Fun---->Redefined and reloaded

If you obey all the rules,then you miss all the fun - Katharine hepburn,actress.
With the exception of gravity,almost all of the rules are negotiable.Someone just make them up.
Its no longer about what you can't do.Its about what you can do.

The above is the excerpt from the presentation that I came across today.Check the eight irresistible principles of fun in life for full dose.

Plethora of emotional medley

Iam very glad to pen the first blog for this year. I never dreamt of me publishing posts until few years back.May be because of the below assumptions / predictions that I had.

1) I may not have time for writing instead I would have time to take care of my home as a home maker.

2) I might have 1000 other important things to attend, 100 bigger problems to handle.

3) My profession pays me money and not ‘My Time’.

4) I will not be in a position to scribe interesting articles.

But right now at this moment I would say, me being a responsible daughter taking care of my home (I definitely know my dad wont be reading this page), Skirted by 100’s of problems but still life moving on, My job pays me ‘My Time’ since this being the Christmas-New year fiesta, My friends say that my blogs are interesting to certain extent.

I think the greatest charm behind our living is the suspense in-store for us.Not exactly knowing - where I will be the same day next year, the slew of cozy living that I may/may not get next year, the people with whom I share my joy and sorrow next year, the friends and colleagues around me next year, my emotional status next year.

Keeping aside all that I felt like writing this because I believe it helps me to unleash my emotions.

There had always been tight spots for the past few days when I had to speak in a different tone, in a different way than normal to some of the people who are related to me.

The phenomenon is as simple as this.

Ok…Now me being the main stakeholder and when I declare my decision to some of my so-called relatives or non-stakeholders , I get various kind of reactions.Some are happy.Some are not-happy,Some get furious,Some are neutral, Some overreact.

From my past experiences this “Relative factor” had always been a not so impressive/important/trustable coefficient for me. But having brought up in a traditional background,Iam liable to announce and get the approval from these folks for some important decisions that I make for myself. So irrespective of my likes and dislikes Iam in a position to listen to their reactions.The negative reactions do trigger me & I give it back instantly making it clear that it was only to inform them and nothing more.They stop reacting online and start the batch reaction (Pls relate this to the batch jobs of mainframes technology…mainframe guys! Hope you will know what exactly are the online and batch systems).Batch reaction will process voluminous comments and will involve lots of “How dares” and ‘How come?” and “How idiotic?”…Not instantaneously but in a daily ,weekly,monthly or yearly cycles.

Rightly said… “If you cannot convince them confuse them”…!I really dunno on what context this saying was uttered…But I like this saying today.But even confusing people around you swallows your energy and time.

People differ, the environment surrounding them differ, thoughts and ideas differ,Priority differ, Expectation differ, the good-will bond that they have on me differ,The depth of knowledge and idea that they have about the future trends and society differ,Degree of exposure to the best way of living differ And so are their REACTIONS…

No one can offend us without our permission isn’t? ...

I sincerely hope and pray that things progress and shape out well soon…

I wish all my friends a very happy and prosperous new year!
