Coming of Age

We all do things according to our age, but there is a time when you are moving from one age group to other. Time like these come announced, you are in this zone of you can do in this age group and you over estimate yourself and then it hits you.. ..Damn i can do this anymore...There is sudden realisation I am getting old ! Its got nothing to do with you health (that always lets you know where you are nothing sudden about it)These are same things which Joey, Chandler and Ross realised in Friends episode when their college buddy was coming to town and they were ready to party and they soon found out that they couldnt!..may be its time to enjoy that coffee shop than that night out with friends..may be its time to buy a home than to rent..may be its time to look for future than to live for moment..may be..may be..there are so many may be's your mind and body lets you know..what you should be doing..hmmmm may be i am slave to uncontrollable signals from them...so listening to them its time i went to sleep after all its 10 pm!

First step and Gandhi

There are things you plan that you want to accomplish, and that plan stays on with you, you postpone and postpone until you forget about it, be it simple everyday chores or your future life decisions. Some times the consequences of putting your decisions may not be too favouritable, but they may be just. Things which your conscience deems right but power may think wrong are the most difficult to begin. In such circumstances the first step towards doing those actions determines the strength of courage a man possess. Being able to see the danger to blissful calm that might be brought about on oneself as a result of ones action and yet being able to take that first step is when fear is overtaken by courage. clearly this posting is inspired by someone whose first step was crucial enough not only to his fate but to the fate of the nation. A person whose thinking was as pure an as simple to be understood by millions of uneducated rural masses, but yet as complicated to untwirl the British laws making indians more rural then it was. So there I ask what was the first step he took and above that what drove him enough courage to take that first step.
Everyday of our life we make decisions, some hard and some normal ones. It are the one that affect our future that make us think twice about following up on those decisions. Clearly many dont follow those decisions, even though they know those are right ones about their future. It is here that Gandhi excelled, it was as simple as it can get for him. if it is right it has to be done, why worry about the outcome, if you know it is right. If there was one era I could live back to it would have been the time when he was alive. People think what would have happened if he was still alive, would we be living a different course as of today, would all the hunger, poverty and prejudices been removed from our society, I guess we all know what would have happened, everybody knows about it, after all everybody has a heart which tells what is right and what is wrong only difference is it is that first step where we fail to take, is what makes the difference to what we want to do.

Year of Change

Someone has said that 'only thing constant in this world is change' what can be more true than that. We come to this life with a bare slate of skill, we learn to crawl, we earn to walk, we learn to learn, and we learn and then we keep learning. It is this zeal to learn from each experience and zeal to to move on that separates people who achieve in life what they want to achieve. How important is this zeal to change the status quo can only be fathomed by the achievements man have achieved till now. Nothing is impossible, Walking on moon...exploring boundaries of impossibility have led man to achieve breakthroughs, but again this blog is about 'change'
This year is gonna be the year of change for life of this blogger, for starters i am joining new job in a week, in a new city. Its a important part of my future career, because the progress I am able to achieve will further cement my self confidence on my abilities. For starters from the people who interviewed me, it looks like they have tremendous hopes from me. somewhere in my interview process they are convinced that i can be the right fit for their high development plans. Am i nervous? No! I am only nervous for the fact that will I be able to achieve the standards I have set in my personal development. Will this change of job and my results from this change, further help me find my self? Every small creeps of undecidness about my abilities will be further laid to rest So is it possible i am overconfident? well that will have to depend on what confidence means? does it mean to know that your upbringing and your attitude provide enough faith to weave through puzzle of life and achieve your goals, then yes I am confident ..over? Yes! otherwise you wont have enough zeal to be successful.
Based on what my professors have said about me and what my previous companies owner and colleagues have gauged me, it should be interesting year to challenge myself to bring my self face to face with my self confidence and let my results speak.
Also it will be interesting year of sorts, will one year be enough for me to settle down, I dont know. Will be able to meet social standards which are being laid on me? I guess time will have to answer those complex questions. But I can be assured on one thing, time has told me to judge my judgments, so life.. I am here to challenge the complexities which may be thrown at me !
