Lets begin the Journey........!!!!!!

{As I look back to those days when I was a Junior, a thought strikes my mind that if I would have communicated with my seniors in a proper manner, I could have been a better student. The grades are still high, but when I look myself in the mirror of Finance, I still lag behind……….Well………If’s, But’s, Could, Would will remain……….but what needs to be done right now is to give few pieces of advice to juniors……..}

“Learn to manage yourself, your life and your belongings………..”

Those were the initial advisory words of my father when I get into a Management course…………

Well, over the course of time what I have observed is that Managers, in pursuit of managing others’ life, end up on creating a mess of their own…………..They are pressurized to give the best investment advice to the client, yet their own finances don’t find any significant investment avenues……….. they are supposed to remember deadlines, yet they don’t remember the birthdates’ of their special ones’………………..

And here lies the first lesson of management………..If you are seriously here for getting the output of the sum you are putting in, you must focus on managing your own life, must dress up like a professional which begets a professional attitude and should focus on improving your own lifestyle…….

Human psychology or human brain responds to surrounding an individual have………the kind of lifestyle a person have and the quality of company a person keeps with him…………..!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Although the path to self-management requires many compromises and sacrifices, it will surely help you in long run……….make a good competitive company…….enlighten the ambiance surrounding you by good and positive thoughts……..run for quality…….marks and package will take care of itself……………..

And the last but not the least advice from me……..

“Don’t ever condemn IMS in front of anyone……….”

Because……….When you make a choice, you choose its consequences also……………..!!!!!!!!!

Ye dosti hum bhi to todenge......!!!!!!

Friendship is a wonderful beginning………….

Both of them met through a common friend but as they conversed more and more, their friendship grew in leaps and bounds………..

Both of them were entangled in their own quagmires yet they were happy to be with each other……….searching for a moment of relief which can take them away from the complicities life offers………….they were the ones who were just friends, but shared every hidden secret that lies beneath them………

Helping each other became their characteristics……….laughing in one’s own cocoon became their prerogative……….sitting for long hours in a café and in a study room became their habit……….

Because they were not best friends………..they were friends with best feelings……….!!!!!!!!

As the time passed by, it bolstered to a great extent……….and was at a level of maturity where although they have their own targets and personal aspirations…………it soon became collective to them………..

And then, a tide came and blown away everything…………

A slight misunderstanding added by the agony of each other’s ego coming to their way which once pushed the resumption yet the friendship never resumed……

One was ready to resolve while another was rigid in nature……….one was ready to hear the bitter words and take things back to normalcy……..other wasn’t ready to shed the ego which is a useless virtue to possess in these times……….

As the time passed, two poles became apart from each other……….and in those times…….the tide took away everything……..they were no more friends……….

Because they have become good actors now……….pretension is the last thing they can do………!!!!!!!!

Friendship is also about bitter endings……………

Well, the above case might not be a case of true friendship but my personal experiences states that……….

“ Friendship is not about how steady the boat sails, it’s about how it balances and bounce back once again when it starts to sink…………..”

Do you believe in god....????

DO YOU BELIEVE IN GOD………??????

This is the question I like to ask to everyone who is my close acquaintance as the answer of this question reflects how much unsatisfied we live in our own lives………….

The answer I get mostly is……

“No, because god hasn’t given me whatever I wished for………..”

In my recent frequent visits to Hospitals where people sob more than they smile, I came up with a striking realization that what I am, where I am and what I have is much better than people who survive for their lives day in day out and hence I must thank almighty for giving me whatever limited yet precious assets I have which can be better utilized to produce more………….

Well, as we grow more as an individual, some personal aspirations, wishes and desires arise naturally to us which when remained unfulfilled can take the better of us and hence to shift the burden of failure, we try to blame the existence of almighty………………who is conducting all the proceedings in front of us…………

We live unsatisfied throughout our lives………….because we don’t thank the almighty for what we have  and focus more on what we don’t have…………….which is born out of an uncanny habit of comparing ourselves or by useless virtue of asking for more………………

We can’t appreciate and value what we have, we go to temples for the sake of a personal desire and not by the eternal faith in god……..We ask for more and more as the thirst and desires are unquenchable………….Because……..

Mind likes to chase a promised happiness at the cost of an available one………

Live satisfied for what you have, where you are and focus more on generating higher returns out of that……….. Because…………God also helps those who helps and value themselves……..!!!!!!!

So when next time someone asks you this question......think twice before answering.....

A sweet anecdote…………

{He asked: Do you believe in god?

She replied: No, because god hasn’t given what I wished for……….

He replied momentarily: Mujhe bhi to nai manga tha phir bh to mil gaya naaaa………… :p :p }

Leave the crust out........

