what is the meaning of growing numbers.....

It is not how old you are, but how you are old. -Jules Renard, writer (1864-1910)

When I don't write.................

Whatever philosophies people offer you or you offer to yourself for your life path, nothing changes the fact that it is all about your decisions. It is as simple as that. Nothing is free and nothing is permanent. Every moment we are deciding what will happen next. just cause and effect relationship and it is our way of thinking, our approach which makes us what we are. Therefore it is very important that you take your decisions yourself, about everything which is related to you.............time to have dinner :)

How to leave behind and to move forward

I know it is easily said than done..............leaving behind all the painful memories/experiences......... but there is no other way. recently I read a very good line from Anupam kher:
"Life is not always about glory and achievement, it is about growing up as a person."
yes, those tough experiences teach us more than what we could learn otherwise. That simple and rosy picture of success where you see yourself enjoying work with your family with a comfortable and satisfactory social circle...........is easy to talk about on a blogger site, but requires a lot of efforts in real life. Are we ready?
If I myself introspect my own life and the graph of personal and professional life, both seems to be OK. Yes, I'm not a prodigy and I've not made any records except doing what I was supposed to do with sincerity and hard work, without passing on the blame to somebody and taking responsibility of my own decisions; I know life could not have taken shape in some other way i.e. I got more than what I deserved or thought of achieving and I'm improving with each new and unexpected experience of life, I think now things are improved so much for me that I can be more focused towards what I want out of my life. But here I feel helpless :(
I think this is the funniest part of my life, I always performed better when circumstances were not favorable or were not in my control, but when things are going OK, I'm finding it hard to choose the best option for me. But I want to move forward with all the wisdom which I learnt when I traveled without any specific goal, moving where destiny took me and I don't want to be so casual about the way I live my life..........................................

New Year Resolution............Humanity as Religion

It is OK to decide on something good on New Year. I'm also like you and I thought of doing smething good for the society in this year.

Let us start with these ideas in this song...................

Let us pray that He should guide us in the coming years to take the right path instead of wasting our life in trivial matters.

*Speech by Chetan Bhagat at Symbiosis*

Thanks to one of my seniors@office for forwarding this to me.........

Don’t just have career or academic goals. Set goals to give you a balanced, successful life. I use the word balanced before successful.*Balanced* means ensuring your health, relationships, mental peace are all in good order.There is no point of getting a promotion on the day of your breakup. There is no fun in driving a car if your back hurts. Shopping is not enjoyable if your mind is full of tensions.

"Life is one of those races in nursery school where you have to run with a marble in a spoon kept in your mouth. If the marble falls, there is no point coming first. Same is with life where health and relationships are the marble. Your striving is only worth it if there is harmony in your life. Else, you may achieve the success, but this spark, this feeling of being excited and alive, will start to die. ………………. One thing about nurturing the spark - don't take life seriously. Life is not meant to be taken seriously, as we are really temporary here. We are like a pre-paid card with limited validity. If we are lucky, we may last another 50 years. And 50 years is just 2,500 weekends. Do we really need to get so worked up? …………….It's ok, bunk a few classes, scoring low in couple of papers, goof up a few interviews, take leave from work, fall in love, little fights with your spouse. We are people, not programmed devices..... ...." :)

Dance Slow...................

Another message which I got on this special day, thank to Anita, my friend@office

Have you ever watched kids on a merry-go-round?
Or listened to the rain slapping on the ground?
Ever followed a butterfly’s erratic flight?
Or gazed at the sun into the fading night?
You better slow down. Don’t dance so fast.
Time is short. The music won't last.

Do you run through each day on the fly?
When you ask, how are you? Do you hear the reply?
When the day is done, do you lie in your bed,
with the next hundred chores running through your head?
You'd better slow down. Don't dance so fast.
Time is short. The music won't last.

Ever told your child, we’ll do it tomorrow?
And in your haste, not see his sorrow?
Ever lost touch, Let a good friendship die
because you never had time, to call and say, 'Hi'
You'd better slow down. Don't dance so fast.
Time is short. The music won't last.

When you run so fast to get somewhere
you miss half the fun of getting there.
When you worry and hurry through your day,
It is like an unopened gift Thrown away.
Life is not a race. Do take it slower
Hear the music before the song is over.

Be Focussed.................

When you have to put up with mean people, Think of them as sandpaper.They may scratch you,Rub you the wrong way,
But eventually...
YOU end up smooth & polished
And the sandpaper....?
It'll be worn out & ugly!Makes you think, doesn't it?
