My midweek thought ...

Middle of the week and i release that we all spend too much time working. some day calculate how much time you spend working. Ideally one person should sleep 8 hrs in a day. This leaves us with 16hrs. We spend approx 4 hours getting ready, eating, lazing around etc. That leaves us with 12 hrs. If we work (ideal situation) say 8 hrs, there are only 4 hrs left. Now we leave 2 hrs as driving time (metro driving does take this much time) ONLY 2 HOURS ARE LEFT. To spend these two hours so as to extract maximum from life is a challenge. GOD only 2 hrs in 24 hours to myself, my family, my friends etc. THIS IS TRAGIC. so what do we do. Sleep a little less??? yes that would help but give you only 2 hours more. Are you satisfied with 4 hours???/ I AM NOT. the way out that i have found is to have fun at work. Yes work can be fun despite office politics, irritating colleagues, bad boss etc. The way is to reduce the time spent angry or in negative state of mind during the work.  enjoy the work. Yes work can be tedious but why waste energy on all the negatives?? get over with the work you dont like first and then work on what you like and spend time on it. 

A little serious is this post, hoping to convey a thought, this may help you, you may disagree with it , but this is my thought dont judge, this is my post.

This is me

Before i write the lines let me tell you a story. Sitting in a conference thinking of song here come few lines which i shall bestow:

"Here i am,
this is me,
there is no other place I rather be.

here I am this is me,
there are many thing,
I have to be.

Here I am ,
this is me,
colours of life,
all over me.

here I am ,
this is me,
life is flowing
all around me.

Here I am,
this is me,
making my marks,
where ever i be.
Here I am,
this is me,
there is no other place,
I rather be"

Ya ya sounds like that song... then came few thoughts while sipping the tea
"
funny is life when you take one step back and look at the mess. the fights and arguments and all the mess ; seem nothing but a miscommunication and nonsense. Sitting amount he learned peers who are arguing over a simple matter I realise my mind drifts to the clouds out in sky...."

The meeting ended but nothing was resolved. That my friend is top management.

magic of words

Today i was driving and got stuck in a really bad traffic jam. waiting waiting for the traffic to move i wanted to write few words. yes people i understand that i cant drive and write especially in a jam. BUT yes BUT thanks to the "voice notes recorder" every thing is possible. I switched it on and went i said out my thoughts out loud. Hearing my voice singing my own thoughts was a weird experience. VVV weird but beggars cant be choosers... so there i went and said few word about first love which is wrong for all reasons but still it is love. (this is not the post about some other time will tell you). The traffic moved and so did i and happy me switched off the voice recorder. after playing office office for a while i met a person who i wanted to share the thoughts with.. the person heard my thoughts in one corner of the office and to my amazement and astonishment i realised that the person had tears in the eyes. BIG ones too.. so i quickly calmed the person and realised that my thoughts conveyed the person's dilemma (truly i did not do this intentionally). then like in the movies light falls on the hero/heroine and great mystery is revealed it dawned on me that my words could have an effect. i was elated. after some time i think i wanted to check my so called power and did the same with another person. This second person made a face saying "what is this???". There my balloon of happiness busted as again yes again the light en-lighted me to the fact that words alone are not magic it is a persons emotion and understanding that bring magic to words. what a lesson to learn when for years i believed in the magic of words.