One day a highly spiritual man took his 4-year son to an Italian restaurant where they ordered some pasta and breads. As their order arrived, the little child took the bread and start cutting it to segregate the crust out of it while the man was still thinking as to how to eat the bread…………….

His son’s act of cutting the crust and eating the soft part of the bread initially bewildered him but the very next moment; it gave him a life-learning experience……………!!!!!!!!

The little boy had the wisdom to focus on the good part of the bread and leave the rest……!!!!!

We human being, as we grow up and become more of an individual, tend to give too much importance to the crust part of our life…………..we try to distract ourselves or rather are distracted by spending too much time on focusing the crust of our own lives rather than focusing on all good things that happen day in day out in our lives…………..

We focus on the restraints or the obstacles that slows down the progress………..we focus on future uncertainty that lies in front of us………..we focus on activities of people who don’t belong to our priority list…………..we focus on all the bad things that is happening with us………..

And in the process, we lose the ability to have positive thinking…………..!!!!!!!!!!!

Well our thoughts do form our world and what we think about does grow in our lives……..What we focus on will determine our destiny and hence……..

We must focus on the good stuff…………!!!!!!!

I would repeat the same lines again………

.

“Life is not about managing what you have, it’s about managing what you don’t have……….”

Can love happen twice.......!!!!!!!!!

“Love is a spark which can’t be put into words……..”

Yet, I am doing it…………

Few days back, someone asked me if you truly loved her, then you can’t truly love another one, because it happens once and forever in life……….

Well, all the concerns and questions were logically right, but my reply was:

“You don’t leave watching a movie again when you have watched it once…..”

Because love is watching a movie again and again, where every other time you catch the small nuances of the movie very well and enjoy it a lot more than before………..

Frankly speaking, true love exists in every dimensions of our life, be it our parents, our beloved ones, our grandparents………..and last but not the least, the soul with whom you get attracted and both of them make a world of their own, unaware of  the proceedings in front of them………

And they try to make that world a beautiful reality……….!!!!!!!!!

True love is more about listening to your heart than your mind, being at your own-self rather than manipulating yourself, adjusting to never adjustable, making less impressions and letting other feel the divinity of it…………..

Well, you can’t fall in true love for umpteenth time, because

Even you can’t watch the same movie again and again and catch those nuances…………..

{P.S: Don’t ever ask me whether I have fallen into love once again, and if you desire to do so, have a look at the initial lines………}

Let's live the moment.......!!!!!!

“Past gives sorrows and future gives tensions………….”

Human mind, having that uncanny habit of thinking too far ahead and too far behind, piggybacks itself or pushes itself to thoughts of what has already lost and to what is beyond their control…………

Being conscious individuals, we always have the regret for a lost battle, for a lost opportunity, for a missed crush where our thoughts became full of if’s and but’s and those endless thoughts develops more sorrows and less confidence building moments for us……………

We engulf into thoughts of what if we could have done that or but there was that X constraint for us…………arguments and evaluation take the center stage and we find ourselves lost in the nostalgia…………

Also, being a country of thinkers who variably lacks action on those thoughts, we panic ourselves by the looming uncertainty of future; we make assumptions and predictions on our own and bet on a path which even astrologers fail to predict………..and thinking about those useless things, we become worried……..

Well, avoiding those thoughts itself seems to be a battle……….especially when you are a youngster…….who knows the opportunity cost of every missed one and the price of an upcoming one………….

But, thinking too far ahead and too far behind bury the present moment or opportunity for us………….hence let’s focus and cherish the moment……….don't compensate the present moment for a desired future moment or for a lost past moment.........

Because, life is not about managing what you have, it’s about managing what you don’t have……….!!!!!!!

So just chill without paying its bill..........!!!!!!!!

Don't feel Buried........

“Success is all about how you manage your failures……………”

Life is a rolling ball-game where success and failures are two vital components………….While everyone faces failures, its sheer management makes you successful…..

Get back your memory to those times when you have failed, failure in relationships which destroys emotional and mental stability, failure in any kind of investment which restricts you from investing further……

One of the common failure these days, failure of expectations- of others and of self- which sink your mind to thoughts of self-doubts and an unstable future…………clouds hover as to what is the way now………depression and self-agony tests your negativity which reaches to an extreme level………

And yet you are able to get out of those times, came out with flying colors, beaten all those self-doubts and came a long way to seek a better and fruitful life………………

In tough times, you may feel like its end, but in reality it’s the beginning………..

You must wonder why and how…………????????

Because every time you have failed, you came stronger and made yourself prepared to face the same challenge again, but with a different intensity and determination………..

Remember, at times of failures, do not consider yourself as buried, but you have been planted again to come back……….. Because you are a seed sent by god.
