Alvida to Jamnagar ! (GET 2012)

16th May 2013 - My last day at RIL jamnagar. It has been 10 months , 10 amazing months. It is said that to reach you destination in life , you may take different paths. "All roads lead to Rome" they say . It may be true.

So you tread on the road, incurring many emotions- victory, disappointment, heart breaks, heart flutters, anger, slump; YOU NEED TO BRAVE IT ALL AND MOVE ON.

Sometimes you may incur many a people- some who teach you things, some who make your life sweet, some who irritate you and some of every kind. YOU BECOME ATTACHED BY LOVE OR HATE... IN ANY CASE U MOVE ON !

Sometimes you may incur many a places- dark & shady, silent but serene, happening & non-happening , amazing but dull, places of every kind. YOU SHOULD ENJOY IT TO THE MAX. FOR EVERY PLACE HAS A STORY TO TELL ! AND FINALLY YOU WILL MOVE ON !

I am giving no fancy speech. Just the truth that life would move on and you may or may not reach the destination you pined for. So enjoy the dusty roads, rough winds, soothing breeze, hard rains, blazing sun, heart warming chocolates, calorific-food, the unexpected friend, the known opponent, the voices that oppose you and make you strong  the hands which help and bolster you...

This journey is much more to me for the attainment of the goal will be all peace . The excitement is now. And the last 10 months with you people have been very exciting,passionate, fun, happy & mind-boggling for me.  I have met some amazing people and made friends for life :) If only I could capture the past months on a roll of film and play it again ! But , they say memories last for very long and perhaps they will. So with happy emotions, I bid farewell to all of you !

Thankyou for your kindness, animosity, encouragement,hostility, humility and comradeship. It has made me strong ! One last thing to say, " Make your life good! " Cheers !

All in a Day's Work

The other day I heard a talk from a certain Mr. AB about how passionate he was about his life. This made me think about an average human. Here's how an average human spends his 24 hours of the day-
8 hours sleep
3 hours personal time
3 hours socialising ( includes food n timepass)
10 hours of work

So we know that a major part of our day, our month,our year ,our life is spent WORKING !!

We have an opinion, a choice in everything we do, be it to buy clothes, build a home, choosing a holiday destination but in work ? Do we really decide what , where and how we want to work ? Do we choose our work ? People might say work is a necessity . True, but for what ? A necessity to earn a living - food , shelter and ? Is only physical well being a necessity ? What about mental well being and peace ?

It is a hard-proven fact that most battles are fought and won on a mental level. In fact even physical disabilities are overcome by mental perseverance. Humankind places the mind over everything else. But at the end of the day, one does not WORK for its well-being ! It's ironical !

The society has conditioned us to work for our existence not for our living. For, if we were working for our living , would'nt we approach each day with zest and bubbling exuberance? If we were working for our living, each day our mind would buzz with an amazing expectancy for yet another beautiful day of mind-boggling deadlines, deals and a heap of mounting work which we love to do !

At the end of the day one should remember, "The essence of existence is living." LIVE LIFE KING SIZE!

The Warrior & Saint

A few days back I came across an article called ' 22 Things Happy people do differently' . It made me conscious of the clout of negative feelings that prevail and make me unhappy. Each day a lot of people annoy me, irritate me and make me want to rebuke them severely. I feel wronged by people's words and actions. And more than anything, the episode playing in my head repetitively burns a hole in my heart and makes me want to scream at the top of my voice. The event might have been small, but its repercussions in my head lead to aborrence of the subject and person.

I believe it is the tendency of human mind to take revenge, to oppose and fight contradictions. We smirk at people who take insults in their stride without a hitch. In fact, they are in peace with it. I noticed this character in one of my friends. We had a severe argument and the next moment she was talking like nothing had happened. Had I been there in her place, I would have expected a  sincere apology after ignoring the person for a while. In the process, I would have burnt myself and ruined my mood only. It dawned upon me that in this clash between 'revenge' and 'forgiveness' nobody will get affected but myself. So flush the thoughts which evoke suffering . Tell yourself - 'I wont let anybody torment me anymore'.

 If you want to give people a  piece of your mind, do so - dont hesitate .When you are with a group of people, be  a warrior- Take your chances, enjoy and press your luck, live passionately and mercilessly bring down your opponents.  When in solitude, be a saint - forgive and forget, nobody matters but for inner peace which will lead to upliftment towards glory and God. In either case, refrain from attachment towards people and their thoughts . Attachment towards these, will lead to detachment from self and personal goals. Be diligent and choose !
