Happiness for a change :)

A nomad, as they say has no roots. One can only trace their origin is by their specific behavioural pattern and facial characteristics. I am a firm believer that as life must go on, so must we. Of course, evolving with time…

You see, even a thin stream finds its own way and makes its journey to the ocean. To retain balance, the rule of life is that let there be nothing that be permanent. The universe, the mankind, the nature…everything is temporary…there is a duration of particular event at a particular point of life, which if not utilised optimally becomes a regret. Wow! now I'm even writing like an engineer...O God! Pls save me from these human calculators...

Well, here is the simple mantra as told by Chetan Bhagat at Symbi, Pune:  Don’t just have career or academic goals. Set goals to give yourself a balanced, successful life. I use the word balanced before successful. Balanced means ensuring your health, relationships, mental peace are all in good order.

There is no point of getting a promotion on the day of your break-up. There is no fun in driving a car if your back hurts. Shopping is not enjoyable if your mind is full of tensions.



"Life is one of those races in nursery school where you have to run with a marble in a spoon kept in your mouth. If the marble falls, there is no point coming first. Same is with life where health and relationships are the marble. Your striving is only worth it if there is harmony in your life. Else, you may achieve the success, but this spark, this feeling of being excited and alive, will start to die.

One thing about nurturing the spark - don't take life seriously. Life is not meant to be taken seriously, as we are really temporary here. We are like a pre-paid card with limited validity. If we are lucky, we may last another 50 years. And 50 years is just 2,500 weekends. Do we really need to get so worked up? It's ok, bunk a few classes, scoring low in couple of papers, goof up a few interviews, take leave from work, fall in love, little fights with your spouse. We are people, not programmed devices.........

Don't be serious, be sincere."

Well, I’m going to frame it and keep it in front of my eyes just to make sure that no mind in the world can corrupt me with the silly notion of competition and ‘I think my boss likes me more than you attitude’.

Move on people. Life is all about changes. Coming out of the comfy cocoon may hurt a little in the start, but believe me it brings more joy in experiencing many new things… than making yourself vulnerable.

One life… many things to do, many things to see…live it to the fullest...

Take care and don’t be serious.
