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

Sometimes its just about Girlfriends!

On one of those rare evenings when I finished my work early ( or just forced myself out of my workplace),all I wanted was to share some coffee and conversations with my girlfriends. It was just one of those days when no one else from my circle of influence would do..No husband,no family, no colleagues...No one! Just like that there are moments when all I'd want is my girlfriends  ( Sorry bouys!) I dont know what it is about sharing experiences and feelings with your closest friends,but it is deeply satisfying,like a boulder is lifted off the shoulders. Its not so much about meeting them everyday and sharing every tiny detail of your life with them,but there are things in your life that can only be expected to be understood by your girlfriends. Like a broken heart, like losing anything or anyone...yes,they do get it better than your husband/partner ,anyone. Your work frustrations, your mommy woes, your womanly wimps,your mood swings, your bad hair days! It takes a woman to ...

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 ...

Inside of me....it all ended

My soul died inside me, My heart exploded in angst, My body exhausted itself, My mind became comfortably numb. And all this because no one heard the voice inside, that was talking louder than the loudest speakers around. No one realised that yearn inside of me,that was seeking To fulfill it's desires.
