Building Blocks of Adolescence

And one fine day your Mother realised that her child is no more a Kid, but has blossomed into a mature and a thoughtful person. And what makes her feel that you have stepped into the beautiful stage of Adolescence, could be the glimpse of maturity or the sense of responsibility in you. Experience of various shades of life introduce you to the good and the bad, the happy and the sad, the easy and the tough. The discomfort of tough times act as a classic stimulant to unleash your hidden strength provided you grab this opportunity with the right attitude and bear the responsibility of your actions. It is only the heat that enables the gold to discover it's shine and achieve the peak of it's strength. However, merely being out of your comfort zone will not help you grow unless you take the steering of the drive in your hands and own the responsibility of your decisions in the trip. Moreover, the essence of the journey comes to forefront only when you allow wisdom to step in by lea...

Job Flexibility is the New Job Security

If Change is the only Constant, then should Job Security be evaluated as an important parameter while accepting a job profile? If dal and rice cannot be your daily dinner, then will the same job profile be able to match your changing appetite for work. Even, if it is the flavour you like - how long could you cherish your favourite childhood delicacies? Thus, Change is mandatory for existence and important for exploring different dimensions of self. The fear and resistance of moving out from your comfort zone should be well balanced with the excitement and the challenges wrapped in the new opportunity spiced with the freshness of a new beginning and a new working environment. The essence of Flexibility gives you an opportunity to learn, to grow, to know and to explore your true self in the process. However, the idea of Security restricts your thought process to a protected domain, making the Universe an alien to the subject and allowing stagnancy to flourish over growth. Thus, Job F...

The Flavour of Freedom

Nothing tastes better than the taste of being Exclusively Yourself, absolutely unbiased from the learnings Of the past and the trainings of the society. A state marked with the dominance of Heart over Brain and decisions guided by choices and desires, turning logics and cost benefit analysis completely irrelevant. When the intention is neither to be proven right nor to be appreciated and accepted by the society but the idea is to enjoy and live the process thoroughly. A childlike state is a pure demonstration of the presence of absolute Freedom. The pressure of performance and the invisible chain of responsibilities, pushes you off the track, missing the hidden excitement and the happiness in the process. But, by being the Only Master and the Sole Proprietor of your life, with no Stake Holders, will give you the True Flavour of Freedom, which is Priceless and no amount of bribe is good enough to abandon it.

The Last Lesson

What Economics couldn't teach me, my dear grandmother did. Yeh she taught me the Law of  Demand and Supply, as her Last Lesson, before she left for heavenly abode almost seven years back. The sudden feeling of emptyiness in my world around, was crazy enough, to increase my want for her manifold but alas I could only end up realising that her stay with us was limited and have now ended for sure. Moresoever, I was amazed to witness that not only me, but the rest of the world had also developed a strong desire and urge to meet her then. And people who didn't even care much about her, travelled from far off places to feel sorry for her and bid her goodbye for the last time. Perplexed, with our society's response to this decrease rather end of this supply, made me conclude that we unfortunately, do not always value rather ignore, our priceless relations and then feel Sorry for the same at the end. These realtions are our ultimate Free Assets gifted by God, as our support sy...
