A quote

...that I heard from an Entrepreneur today..
"Life is not worth living if you are not enjoying what you are doing!"

Bingo! Well said!
So true!

Loving it

One thing that i have always or most of the times tried to do when i am low is to do something that i really enjoy doing. It rejuvinates me.. and i gain my self back..

Today I cooked the best aloo matar ki sabji with roti..
Yesterday cooked Pav Bhaji
and before that Rajma..

seem to be a valuable asset and I am enjoying doing it.
Hopefully would explore newer dishes over the summer

Assuming things..

We as human beings are so good at assuming things...

everytime some goes wrong..we assume things..
everytime something starts going right.. we assume things...

I do it all the time..
only that in my case its the negative assumptions that overpower...
everytime i have i misunderstanding with a friend over something,
I feel that i am wrong.. and that my friend will not talk to me for days.. or may be ever...

everytime a friend does not talk to me.. i feel i was bugging them too much and hence they are neglecting me..
everytime a friend writes something somewhere... i feel they are writing something about me..

Its these assumptions that bother me.. and i hate it when it affects me.

A fact

From a friend's blog..

it goes something like this
I don't have time to get angry with people, life is short and there is so much to do and achieve.
How true !!! I think its true with every other emotion...why waste time when its not working :-)

I replied back stating that though this may be true for a lot of things.. there are a few emotions that require a lot of patience.. and love is one of that.. I could go on and write for pages about love.. but i am not going to do that.

and in another post another friend wrote that men don't show emotions.... well.. not really ... I cannot buy that . generalizing it to the entire men clan is not right... I agree that while we men are a bit careful about showing emotions.. its not that we do not have emotions.. we do .. its just that we don't show it so often.. and thats the way it is going to be for long.

Do you believe in Telepathy?

I have this weird thing in me of getting into telepathic connection with people often.
Initially I used to get bugged by it.
So many times I have landed up in this situation where I end up what the person in front of me is about to say. And the other kind is, when I am thinking of someone and their message or call comes. That's perhaps the strongest form of telepathy.

Time to do what you like to do..

A new friend blogged today about having the time to do things what you really love doing.
How true that is. Thanks for that idea.

Being frank about things

Very few times you meet people who are frank about what they say and do.
Today I interacted with a director of design of a firm and he was blunt, he blasted me on my resume and cover letter, but on retrospect, I find what he said to be true.
I appreciated the fact that he was frank about it and the one important thing that it compelled me to do was think. It compelled me think about me. About my profession, about what I do and most importantly WHY i am doing it.
At the end of it, I may not have got what I wanted, but what I got was way more than what I initially wanted.
It did teach me to be myself and proud of what I am, no matter how small I am.
