Less investment yields higher returns !


That’s exactly how this decade’s generation lives life n loves it too..!
It could be the things that they say or the jobs that they do, the idea behind it is to do it in such a way that it impacts the third person exactly where it has to , the weak point some call it  and win them over like they never expected to be ever before.
          No matter how small any effort would be, its impact always matters in this beautiful world. For instance, that cute little smile which has this cuter dimple, though it is called a facial disorder, is not the first thing you notice on a happy face.
Breaking the ice , an essential technique or a surviving tip for every single soul in this fast moving world, is still, a herculean task for many because it’s the first sentence that comes out, that describes the person in uncountable ways, we can ever sit and wonder.

I remember how people used to mock, when I cared for small little things for beloved ones, which can include things right from their fresh scratch on the hand to any disaster striking them. Looking back at those times and things done, I now realize that spending few minutes for someone was not a bad decision after all, since for them even a minute of attention would mean the world.

           Having said that, being available for people only when they require you can also be termed as hypocritical in this awesome age, cos this is the time, where anniversaries and birthdays are popped up as Facebook reminders rather than putting efforts on one’s brain.
So getting to remember small things like -- how one wishes Gud night with a special wink or how a person would react in a given situation or to figure out before hand where your friend cherishes to sit in a particular restaurant, which you guys had hardly visited once or jus surprisingly celebrating a b’day of our friend, 6 months post the b’day becos it was only then had you got the opportunity to hang out  -- will definitely lead to a peaceful stay over time and also indirectly make few souls happy to the core.
               
             Continuing what I started with, this age is basically called the T20 era, where knowing a person is ‘happening’ at a fast pace and forgetting them takes no time at all. I m a guy of this era, but ‘hey, what am I missing in this fast paced life…?’
Awesome time spent together with my friends, who aren’t close to me now or
that loads of care of my family which I never bothered about until off-late or
 just the peaceful time with your partner, where you forget the world n fly into a world of happiness.

Wish there were direct n simple answers to these questions. In any case, try impacting someone s life, thank them for something or appreciate them for the help they have given, or jus gift a small kid n the best of all, more than conveying regards or condolences, be there in person.
These small moments will definitely help you take the happiest last breath!!
Would love to quote the brand line of a famous liquor company –
     “It’s your life, Make it Large”

Winds of change

Winds are meant to blow, it can be just a breeze or a mighty storm. Withstanding it is the process of life, many a times we get blown away with the wind, not sure of the destination or the path it takes us along and seldom comes a time where we stand against the gushing force, knowing that it could be the only way/reason to survive in life.

breezyBlowing winds are like the minor set back or short-term happiness, we get in life, they are a welcome change indeed, with out them we can never enjoy life. Its like one of those instances, where some one recollects your date of joining in college/office and wishes you on the D day or the simple courtesy, "How can I not come, when you wanted me..", can give you the feeling of elation, though short lived but it makes our day. Winning small bets and petty prizes for little things you never bothered about can give you abundant happiness.

My life too had its own share of the "breezy, windy and stormy phase". The breezy phase in life has never lasted for long for its purpose in our life is short lived and is to be forgotten as soon as the moment is celebrated or detested..
My friend/colleague recently shared this breezy thought : "Just when you think life is getting hectic & you have no time to breathe, a tiny moment comes along and you feel on top of the world." --  this very well describes the importance of breezy winds and its after effects


windy phaseThe windy phase kicks in, where decision though hard, but are to be made which can affect your immediate short term future, like getting to know some one and living the day and night of life with them, even when you know, that those priceless moments spent will soon be memories.
Its called the windy phase, cos when they blow, they make sure you feel the difference, but when they move on, you know their impact on you and your surroundings.

And then HITS the Stormy phase, it HITS cos it is nature's/God's way of driving our lives, they never require your decision, all that is required is your presence to face it and live it, boldly.
StormyInstances where things go out of your hand, putting you into trouble and you see no solution -- like my cousin breaking his leg while skateboarding resulting in 3 fractures and a dislocation--  or in case of good times, things happen so smoothly that it may seem too good to be true, like winning the losing game of football. Priceless moment.

The only way to live life is to keep moving cos the world is bad and we live there too ;)
So get the idea and be the change, the winds are awaiting.

The Aftermath

             words are meant to deceive, but God has made the normal human face such, that until forced upon it shall never deceive people and that is why many a times your words may help you win but the expressions on the face stoops you down.

When any unforeseen situation occurs in life, its always our expression which gives out our actual emotions, because no school teaches kids to hide feelings, but as we grow, we end up learning this new new art , some master it and some lose it out and others, well they just play along.

