Keep it Simple!!



Feels awesome about,
The place I live in, the people I'm surrounded by, the work I do, the money I earn, the health I have and the love from family and friends, the 3 square meals and the HOME I have, the beautiful smile of a child, the chirping of birds, the early morning prayers from far away,
the exercises I do, the books I read and the learning from them, the drive I take, the blogs i write, the listening to culturally and traditionally rigid people, the handling of I'm the best kinda people, the ice cream I cherish once a while, the calls with mum, the lovely chat with with nieces, the sunset from my balcony, the gifts I receive often, the cooking I do and the care I show/get, the small fights,the long nights watching movies, the trips I make, the photos I flip through often, the ISD calls I make, the love stories of some friends and shunning the irritating people....


This is the way I love life and this is the way I forget pains and negatives, if any!

Life is simple because I like to keep it simple!

Lesson(s) to learn!


I went out for lunch today away from work. I was walking towards a place where I had to meet him and I was in my own thoughts, lost in my own world thinking of probably some issues or problems.

In front of me was a small pharmacy from where I sometimes buy medicines and toffees and it is right beside my office.

One little girl may be around 6-7 yrs holding her tiny, weak and unhealthy little sister who was around 2 yrs was begging. The older one was wearing a full dress but the tiny kid looked real poor, not enough clothes, half naked and begging or rather learning how to beg from her elder sister.
One man was kind enough to place a coin in the older ones hand right in front of the pharmacy. She smiled and progressed towards the shop and I thought may be she will beg from the shop owner or buy a toffee out of it. But she put that 1 re coin into the weighing machine and put her little sister on board to see how much she weighed. Both laughed their heart out and stepped out of that and started their job again.

I was shell shocked and my eyes were wet.

In just these 30 secs of my observation I got to learn lots. I dont know what but I will surely learn something out of this today. I'm sure all of us have something to learn from these children.
Simple lessons of life taught in the simplest ways!!

Fight your own battle!


Off late I have been escaping from troublesome situations , people and in general anything at all just to keep my mind calm and peaceful. It feels like I'm recovering from an ailment.

Life at times, seems better when you discuss less on your problems and do the problem solving yourself. Because when you discuss your itch you sure are gonna get more and more suggestions and opinions from every tom dick and harry. Our mind always tends to get influenced by others opinions.
I feel at times that deciding on your plans for life is the best way to handle problems en route.  And when you are out of the trouble in your own ways, you come out to be a stronger person and better at making decisions.
Facing quite some hurdles in professional life I too have made my own mistakes, made some weird choices and now today I feel much better for the journey I have set for myself and the plan that is in place. Whenever I had to discuss these professional hurdles (which are mostly in abundance for women) with anyone, for that matter family, friends and sometimes anyone at all, I have had tons and tons of suggestions pouring in.
Though all of them might be good but I ended up confused. Some said I'm very emotional and some said I need to be mentally strong like never before to handle tough people. I started imagining that things might be wrong at my end. Finally I took my own decisions, set my own rules and made life easier for myself. Even if I fail with my strategy I will not feel bad because I'm much stronger and a better person now to handle the so called professional losers.

Though it has been nice to handle bad situations at work, in a long run, I'm worried I cant do it more.
Not everyone comes to office to just work. Some people come to ensure they make use of their power and authority, some to play politics, some to do favoritism  some to trouble the co workers, some to just get money and some to take time off from home.

I hear a lot about office politics and troubles faced from my female friends.
Is this something against women or what is it. I'm seriously curious to know more about the reason behind such behavior at workplace. The motive behind the problem creators.

Being professional probably includes a lot of politics which I'm unaware of !!
