Change - the only constant in any equation - LIFE.



According to the world's best teacher, everything does not remain the same and the essence lies in not remaining the same, for better or for worse. Anything that stays the same for long either becomes stagnant or turns out to be an addiction. This teacher of mine taught me that it is an art and there are no masters or leaders at it, only beginners and followers. An art that can make a world out of nothing or nothing out of the world. An art which is seldom taught but definitely learnt by one and all. An art which can turn the tables upside down. An art called CHANGE.

As a kid I always wanted to change the way people around looked at me but could not help doing much about it. With the kind of ways that I chose, it was but evident that people around would surely consider me an insane nut with few loose screws here and there. Pity. Every now and then at School and College I wished for a change in what was being taught to us as it was like trying to learn something which I was not sure will be of any particular use to me later or even if it were, how and where would I be using it. Guess every one of us might have been through this phase. It still doesn't make sense to me why 2 and 2 sums up to 4. 

There were times when I felt that everything, every single thing around me needs to be changed for good or for worse. A phase where we all believe strongly that CHANGE is the only CONSTANT in any equation. Tried many ways or at least thought that I tried but all in vain. Could not change anything. Kind of like became my resolve to see some evident and obvious change around me. But I guess it was meant to be. 2 and 2 can never sum up to be anything but 4. It got me even more worried when I came to know of specific courses designed to master change management. Left me wondering how could someone teach us managing something which is uncertain and not in our hands at all.

After a nearly successful stint with education when I started working, I knew for sure that implementing what I learnt all through my education would not be the same as what I learnt. It was bound to differ, also because I religiously thought that the ones who wrote those concepts were no way linked to those who worked on them. And no two individuals can think exactly alike about everything. And from then on things around me went on changing some for good, a few for worse and the rest not exactly sure. Had started loving what I was doing, was spending time at work and not whiling it away like earlier, got to spend lesser time with friends, fewer movies and outings, fun meant hanging out with my team mates, got excited at a silly idea at work than at Mahesh / Pawan's first day first show and many more changes.

When I look back, I suddenly realise that so much has changed around me, so much within me, most of it quietly without any sign. And now I understand, change that happens around you is not as good as the change that happens within you, change in the way we perceive things, change in what we think about people, change in how we react to situations. Guess this is the world's best teacher's way of telling us that Constants matter the most when it is least expected. So now it is not about changing the world, my country,  systems prevailing around me, my folks or anything for the matter of fact. It is just the change within that makes all the difference.

To the world's best teacher called LIFE - I promise to complete the equation with Change as the only Constant.

A Religion called TECHNOLOGY

How many of us understand our religion let alone following it religiously? None. Now that was way too easy. Most of us actually get irritated on the name of religion, yes, you read it right. IRRITATED. Might be because it's so complicated to understand and more so to follow. Yet, there's a strange thing which I have noticed. A special religion which we keep following while we study, play, work, dine, gossip and even when we need to communicate to one another. A religion which we follow sub consciously all through the day and can't do without. A religion, called TECHNOLOGY .  A religion is a set of beliefs concerning the cause, nature, and purpose of the universe, especially when considered as the creation of a supernatural agency or agencies, usually involving devotional and ritual observances, and often containing a moral code governing the conduct of human affairs - Wikipedia says it.   We don't wake up to the tinkling of our Mom's Bangles, we don't g...

7 TIPS TO MAKE JOURNALING A DAILY HABIT

Habits make us what we are. True that. Many of us are familiar and are probably experts at writing a Diary. In fact any one who has ever tried maintaining a diary at some point of our lives are all potential writers according to me. A diary is the only place where we can put out our thoughts without deliberation, where we can shout out loud about our inhibitions, where we can mention our fantasies without hesitation. I have too many lovely memories of writing a diary. My day would start and end with it. And one thing that would always find place in it on any given day was my love for Prem. Had to stop the habit as it turned out that people in my family got suspicious that I would someday elope with a guy named Salman Khan. I know, you must be having a laugh at it, but back then it was a little serious, not to forget that I was just 15 then. I never got back to that habit again. Yet, he remains my eternal heart throb till date.  Thanks to the advent of technology and our friendly so...

भोलू का सपना

एक दिन ऐसे ही जब भोलू की आँख खुली  तो उसे लगा जैसे उसने कोई सपना देखा  उसने कोई सपना देखा सपने में अपनी माँ को देखा  माँ बोली जल्दी से उठ जा भोलू सूरज सर पर हैं  नहा धो कर तैयार होकर पढ़ना भी तो है  पढ़ना भी तो है फिर मित्रों संग खेलना भी है  भोलू चौक कर माँ से बोला पढ़ेंगे कैसे हम  विद्यालय तो  बंद है और न कोई अध्यापक है  और न कोई अध्यापक है तो उठ के क्या करू  इस पर माँ हंस के बोली मेरा हाथ बंटाएगा  धुले कपडे सुखाएगा तो गणित की गिनती सीखेगा गणित की गिनती सीखेगा और जल्दी बड़ा होजायेगा  भोलू ने फिर अचरज में माँ से पुछा खेलूंगा कैसे  मेरे मित्र तो अपने अपने घर पर है कोई नहीं बाहर  कोई नहीं बाहर तो किसके संग खेलूंगा मैं  इस पर फिर माँ हंस के बोली चल नए मित्र बनाये  आसमान के साथ पतंग उड़ाए और नदी के संग तैरें  और नदी के संग तैरें फिर थक के घर लौट आये भोलू की आँख खुली तो देखा माँ कपडे धो रही थी  दौड़ के गया और उसने माँ को अपना सपना सुनाया  माँ को अपना सपना सुनाया तो माँ हंस के बोली  अब उठ ही गय...
