Keeping momemtum ..

For a person who is totally time and work oriented, who values time more than his life, who see future and manage it to get things done on time, who hate sitting idle and gossiping, who prefer to show things happen than tell how it can happen - but not able to get enough time to prove his thoughts and actually act upon.

I am talking about person life before and after marriage. A person who believes and values each second of his life to be spent in achieving his dreams for some good cause. But not able to march ahead or basically feels slowed down just as is not able to act upon his ideas.

This happens when a new person enters in his/her life, marriage being a classic example. The couple "need" to spend more time knowing and understanding each other. It creates a sense of dependability which a time-conscious person may not able to manage.

I know a friend of mine, Raj who is a typical workaholic and used to spend most of time in office. His average working hours are 14-16 hours with just 3-4 hours of sleep per day. Hey, don't get me wrong, he was perfectly managing his and others time and an absolute go-getter. He got 7 promotions in span of just 3 years reaching higher position which his fellows would normally take 10 years. You give work to him and rest assured it will be done. Full of ideas, innovations, ability to come up with solutions and a perfect gentleman with no complacent.

The turning point came after he got married. Being "good and a gentleman" his time now got shared with his wife and relatives. In a matter of 6 months, the equation changed. He now somehow manages required 8 hours per day in office with actual work of 4 hours. He spends more time at home and taking care of his wife, relatives and home. As a person he has not changed, but was not able to manage his work and expectations.

A capable person in all regards is now fighting with time to get things done. This adds recursive effect and now he is not even able to do his own job (responsibilities assigned to him) leading doubts in his own (and others) mind. This went on for 6 more months and he is now in depression.

Even though he discusses everything in detail and explains his role, responsibility, future prospects, better future of his wife, earning more money and respect, etc etc providing clear picture of benefits if he is able to work with full concentration and enough time (at least 8 hours per day) to his wife, but it is very hard to understand for others. Result? He started finding himself alone and in depression.

This is not a new story, but quite common for people who are not able to manage work and life. It is very easy to be an ordinary man, but there are people who are meant to be extra ordinary. If those attempts to live as ordinary man, they just can't!

Janne Tu Ya Janne Na...

When do you know that you are in love? Well, its really hard to tell the truth. Most people do not know that they are in love till they realize it is going away.

Sania Mirza

Sania Mirza.... name is enough to bring all the memories when she made India proud internationally in the sports of Tennis. It is really wonderful to see her in limelight and many such people who represent India globally.

It is not easy to be in focus all the time! Think of her going anywhere and see fans after her, whether it could be Wimbledon tennis court or a restaurant in remote place of just walking down the street.

Life is different when you are known and a public figure. One way it may disturb you being occupied by news, people and happenings sticking your name, but when you are playing for your nation - all pain is worth enough. Isn't it?

Serial Blasts at Bangalore and Ahmedabad

Hell to those guys who are into this business!

Its terrible to hear such news in India when cities like Bangalore and Ahmedabad are growing in all regards - business, culture, popularity and activities. But there are anti-social elements who are jealous of such growth and hinders normal people life by creating such chaos.

Sympathy to all the people who are suffered by this terrible event and hope that they will recover and bring normal life in place soon.

Instead of blaming or expecting government to perform adequate steps to stop terror and bring justice, we, as citizen of this country need to be more active, alert and do everything possible to help government meet our own expectations. Don't forget, government is made up of we people and so we all need to be actively involved in stopping such terror. We collectively need to ensure anti-social elements doesn't take over and win on our values.

Add life to your life!

I used to wonder why people blog and write about themselves on Internet. That actually made me read lot of blogs in recent time and was so appealing to me that i started one of my own! :)

I have no intention to describe what i am doing on daily or hourly basis (i found some of blogs like that, seems like an hourly diary, just to have more hits), rather i would love to write something meaningful (at least to me!)

Well, So this is an attempt from me to add some life in my own life! Hope to see people reading it (as it meant to be) and putting comments and spread some spice in your life too ;)