Instances which I cud experience along in my life actually gave me the idea that the art of deceiving is now so beautifully built into us that we seldom realize it.

My dear friend recently bid good bye to his mom for that one last time as she scaled greater heights(heaven in this case), for a day he was shattered but as life had it, he had to overcome the feeling and as people visited home to pay their condolences, he had now stopped crying -externally-, not that he dint miss His mom, but, now he had to stay up for his younger sister and others who could not hold back their emotions and cried in vain.

For everybody who cared and asked his health and his present status, all he would say is "Badhiya hain"( I m  keeping good, in Hindi ), but the sheen & the glow on his face was not to be seen now. When left alone he could run deep down in thoughts but when asked "Kya soch raha hain be..?" (Wats on your mind dude), there would be a plain simple answer, "Nothing..!", clearly contradicting to the expressions on his face.

Many a times it just so happens that we don't realize, what we talk does not go hand in hand with what we express with our face-hands and other gestures.
Even simple day to day conversations, can leave you a little perplexed, when it is made aware to you that someone has been actually noticing your expressions and also judges you on your reaction than your words..

Fake Reality

At first glance the title may sound like two contradictory words paired together, however on reading further it would sound as an apt title..

In this world of diplomacy, even for a question such as: "How often have you supported the truth?", will be answered in a diplomatic way.. Considering the fact with today's next gen people, faking it out seems the norm. Being, what you are not, looks/sounds REAL to the world...
Few instances I would like to quote with their after math showcasing the depth of "fake"ness in us:

Truth--Its never seen# I was late the other day to my office and unfortunately bumped into one of my mangers only to be stopped by a question, 'You are coming now, why are you late ?'
There were two immediate options to me as answer Blame me for it or blame others(in this case, the traffic while traveling).. I wanted to take a stand and try cutting the norm of fake and took the blame on me by telling, "I slept a little longer", an unexpected answer for my supervisor.
This resulted as the whole idea being exaggerated and I was moved to different team in some time. 

# Was in a conversation with another female friend of mine, everything seem to fine except the fact that I did not enjoy the conversation, though I did stick to the norm -- of faking, ofcourse -- to make sure the other person is not offended by the fact that I did not enjoy the conversation, but it could not be carried on for a long time and at one moment I broke the flow and tried to peacefully end it, but as they say, Truth is bitter, this friend of mine did get offended... The next thing I know now, its been weeks I ve spoken with her now.

One common thing to be noticed would be the reality part, ie., the aftermath of telling the truth.
Preaching something which we normally don't do will also sound as fake,  but the whole point of the article seems to be be brighten now - no matter you fake it or not..
The question is - Do you respect the truth being told to you...?

The World of Numero-one

Spending quality time with friends and family is what one looks forward to, but many a times we end up spending time with some one whom we know very closely, yet, we fail to recognize their voice..
Well, it does not take rocket scientist knowledge for one to discover, the inner feeling, yet it takes its own sweet time and the patience to understand the same.

Its you..The SELF.. Recollecting instances of the past one can imagine the time we had spent with ourself - doing our homework, alone – playing with team, yet focusing on self -  Having fun at a  birthday party  - but still the desire to find the nice little cosy corner never dies.

We always enjoy being with self, no matter pain or happiness  - were praised or blamed upon – feeling of proud or guilt – love or hatred, we’ve always felt or we are too sure that, NO one apart from us has experienced/struggled as much as we did. Yet in most demanding times of our Life, we failed to hear the Inner voice, which still is whispering, shouting and for a majority of the time, moaning inside the energy filled soul.

After meeting with a major bike accident, I realized, no matter what we tell the world about our priorities, which goes like, first priority Parents – then  Siblings and then our spouses, We fail to realize that when we are hurt  - either physically /mentally or both – the world seems to be dead for us. So now on its just YOU and no one else, until you recover.
At this juncture your past would flash back, yet you would be able to  recollect only what YOU did among the crowd rather than the crowd itself.
The power of self is the unique invisible power which you know can never run out until, you want it to die or hide, So respect your birth as You come and go alone. The top of the pyramid is always empty and "sharing" while being at the top is not easy to come by.. Living alone is the way of life then on.. !
We eat alone – think alone  - digest all the information alone, yet we love staying in a group, to ensure the invisible security, which each of us loves to have around them.

To add , Here I  recollect the phrase from the movie Kahaani sing by Big B which goes like :
Jodi Tor Daak Shune Keu Naa Aase Tobe Eklaa Chalo Re,
"If no one responds to your call, then go your own way alone"
