WEEK-IN #10

 By their side How could you help a person? For most of the problems we have, we feel that's supporting financially. That's great when you are not able to spend enough time on their support. So, the best way to support a person is by being on their side and giving them your time. Of course, everything I've said is subjective to the person, the problem they have, what they are expecting. Still, time is always better. I won't say that the more you support financially, the less time you could give them. But, the kind of situation always matters. You give Rs.2000 to a 5-year-old child and expect him to be happy? Everyone's needs are a bit different every single time, and you first have to understand their need and then think of how to support them. Of course, you only have 24 hours a day and you also have to work on your own stuff. That is the reason everyone needs a bit of your time for their support, cause time's finite. Anything infinite is gonna lose its value. ...

WEEK-IN #9

 A note to the young. To the Students When I was a student, I always used to think that once I get a job, I'll be free to do whatever I want. That thought always made me think that working is tension-free. People who work know how wrong the above couple of sentences are. It is like coming out of a training camp, into a war zone. Training camp's scenarios are all predictable. It was designed to be predictable. But, the war zone....... Oh Boy! There are hundreds of people who keep rising, and here you are, running behind the month-end for salary. Focus is chaos in the wild.  My classmates and I still talk about how good our colleges/school days were. And, that's fine for us. We had a hell lot of fun and tried to get enough knowledge to move further (Self-appreciation. We could've done better, but we all cared more about the Flash mob and the DJ guy. That guy didn't play the song I asked for. I'm gonna hit him someday.) There are students who are on either side of ...

WEEK-IN #8

Most of us lack the below quality, and that feeds onto our time and health. It’s tough, but needed.  Rejection I’m not talking about you having to eat veggies for meal and you say NO (That’s straightforward. I’d say NO to veggies all day everyday). I’m talking about the work you get and your pride’s at stake. That’s a war. You don’t like to do it, but you also don’t like to reject something a person had trusted you with. You crumble internally every single time.  Of course, there a boatload of books on this topic explaining Why, How and When to say NO. As I’m lazy (as always), I’ll try to bring out a short answer from my past experiences. As always, this might not work for everyone, but most can relate and try it out.  My go-to would always be to pick the one I’d love to do, and say NO to the other. Let’s say if it’s Badminton or Cricket. That’s a NO to cricket for me (Ahh! wait wait.. I’m not so good at cricket. Don’t assume that I hate cricket). That was simple, right? ...

WEEK-IN #7

Here comes the unknown.  Confusion Topic isn’t particularly unknown. This is actually know to every living being on this planet, from a dog getting confused whether to bite you or bark at you, to a human getting confused whether to run away or be a macho (That is gonna end up at “Runaway” anyways). The real unknown is the option to pick from the two.  Every single decision we take will have a hell lot of options. We bring those down to two almost every single time. The option which feels Logical and the option which we get connected to Emotionally. A lot of people would suggest the simple solution of picking the Logical option. I used to be one of those. But, Neglecting the Emotional option is gonna eat your mental stability slowly. Yet, neglecting the Logical option is never a great idea (You all know why). You keep searching for a middle ground and will stop doing everything else. And, that’s even worse than dog biting you.  First point always to accept is, there is no ...
