Afraid of an Interview?

'Brain messed, Eyes hooked, Hands frozen, Body shivering' ... Ever witnessed these symptoms on hearing that you have to appear for an interview.

Well this post is for all those who have their digestion choked off whenever they have an interview. They may try as hard as possible but can never escape it. Today, interview is an integral part of everything, may it be academics, job, politics or even the glamour world. We have to face it one day.

The key to all fears lies in your ability to converse with strangers. If you take it as an interview then you'll be terrified but if you convince yourself that it is no more than a conversation with a stranger you'll overcome all fears and face it boldly.

There may be even a panel of interviewers or you might even stumble once but don't worry just go on because you never know when you'll leave a mark on them.

You might screw up once, twice but you'll surely hit the target hard the next time.

Childhood Revisited

Yesterday I had some guests at my place. Their 3 year old daughter Khushi also accompanied them. You must be wandering why am I telling you all this.... Just that the time I spent with her was truly memorable.

She took pleasure in those small delights of life, which we overlook so often. The sight of a toffee in my hand, left a twinkle in her eyes which probably we would have, had we bought a limousine. Her every move was full of fun, happiness and pleasure. She really taught me the value of life.

Life is really too small to regret or mourn. Who know's what we have today may not be tomorrow. So live every moment of it. I know there are enough reasons to make us sad, but don't forget there are also, enough reasons to be happy about. It's on you to decide which reason you value the most. Let go off your past burdens, stop regretting on your mistakes, stop lamenting for people who ditched you..... remember you cannot change your past but you can truly make your future.

If you feel, a problem is too big for you to handle then leave it on god. Bible says, if god has made us, he would surely care for us too.

A famous writer once said : Only three words can sum up everything I've learnt from life "It goes on."

So you must also go on....happily...

A friend or a family?

Once I had to walk on a rope bridge. It was very high, I was scared. I saw my frnd on the other side and called him out for help but there was no reply . I somehow managed and crossed the bridge. There I was shocked to see my friend holding the end of the broken bridge... sometimes we think why our frnd is quite when we call for help . He may not help you in crossing the bridge but he might be holding the broken bridge for you ... just trust your friends in every situations, because they are your real asset.

We have heard often that friends should not be banked upon, but even now do you believe it? I guess they are our second family...

Not happy? Check out how can you curb this unending search for happiness...

How many times do we 'force' ourselves to be happy? We go out, play, sing, watch television and what not.... but rarely do we strike the right chord.

Yesterday's newspaper carried an article which really left a lasting impression on me. It talked of the different ways in which the Buddhist monks achieve peace of mind. When they sit for meditation, they sit for sitting & not for enlightenment. When they walk, they walk just for walking & not to arrive. No doubt in our culture, this may not bring us peace or happiness but a few gestures may heal our pain just in seconds. Did you ever try reconnecting to your own self, to your own soul?

If alone, try talking to yourself, recollect all that brings smile to your face, all that you want from life. Even a minute spent with yourself would give exciting results. This would leave you all the more motivated & happy. This may seem strange at first, but it would surely give that peace of mind which we may be looking for.

Are small misunderstandings necessary for better understandings??

Once a friend of mine explained me that in a relationship, which could be that of friends, siblings, boyfriend- girlfriend or any for that matter, the base is stable & constant. Just like a business cycle there may be peaks (when it is at its best) or troughs (when we have fight). BUT the base remains CONSTANT.



Many of us might agree to what she said but I don't think this theory always hold. Yes for sometime the base may remain intact but with incessant & repeated troughs it may even shatter. After all if you don't water a plant regularly it is bound to die. Just the same way if you don't nurture the plant of friendship, it is bound to break. The other person may understand you once, twice, thrice.... but one day his patience would end. So turn around before the treasured friend leaves you.
You must have heard " Relations are like a Book. It takes few seconds to burn but it takes years to write. So preserve them and let them never end."

Silence of Desire

Ever wondered the way silence turns a heated argument into a worthy discussion, the way it completes the relation of a mother & an infant. When heard carefully, silence has its own words, its own sound & its own impact.

Often my friends ask, why do we meet when you have nothing to talk about. How I wish they could understand unfathomable feelings, silence conveys. Not always can you explain or pen down what you feel. But somehow we always want our friends to understand us.

I think the relationship in which silence can be heard loud & clear is the most wonderful & treasured one. If we have even one such friend in our lives, its the best blessings God can give. Isn't it true?

Do we really know ourselves????

We often come across people claiming to know us more than anyone else does. But do you think they are right in saying so?

I feel most of our lives are spent understanding ourselves, our aims, our wishes, our outlook towards life etc. etc. & when we ourselves can't understand then how can others do? Every time I debate, I let my thoughts spill I get a deeper insight into myself.

Sometimes we may act so responsibly like a roof protects a house & on other occasions we may be as dumb as a kid. At times we may be so angry & short tempered & at other times we may beat everyone in the test of patience.

Do you really agree that we may describe/ cast ourselves into words bounded by their meanings like responsible, caring, sincere, hardworking, impatient, honest...I think they are tooooo small a description for a valueable person like us!!!!
