Insight Out

Breathe.  When stressed, lost in a problem or the past or future in your mind breathe with your belly for two minutes and just focus on the air going in and out. This will calm your body down and bring your mind back into the present moment again. Do one thing at a time.  You’ll get better results and feel better and less stressed while doing those things. Write it all down.  Use your mind for better things than remembering what to do. And the mind is often like a leaky bucket. So write down all your great ideas, insights, and thoughts before they go missing somewhere and add what you need to do to a to-do list. Do all your food shopping once a week.  You’ll save time, energy and possibly money. Stop doing what you don’t like doing anymore.  Life changes and so do you. If you you don’t like doing something anymore then stop doing that (even if it may take some time before you can do so by for example switching jobs). Stop trying to please everyone. ...

What I write is what I look around..n I get the best chance to look into the Indian mindset while I travel..n me being accustomed to almost nomadic lyfstyle.. i travel quite frequently..n that too by train..d lifeline of India.. It is a few days back that I boarded the train...as always it was packed n me searchin for a little space to even put a single bag in my entire compartment. n then luckily I could see some vacant space in top berth n I rested my bag there..After a while as I settled down..i took out the book from my bag...d one borrowed from someone for a while but with me for a while for the lack of time to read it..n I started going through it... Just the next station arrived in a matter of half an hour..n with the noise around I started rolling my eyes over d compartment and me being the observer by nature started to think on what I see. What I see around is a couple in my compartment.. d husband would b around 35..in mid thirties..n d wife would b around 30.....

People come into your life for a reason, a season or a lifetime. When you figure out which one it is you will know what to do for each person. When someone is in your life for a REASON, it is usually to meet a need you have expressed. They have come to assist you through a difficulty; to provide you with guidance and support; to aid you physically, emotionally or spiritually. They may seem like a godsend, and they are. they are there for the reason you need them to be. Then, without any wrongdoing on your part or at an inconvenient time, this person will say or do something to bring the relationship to an end. Sometimes they die. Sometimes they walk away. Sometimes they act up and force you to take a stand. What we must realize is that our need has been met, our desire fulfilled; their work is done. The prayer you sent up has been answered and now it is time to move on. Some people come into your life for a SEASON, because your turn has come to share, grow or lea...

It feels so wonderful..  To be on your own.. All by yourself.. In the train..Swaying to the beats of the train.. I amongst the unknown crowd, Seated with an eye on my luggage.. And the other on my novel..  The solemn music of the train..The rhythm, the pattern.. The feeling of the strong wind on my face, so prominent, just like a splash of water! I in my cozy window seat..It’s so exciting The people around searching for seat.. The TC in daily mood of corruption  Luggage stacked overhead in a row, Fans not working, Tubes flickering, No call... no messaging! (Due to no network :-P) The Indian railways is Always so amazing..

I adapted this title from the song I heard recently and found much related in my profession. I am not exactly d emotional person ..neither am I expert at face reading..bt atleast I can understand those well whom I know personally n connect well. n I would call myself lucky on that..as people tend to lose these abilities workin in IT..and the same I try to put it in words here.. 13 april 2011...as i make an attempt to understand the human nature..i felt that the absence of person who touches most aspect of your daily lives can create a huge void..d one difficult to fill in...n this happens time and again in IT that you miss someone whom you feel like talkin to..sharing the funniest of moments and the hardest of time..d one wid whom you have the closest of ties...you get selfish for a moment..you want the time to stop and not let the person go..bt again at d very next moment u being the wellwisher want the best for them.. This change being the part of lyf..u tr...

Sometimes I feel like laughing at the desperate comedy of the world! This is the world full of people intoxicated with their own egos, drunk with a sense of their own importance, who just go off gadded about in their automobiles, in frequent expensive malls and restaurants to blow off all their money on works of ‘art’ of singular hideousness, which probably won’t serve any worthwhile purpose other than lurking in some sinister corner of their oddly decorated mansion. In all their ‘oddliness’, things are found that would best adorn the dustbin, of pure aesthetic value. It’s the age of the Odd, Absurd and the Useless. Fashion changes with teeth-grinding regularity. Sometimes feel like questioning:  Who decides what’s in and what’s out, anyway? Bizarre designs of highly overrated designers are exorbitantly expensive. Yet, for the love of the Odd, the excessively rich, go ahead and purchase the potentially unwearables and only settle for the best. Maybe filling the house with things on...
