Take a moment to say THANK YOU!

We homo sapiens, meaning us humans! are the most greediest creatures on earth, we always want more and are often never happy with what we have. We desire, wish and crave for a lot of things which we feel will make us happy! but inside we are still battling and unsure if these "must-needed" things in life will actually make us happy.

 I was just pondering over this thought. We or our kind think a lot; about tomorrow, our past, our future, even our silly dreams and discussions. Let me list out a few thinks which i always wish i had and still try to make it happen (but i am too lazy and come to a halt half way through the line) like a flawless and fair skin, shining, lustrous and long hair, an athlete body structure (well, these are the few important ones, the list is endless)

Well from my list you can witness how much importance is given to my physical appearance. I care about the way i am presented before others (Well, this is the facebook era, i am positive that every one thinks the same and  no one is different). Check out the list, I am sure all of you will have had these few thoughts pass over your mind be it a "he" or a "she".
  • A body like Deepika's
  • Parneeti chopra like hair
  • John Abraham's 6 pack or is it 8 (I aint sure)
  • Christiano Ronald's Hairstyle
  • Kareena Kapoor's skin tone
Well don't consider the celebrity part of it but at least all of you wish for great hair, great skin and great body without doubt! And if you are gonna say "NO", then i will have to shower you with questions like: why do you spend a lotta time in front of the mirror, at the gym, at the parlour, at shopping malls and many more.

While thinking of perfecting myself, i also happened to think of the few unfortunate ones who are mandatorily separated from society in the name of " Physically Disabled". What do you think they will be praying when GOD send them into this world taking away half of their body parts and half of their confidence? Having to be born with lifeless limbs, defamed body, a mangolian face,ears with no audibility,eyes that cannot see, autism...

We simply do not have answers to why they were chosen to live this way? Why God sent them into this world for others to look upon them with empathy and sympathy?

I don't know! No one knows! God alone has all the answers!

So next time you ask God for a perfect body or wish for an awesome skin, devote that time to "Thank God" for sending you into this world perfectly without any imperfections. We have been very lucky and blessed by Him and never forget that somewhere someone in the extreme corner of the world  has paid the price for what you are now.

I said my Thankyou first! Contribute yours as well :-)

Just a thought my dear fellas, let me know what you think about the same!

Love yourself, love your body because you are perfect in your own way, high time you realize it!

Cheers to a happy life you are leading now!

THE NEW AGE STRESS RELIEVER

It has become difficult nowadays to not begin an office day without devouring the sweet juice of the world's latest, cheapest and absolutely free of cost  drug- facebook. This so called e-drug is soo powerful that   surviving without it in this 20th  century is a hard task especially these particular days in a year,  365 days!!! I simply cannot find a reason why i should not log into facebook. The fact that this drug has something interesting to offer or rather our hope of finding a new post, a new pic, or any new update, notification, message, friend request makes you want to glue yourself  to this drug 365 days in a row.


 But i cannot complain, the medicine does work its magic on all office days, it is purely a stress reliever if not a pleasure provider, a time pass agent, an inspirer, a friend and even a life saver at times. But sometimes office days does turn out completely and solely devoted to facebook even if you have work. But the sole idea behind that is to manage facebook, gmail and all your other favorites along with  work.

Now you must be thinking why take all the trouble? Why can't you just focus on your work and finish it off? On that note, let me ask you a counter question but provide me with an honest, honest, honest answer!! How many of you wake up in the morning with this thought in mind, "God! i have to go to that god forsaken place again, s***t humbug @#&*#@^&*!!" If you are doing the same even now, face this horrific truth- YOU DO NOT ENJOY YOUR WORK!

What fun or satisfaction do you get sitting 8 hours or even more  in front of the monitor pondering over accounts, photo shop, excel files, MS word, MS office, graphics, editing, writing and the worst one doing maths (yuck)!!! I do not see the fun part anywhere, all i see is work, work and more work. So if you have planned on replying me with this adjective seen in a lot of resumes (DEDICATION) then i think you are leading a very boring and dull WORK LIFE.

And see the irony of a dedicated worker! They go home in the evening and tell their wife and kids or  family, that they had a tiring day at work and was fully loaded with files and clients. Even if you are working in Microsoft, making your job enjoyable is your duty, no one else will do it for you. If you dont do it you are wasting your own precious time and energy. And to make work more interesting the most socially available and popular option that everyone chooses now is to be on facebook (correct me if i am wrong).

Sorry for those unfortunate ones whose company was smart enough to ban or keep an eye on the employees using facebook or any other social media sites!!!But do not think that we are full time on facebook, we know to manage our time (irrespective of all the time management classes the MBA's had) We know how to balance work and fun. Incorporating fun and work together makes your office day a better day i feel .

