May God Bless Us

Read about Wasim Akram's Wife. Though I hardly watch cricket and don't now much about him. But felt sorry about the untimely demise of his wife. We all are aware of this bitter truth of life, that we all have to die one day leaving behind all our dear ones or we have to face death of our dear ones. But such an untimely incidence have more impact on our lives. So, I here pray for his wife that may her soul rest in peace and God give Wasim the strenghth to bear the loss. One more thing, May God bless us that we enjoy life till we are alive....

Stressed Out

Nowadays, I am not able to cope up with stress. or may be the lifestyle (late nights shifts, increased targets) is affecting me. I don't know the exact reason, but I've realized I can't take stress anymore from anyone including myself. When something goes out of my hands, I just leave it on God or the time. But still sometimes, my mind becomes clogged with so many thoughts, that I outburst on anybody or anytime. This is something, I need to control. I need to control my anger. Though, I hardly mess with anyone, but sometimes my friends or family become target of my anger. I know they care for me, but that doesn't mean I can take them for granted. I am working on it. May be I'll be able to handle it. Here are some tips, I found on web. If someone is in the same situation, read it. It may help you... Love, Ann

I AM Twittering...

Had been away from my blog for a long time. Though I have had enough these days, but nothing interesting to write on.

Now here is the latest update. I've joined Twitter. Sorry, actually I had joined it 8 months back, but nowadays, I'm regular on it. Since I hardly get time to write long details on the Blog, Twitter is another good option to keep all my friends and pals updated thru short messages. It's like an SMS service. Short, yet informative. So, those who've not yet become a part of Twitter are welcome to join my network. Looking forward to your Tweets...

Love,

Yaad Aayenge Ye Pal (Moments I will Cherish..)

So, after striving hard for targets and many ups and downs in our professional life, we finally got our rewards in form of a "Party in a Pub". Though I have studied in co-ed, spent some of my years in hostel, but the idea of going to disc didn't materialize. Anyways, our whole team was so excited. Nobody was in a mood to work. Everybody was planning like we'll do that, we'll do this and blah blah.

The party was in Suburbia, Metropolitan Mall, Gurgaon. We reached there around 8. In starting everybody was behaving so sophisticated, but after 10-15 mints we all got familiar with the place and then we started having snacks and drinks. I was not in a mood to drink, then somebody suggested that I must try Vodka with Limca. I thought I must try it at least once. Slowly and slowly I sipped the drink. And know what I liked it. Bas phir kya tha, I had another glass and started dancing on the floor. Everybody was dancing there. And for the first time I danced continuously for 2 and half hours. O.M.G, While dancing I was thinking, my energy level has increased. May be it was due to the drink. Then I had 2 more glasses. It was fun! Every body was enjoying. After having 4 glasses, I was feeling a bit dizzy, but I could feel what's going around me. I was not high.

Then we had dinner. Everyone was happy and enjoying. In short the party was great and we all enjoyed. That day was one of my life's best days. Everything seemed to be JUST PERFECT!!! Nothing fell out of place. And yeah I'll cherish it :)

Circle of Influence - Makes a lot of Difference

Another pleasant morning with new hope and positive energy. The moment I got up from my bed, first thought that popped into my mind was: O.M.G, I'm late, rushed get ready. I could not even grab a sandwich or cup of tea, my cab people called me up : "Maaa'm ! your cab is waiting for you". Within 10 minutes I boarded the cab. Meanwhile the vendor called me up twice to inquire whether I have boarded the cab or not? Disgusting, and then started the fight. He blamed me for late boarding and I blamed him for informing me late. In short, I was so pissed off after that whole conversation (As you all know, I hate fighting or arguing with people :), and really try to avoid such situations). But sometimes, you can't control other people's frame of mind and the way behave.

Anyways, So, I was so pissed off that I called up my support system, my best friend to tell him about the incidence (At last we all need someone to bear all our frustration). So, I called him up and as another discussion session, he told me about the concept "Circle of Influence". Some of you might be aware of the term and concept. But as I was not familiar with the concept he explained me things by taking simple instance. Like take one instance:

First Instance: You got up late >> left for office in a hurry >> bad roads and traffic jam made you more frustrated >> then you reached office >> did some mistake in task >> Angry Manager calls you to discuss your mistakes >> and it left you more frustrated ... And what's the end result, your whole day got spoil.

Second Instance: You got up 15 minutes before the regular time >> Got ready >> Left for office on time >> no heavy traffic jams >> reached office on time >> Delivered your tasks on time >> Your boss satisfied >> And rewards :) ... Result: At the end of the day, you are happy and content.

So, what's the difference? just by changing the habit of getting up 15 minutes before your normal schedule, made your day. This is the circle of influence where one event influenced the other and made a lot of difference.

Moral of the Story: We can't control other people perceptions, actions and behaviors. So, rather than worrying about things which we can not control like traffic jams, bad mood of boss, bad roads, we should look in to ourselves and try to find out what are the other options which I can go for, to make my life more easy...

Think upon it .. I know it's very easy to give "GYAAN", but difficult to implement it. But try and change some of your habits or look out for other options which can make your life more easy and interesting. Till then Enjoy the roller coaster ride :)

PS: Thanks to my best friend for introducing me to "Circle of Influence".
