There is not much to say.. How easily we say this statement... How is work? How is life? How are u? How is your son? How is your daughter? How is your new car? How was the food? How was the party? How is the project coming up? Ever asked any of these questions to any one u know? i am sure you would have.... The answer would be one of these mostly: 'Yes, going on'.... 'Hmmm.. okay....' 'Good..' 'Great...' 'Fun....' 'Cool....' 'Fine...' If u notice, most of these will not take more than 1 minute... and the same question is posed back to u.. and u also answer one liners... There are no open ended questions, no discussions apart from work. It is not because there is 'NOT MUCH TO SAY' but because there is 'NO TIME'... people rarely say that there is a problem, because it will lead to a question and answer session where you have to talk and waste time... this leads to unfocussed , troubled minds, which means more of loss...

That is the last line of the book 'Veronika Decides to Die' by Paulo Coelho. Finished reading this book last evening. Book Glance: A gifted individual commits suicide just because she is gifted with everything she wanted in life. There is nothing interesting happening in her life, or so she thinks. Since she is just bored with life, she decides to 'call it a day' to Life. She proposed and God disposed. She is saved and as per the country's norms, is admitted in an asylum for 'recovery'.She learns from the doctors that she has very short time to live on earth. Apparently,the unforgiving suicide attempt caused a serious problem in her heart. While she was there, she comes to know more about life and comes to accept the fact a little too late, that 'Life is a Gift'. Insights on my mind from the book: Life is a Gift. Life is not as problematic afterall, as it seems to be. Live life to the fullest. Find yourself and Be yourself. Love yourself. As you wake...

After carefully reading through my article on 'Mr.Right', one of my friends actually suggested if i would some day write an article called 'Miss.Right'. Not a bad idea... Let me try... Who is this Miss. Right? Is she the kind who is honest? knows to differentiate Love and Friendship? can trust people once in a while? can come out of a shopping complex without shopping for a rupee? can cook a nice meal for herself? can understand that career comes first for the 'Guy' of her life? does not complain when a preplanned outing does not happen because of the spouse's work load? can sacrifice her career for the family? knows when to stop crying? can talk when she has to? manages to stay in touch with most of her friends well past college years? can vent out her emotions? knows that it is okay to forget appointments? can stop bothering about her looks? can stop advicing? can take life easy atleast once in a while? does not spend on stuff toys and dolls? can accept t...

Life presents you with Problems along with solutions... Just as you have more than one way to solve a question in an examination, every situation in life also has more than one solution. Exams require preparation while Life does not give you that allowance.As it happens, you are forced to expect the unexpected situations in life and live through them to clear the exam of life. We also term it as experience. So when u say, I have a good experience in 'this' field, it only means that u have been through enough problems and are confident enough to handle any such problem, if and when it arises. Coming to think of it, we all feel good, if our job resumes state 'Five' years of work experience. Surprisingly, we don't feel good at all if we are faced with a problematic situation outside our 'work'. Our immediate tendency is to feel lost and disturbed about it instead of taking it as a positive challenge. For all you know, in the RESUME of LIFE, it probably will add...
