Loneliness and Perspectives

Some of the most intuitive and expressive people I know need to either write or write more. It is a waste of some of the most brilliant perspectives otherwise. I am going to take it upon myself to get them going, simultaneously and selfishly enrich my thirst for inspiration, laughter and a different viewpoint.

On a tangential direction, Loneliness gives you strength. It makes you aware of your inner self and the things you are missing. That makes you reach out, take initiative and life your life the way you want to. Looking for company to do things you love is overrated. To do what you want, all you need is passion, enthusiasm and lots of energy, not a bunch of uninterested people. Having said that, if there are like minds, it does make things merrier. I am making my lists of the big and small things that I want to do this year and I am sure to make some progress.

So to all ye people, keep writing or do start at some time. Times are dreary and we need some fresh words and views to get us through them.

Do let me know what you think of what I think. It helps me quite a bit.

Hanuman Jayanthi's and Happy New Years.

A wee deliberation on a touchy issue which has been a consistent part of my thoughts, actions and conversations over the last week. April is a month of celebrations, starting with Ugadhi, Hanuman Jayanthi, Ram Navami and progressing to Vishu. M's disbelief in my awareness of the festivities and G's contemplation of a dear friends inclination to "Puja-Paat" spurred me to pen my thoughts.

To me, an individual's faith is a manifestation of his success, tribulations, hope, despair-the whole gamut of thought that resides in his head. He realizes his dreams, shares his joy, overcomes his sorrow, fosters relationships and makes his life a better place by placing emphasis on a higher level which could take different forms. Faith helps me think big, act wise, love unconditionally and keeps me rooted to the ground. I am eternally grateful.

Earn X, Work for 2X

I should record whatever my dad says. He has this interesting perception of conversation in saying everything he wants and then listening to you. More often than not, he leaves us speechless by his astute understanding of whats in our heads. It is a little spooky, but that is why he is dad.

We were discussing financial aspects of a position I was considering a couple of days ago, wherein my concern was evident. His take on the position was to accept what they offer and work twice the amount. Hard work does always pay, it could be in kind initially, eventually there is going to be a lot of cash and finally there will be a lot to cash in.

I am back after a sabbatical. I needed it. There will more writing till the next one.
