Build and grow stronger with Time

Time is of essence in every aspect of our life. Some things take a long long time to bear fruit and some things happen in an instant that we are left at a loss of words. Birth and Death are glaring examples of this. Maybe extreme but again they are the basis of our life. It takes 9 months for a baby to be born in it's full capacity ,but death ,it comes instantly irrespective of the fact that one has been terminally ill or suffering from AIDS. When death comes to such people also, it takes away life out the body within a few seconds.
To use this perspective in real life, we have seen that to build something that will last ,something that has to be solid from within it's soul,takes a long time to build. A banyan tree that cannot be shaken by an individual has taken 100s of years to grow as tall and big as that.Similarly a bush or a shrub that grows quickly does not survive more than a few months, a couple of years at the max. 
Therefore in our life, if we have to build on anything, be it a relation, a company, a job,it needs to be given time and quality time at that. Wanting everything from life instantly-whether it is love, work,money,fame-has become the norm in today's world. Maybe it is easier today that it was a couple of generations ago. But all this instantly got fame and fortune is also leading to a huge amount of depression and destruction. The reason could be that it has been gotten through ill-balanced means,where in order to get object A ,object B has been ignored,so on so forth. So by the time you reach the point of achieving object A, the emptiness is already creeping in that you missed on the B,C,D etc.So then again the focus is lost on achieving A and moves to others in the series. So A ends up becoming a shrub only, rather than becoming the banyan tree of your life.
It may sound confusing , but here's what I am trying to say. That if you want to build Banyan trees all your life, each of them will require the essence of your life-Time. The question to ask is would you be satisfied creating just one Banyan Tree and a few other shrubs and bushes or do you want to create all Banyan trees or would be happy with a garden full of shrubs and bushes with no Banyan tree.Cause remember, creating banyan trees requires huge amounts of resources of time,energy and patience.
There are many examples around us of people who have created only Banyan Trees and those who have done a little bit of both. I would not like to name anyone here. It would be better you find your own examples of such people to take inspiration as per what kind of a garden you would want to create.

P.S: Decide what you want to wear the next day, on the previous night. Saves the confusion in the mornings as well as helps in decision making in the long run.Dont trust me? Try it for a week

Confusion and Creation

So there is confusion and then there is chaos...none of which leave you feeling any better than you already do... Confusion is about choices Choices is about taking decisions Decisions is about clarity Clarity is about thought or thoughts Thought is about confusion. So if you have thoughts...you will have confusion and chaos...but what may-mind you the word is "may"-not lead to it is the fact that you can choose your thoughts. You can or atleast may want to decide that what you want is peace and bliss; therefore it may be prudent to avoid negative or multiple instances of unfavorable thoughts. So if you want a happier, confusion and chaos free life...simplifying matters that lead to lesser choices and options is one route that can be taken. The other option is to be able to wait it out...be paitent.If you have that virtue in you or you can find that within you, to be able walk through the jungle till you reach the highway then it can lead to some fantastic revelation...

A late starter

I have late at starting almost everything in my life and this blog is no exception.Anyone reading it is questionable,but its just felt like something I had to do for the longest time. Two-thirds of this year has gone by and not much has happened as per what I had in mind on the first day of this year...in almost all spheres of my life. Everyday seems like a struggle to get ahead and since it seems so overwhelming, I am more and more at the same place and position.Status Quo! So what have been trying to do,change,achieve ....Personally- definitely more peace, better relations,to be a better mother...the usual- you get the idea,right? Professionally, trying to pick up the pieces from where I had quit and trying to build an organisation which will be about my values and my aspirations. Strangely, the more I stick with the values and aspirations, the more I dont seem to take my entrepreneurial journey to a destination. I hope to write more in the coming days about t...

Don't sweat the small stuff.

Anyone who has been at this age milestone, will more or less agree with my non-sweaty things that I am about to list below...Well and if you dont then you either havent reached that milestone yet or we just agree to disagree then- Orgasm is overrated! (It is!) You wont have it every-time you fuck someone! Lets just say there are other ways to get one as well! Does Not matter if you didnt get their name ,right! Apologize , Flash your most Gracious Smile and Move On.. Never mind if you didnt get invited to the hippest party in town! There is always the next one.. Your Mom/Dad not proud of you! Well..it does not matter in the end, as long they love you and you...  Your hair cannot be pretty everyday, even if you are model or an actor...You WILL have bad hair days. Get over it. You WILL spill that tea/coffee/wine on your blouse/shirt/dress just before the important meeting/interview /date. Make a funny story about your clumsiness and carry on with the meeting.  You will ...