In the very limited 24 hrs you get in a day, 10-11 hours you have to spend at office including; getting ready for office,  transportation to office, office working time, getting back home from office plus last one the office hangover. So half a day you stay bored and work dedicately the other 8-9 hours you sleep that leaves you with 4 hours to spent with your family and doing other activity. WOW!! there goes your result for being a dedicated and hard working employee- a loooong boooooring life.

 Some dire hard-core facts about using facebook at office:

  • It is a true fact that you get to check, scan and lure deep into facebook during your office hours than when you are at home. 
  • You have the general tendency to talk to your friends more on facebook when you are at office and less at home.
  • When you initiate a conversation in facebook during office, all your friends will tag along to crack jokes, make fun and laugh at each other. That is the beauty of it.
  • Many of your friends think that we are wasting our time doodling around in facebook  lazying around and doing nothing !!! we are definitely not !! its just that we know to work the fun way and we do it in style.
  • You easily get your work finished with this thought in mind " after this, i will have a sneak peek into my facebook profile for a break"
  • I keep in touch and connect with my friends thanks to facebook at office
  • I will always be the first one to comment or like a photo or post (Just out of love for my friend and because i liked the post, i dont think it is very harmful)
  • You end up loving office days because its not work alone that you are doing you are also socializing and keeping your friend circle alive.
As the saying goes- you have only one life, live it to the fullest!!! (make sure you do!! dont make way for regrets people!! )
P.S: So to all my friend out there who think that i am full time on facebook atleast i am not invisible rather offline like YOU!! Plus i dont think facebooking is a crime to be hidden. So appearing online  doesnt mean i am facebooking just means that i know how to make my work enjoyable:-D

Let me know if you can relate this with yourself as well

Cheers to work!!!

Smart reading on Smart books.

Am I the only one in this world without this fancy piece of gadget called the "Tablet" by some and "iPad" by others. I used to wonder because everywhere I go, I can spot people using this sleek, slim and stylish electronic device. I can tell you, people do look smart when they sit crosslegged on a public transport with this smart piece of an invention that is now taking the whole world like virus! (Its tablet mania now all over the world), touching it and sliding their finger over it like stealing some yummy whipping soft cream or icing from the cake with a finger (I feel like that when i see pople slide over thier iPads).



 Each and every friend of mine are talking about, hey! i bought a new iPad! or hey! I need to buy a tablet or the worst one Which tablet should i buy? like how am i supposed to know, i dont even have one. All i have is a Blackberry that dont even have a radio...Some blackberry it turned out to be! No live music, no live commentory ....nothing!!. When i bough the phone, i dint have the brains to ask the guy if it has a radio instead i was basking in the glory with my heart almost to my mouth about the fact that , I am the sole owner of a BLACKBERRY now...hmm...no point telling that now, is there? Plus i have not even taken a 3G on my phone or activated my BlackBerry Messenger (BBM) yet. He he..I know what you are thinking now (Why the hell are you using a Black Berry if you cannot misuse (i meant misuse, not use!) the BBM right? I know!! I guess i am quite out of the world)

One i have a wi-fi at home so why do i need internet on my BB plus i have internet at office too. When i bought my BB a year back i had zero friends who owned one. But now i have plenty of friends who own a BB and me, very stingy and too lazy to activate the messenger. To all my pending invitation on BBM, i will be coming live soon:-) (Another shocking factor also, neither do i have facebook on my BB, how cool is that...he hee he)

Ok enough of me! so we were talking about iPads and Tablets! Yeah??

Yes, so bottom line all are attracted and captivated to this 'must- have' piece of "electronic book". Well, it's not a bad thing, the world moves and we have to keep up with it. But another important factor that has come to my notice is that 'smartbook users' use this device smartly as a BOOK. Yup! you heard me right, mostly people use it to READ. So proud of the countless number of people who read on their smartbook or Tablet or iPads. This age-old, popular, common hobby people often refer to has still not died with the arrival of fb, t, Lin,youtube and very many other social platforms.

Three cheers to all of you who still have the habit of reading ;-)



And all thanks to Apple, Samsung, Microsoft etc who have been grately successful in giving the readers the absolute look and feel of an original, handheld, hardbound book. Even if its electronic, a single touch or slide can give you  the  real look and feel of turning the pages of an original book while reading. That is pretty cool.

So even if i do not own a Tablet i am happy that the whole world is keeping up with the latest trends and also making sure that old habits and hobbies dont go astray by giving it the much needed prominence amongst this gadget plethora era :-) Still my BB doesn't have a radio:-(

Cheers to all readers, BB people, iPad people and Tablet peeps.... Keep rocking:-)

P.S:  I am so happy that i spent my office time writing this:-)
