Live your day

When at 27, should behave 27 When at 18, should behave 18 When at 40, should behave 40 hmmm... sounds a lil odd to say, but true. We forgot that we behaved just our age till about we were 12 yrs old, and yet we grew! How come suddenly the equation changed, that behaving ahead of your age became kewl. Just imagine if you behave like a 10 yrs old, when you were 10 months old - hmm, the beauty of being a baby would have been lost. So, when I am 27 and behave like a 30 yr old, the beauty of being young is lost. When I behave ahead or behind my age, irrespective of how ppl percieve, we lose the charm of being at that age, at that time - a day gone when I am 27, is a day gone forever. I believe, somewhere along the growth path, we have exchanged the meaning of "being responsible" to "acting old" . "Being responsible does not mean acting old. Being responsible is being responsible, and thats imbibed over the years of life, upbringing, education, value system and fait

Appraisal

One word that really does not alter any thing in life, but sure leaves a few sign posts, and gifts those precious moments to take stock, look back, look ahead, whine, dream, crib, praise and importantly give a gentle knock, of what current "reality" is. Over my working years - I have seen, how this 'appraisal' thing works - seen people crash into reality, zoom off into self righteous oblivion, kill confidence, give wings to fly - all in all - it does something (good or bad being relative). As an apraisee , had some wonderful moments (all wonderful in their own truest sense), and have helped me move ahead (either leap further, or pull out from a dungeon), and the change over time was good. As an appriaser , had some wonderful moments too - helped build a few careers, threw off and cleaned some stuff, advice, help, reprimand , and mutually learn. So far it looked good, till, the way I see how this thing is handled at where I work now - One word - Appalling! The followin

Rules of the Market

You are a loser till you Win! Speculation is not reality What if - is the dirtiest word on the market How can - is ridiculous Patience is an absolute virtue - You don't have patience, get out!

Reward!

Somebody left a print of this on my desk - Informers to the author will be suitably rewarded. Girl friends and wives are meant to be loved, not to be understood!

And a new day!

The best part of a new day, is "new" ..where you can get past dark nights, and yester years - with a renewed faith that the day will bring in, it's share of joys, highs, learnings and its lows too. What I choose to do with this day, is there for me at the start of the day on a platter. I wanna take this day, as another gift-of-the-present , get by the past, not really killing today for tomorrow, and just be myself. Give myself just the way I am, and take another self, that's willing to just give what it wants. To Life - John

walking through the darkness alone there is a universe I've known shiny stars and beautiful sights rainbows I miss, amidst misty eyes, fading lights It wasn't that the universe crashed Its the eyes I miss, to see the same of what pain, and broken trust I wish, I wish, I wish Time had frozen no springs in desert no tears in heaven Yet we chase springs in the desert and theorise about tears in heaven Fallen down, broken, and shattered hope shimmers, spirit battered Yet, the universe spins it course pain, love and faith - never ending , their discourse walking through the darkness alone there is a universe I've known shiny stars and beautiful sights shooting stars, wishes I make amidst frights wading in darkness, a step at a time little innocuous one I am, before the great expanse, and the might one I bow in defeat, I bow in shame, next time Thy will be done, oh my Mighty one Love, where are you? Must lose the You, to get the “I” You get the I, don't loose the “you” Else,

Today is the worst day in my life - Never felt so shattered, so lost and so wrecked. From one moment of absolute happiness, to a moment that pushed me into the Abyss - I lost to myself! I only hope, cos some of the best things in life are not deserved, they are given. I received, I gave, but lost it all !
