Value Add

After very long time, i met a person- who spoke just like me - infact much more focussed than me. I am glad that he voluntarily chose to expend the expensive half an hour of his time- chatting up and catching up with me and sharing his ideology of life. He, who considers life to be very small hence even one moment expended- should add value to you as a person. And its not what other’s consider as a value add but what you feel to be important for you. Thanks for introducing me to the concept of “Business of 21^st Century”..

The Other's Love

How many of us keeping doing things which we want to do? Almost everyone of us...

Have we ever tried to do things – which other’s like and not want us to do- rarely few....

I have personally tried doing things, which others enjoy and believe me- its a visual treat seeing your director enjoy as if the activity was being done by him/her. The gratification that you see in other’s eyes- when they see another person emulating them, copying their gimmicks and enjoying things- which pleases them- is in itself a great air to be around with.

   Plus you as a receiver- get to know lots about the person, explore new facets of life and   also in the meanwhile get exposed to something- which might later on become your       favourite.

Choices

How do you feel when you bump into a person, who has shared some UNimportant space in your life, earlier? The person knows and remembers each and every detail about you and takes the first step to converse with you, years later. And you sit there, as a silent spectator- amazed to believe that YOU don’t even recollect the person’s details and he/she is giving you details about your own life and whereabouts. Is it that you never could make out that you had few more well-wishers or you chose to ignore few people whom you thought as insignificant, in comparison to the others around you- at that point of time.

And then you are left to your own self- reflecting and thinking that-  Is anyone from your CHOSEN one’s category- still around in the same manner? Time to revisit....

Indianism and its current state

I am very disappointed to see Indian’s acknowledgement of their own country. 

Condoning our own culture, tradition, values, festivals and free adoption of ideas of the world- is the common scenario. While the world is enthralled with Indianism and willing to adopt the nuances, we ourselves are shunning the same. What best than understanding the same from a foreigner- who travelled all around the world and chose to leave her own country because the Indian image did not wipe out from her memories. While the foreigner’s actual exposure to the cultural diaspora is limited, but the opinion about the family, the values- presents India in a different stead. 

Are marriages and festivals the only events – which depict Indian culture? What about the small deeds, the warmth in people, the spirit of Indianism? Are we being true to ourselves by letting us being portrayed only from one side? Time to think and transform...

Hadn’t done this for a while. Had been with and around people, who are important part of my life. Had forgotten my own self, who even if planned and organized- always left a room to go the unchartered way. And in the meanwhile, chose to agree that my personal space is limited to my group of friends. As a result – stopped exploring MY CENTRE (as MF calls it to be). And man, the realisation came in recently- when serious health issues helped me rediscover the real me and drove me back to yesters when i had been a free bird- curious about life and activities, wanting to delve deep into unknown, meet un-thought off people at places not known earlier. While choosing routine helps you get disciplined and make the most of what is available- it also ushers in monotony that the pre-planned brings with itself.  It is dynamism- which lights the spark. Time to bounce back and start the unusual.....

Strangers without strangeness

Aint it easier to talk your heart out to strangers- who know nothing about you, have no pre-conceived ideas about you, your behaviour and your actions. Meeting people you don’t know, hearing them say things and open up their private life as if you are a counsellor- the feeling is just great.  And it is truly said and believed- the best you can help a person is with being a Listener. Advising is the secondary part but you are half through the hearts of the person, as a patient listener. All of us need EARS in those times, when we wish to talk about our feelings, emotions, inhibitions, fear etc. And it’s not about having your people around but about someone, who can lend an ear and help us vent. Glad to be able to help people in this way :)
