Another day...

Another day.
Started with social event called wedding. Followed by bringing smiles to a few faces. Pure happiness is so divine that it makes me feel amazingly good to see it visible on anyones face.

Also had a small chat with driver on the way back. Interestingly the chat went into areas where i wouldnt really talk normally. Be it sachins ferrari or the drivers impression of Amitabh bacchan or Mercedes. What i observed in such situations was that putting a face of agreement in front of the driver helped me listen to more and more of his natural thoughts. Yes we always have loads to share and loads to show off in terms of knowledge. But at times listening to already known knowledge shows sweet ways of how things are actually transcribed by humans.

It tells you about their culture, their backgrounds, their pains, their joys. Discrediting the thought does not succeed in any constructive communication. Instead adding to the conversation in a non " I know better" manner helps. Most of the times the person sharing may feel the control of the conversation. However the fact of the matter is that with silence and listening you can control a talk more efficiently and make them more qualitative.

Yes in a general mood of not wanting to listen to some crap of some low lying driver who stays in slums and worries about ministers would be really boring. However the element of story telling truly changes the perspective of listening and surely makes one more satisfied in the process.

Yes its not always about listening, however at the same time, its also not just about keeping your stand to say since i am more educated and more richer than this individual, I know better. The profit is always of the listener and not that of the teller.

Anyways, another one of my chats with people of the bottom of the pyramid helps me understand the ways in which they exist in this highly complex mesh called life.

Hope you are coping up with the mesh steadily...or else just listen to some strangers story...helps you look at things positively.'

dawn to dusk of life...

As strong Amber sunlight breaks out at dawn...I wait patiently outside the airport bidding goodbye to my parents once again. Staying away for last 7 years from parents has a feeling of a different kind...and maybe the thought never crossed my mind that time has passed by in a jiffy....thanks to the "be practical...avoid being over emotional"  value your family ...being strong was always more important.  Everyday as the sun rises over the horizon life takes a new meaning a new dimension. But we stay oblivious to the change...because we are focussed into our lives, focussed on being successful or winning smaller battles. Growing up is so much similar to a day...starting at dawn with little or no idea of the rest of the world... And then slowly u get to know the world with more and more knowing u reach a peak a time when u think u know the whole world... Just like the sun in noon...and then starts the evening a pleasant experience where u slowly give into the sunset of life...

Around 8 days after i first started blogging....i wrote an entry where i pronounced my new journey.This is the entry Link to the blog entry . It was a new shine...a new spirit and ofcourse it all began with the purchase of something that belonged to me....my new phone.. yes i had bought a brand new phone for myself.It was a gift from me to myself...and yes it was completely bought by my own kadi mehnat...And guess what around 2 and a half years later i have finally shifted to a new handset...a brand new phone...a Nokia N73...another piece of technology has entered my life. But yeah i would firstly like to thank my old phone for serving me loyally till the end...so much so that its still working fine and i have decided not to give it away but keep it as my backup...it needs some rst now after how i have treated it. However on philosophical front it seems very interesting to see that at that time i had just started my new life...a brand new start an erase and rewind and even today as i ...

Parameters ..of success

-
the parameters of success are so varied and the way we look at them also create illusions which are not what we think or have thought of but what we see and endear to desire out of momentary outlooks and then the thoughts of wonder linger around just to deluse our journey to our existing preset goals which get lost in the mist of the new illusions..... simple honest goals disrespected in the mist of worldly influences and short definitions of momentary fame called success
