It too has a downside. I mean you can't show your emotions, which get caught inside your body along with all the blood and other organs in there. So obviously your body can't take it for long, and there comes a strong outburst one day...either on a subordinate, your colleague, or even that poor gaurd or your house maid.

But still, I don't know if one should be visibly emotional to the world...I haven't figured it out despite loads of signs and results shown by the Almighty...(yup i am still learning)...

As always, I would leave with this thought which offcourse if a copy paste...

"The world ends when you are dead. Until then, you got more punishment in store. Stand it like a man and give some back."

confusing Friday!!!

OMG!!!! that's what my expression is when my fridays are confusing...and yup today was one such friday..
started the day pretty early (6AM...oh man..i don't even remember waking up so early in the last 4 months). Had a workshop for a client on an interesting topic on leadership development...was a great learning experience and the facilitator was a great company...i won't forgot the number of cokes (in his case diet coke) we gulped down...all thanks to him. All this when i wasn't in the pink of health and was gulping down pills too.

Was excited as i was suppose to meet a good friend and had thought of this meeting since 5 days as something very important was on my mind....but just because i replied back 20 minutes later to his text, he had already made new plans despite knowing how badly i wanted to see him and discuss something.

Yup...felt bad and did send some nasty and sarcastic messages but all in vain. Got big time confused whether to get upset and spoil my friday evening or let it be...but you know how crazy some people are (read...i am one of these people)...i made dinner plans with my buddy (my bhai) and thought i would not let that bother me..but it did bother a bit...

Trying to follow one of my all time fav statements of "Life is as complicated and as simple, as we make it". But realised it yet again that it surely ain't easier to follow that...i had thought of writing something meaningful today but my mood and health is just not preparing the mood for that...hence this crap...haha...

Beauty of life

Hey guys!

Okay...so no welcome...that's fine...noone seems to acknowledge me these days...haha...so not true...infact my new glasses are the water cooler discussions these days...that was too much..right!

Was talking to a friend few days when i surely wasn't in the best of my moods and was all low about lot of things in life...cribbing and complaining about life was all i remember that i did that day...but just one line from him made me smile and helped me to pull myself together..."The beauty of life is that it's so complicated"...such a simple sentence but it was like a magic spell for me that day...

But really, would we have really valued life and the small instances that make us smile, if such crazy days would not have been part of lives...

Meeting him tomorrow again and hope to have more of such conversations...cos you what...i can talk such stuff anytime with a coffee and anyone beside me...

Goodnight for tonite...

This world was never meant for someone as beautiful as u....starry starry night..

Welcome me guys!

Hey people!

Finally...after months of thinking that today i would start writing my blog...here I am today...finally writing it....I would thank my not so great mood today which has forced me to do something new to cheer my up!

So welcome me people and I promise to write a lot and would try to be meaningful in my blogs (please excuse my stupid thoughts sometimes)...

As of now, I would just leave you with the thought that "Life is as complicate and simple as we make it". Wow! Easier said but definitely not easy to implement....:):):)
