Just for a Change

While in school,we had to read a  proverb everyday after prayer saying "THOUGHT FOR THE DAY".When it was my turn, I was so disinterested to do the job that I let my mom choose one for me, and the one she went for is "CHANGABILITY IS THE ONLY UNCHANGABLE THING IN THIS WORLD".Sounded pretty complicated(I mean even now it does ;) ).Forget about getting the meaning right , it literally took me a couple of days to pronounce it right. Considering my age and maturity level my english teacher chose to keep the explaination short and sweet  when she was asked to.

Here it goes."Change is inevitable.Growing inches taller,pounds heavier,shades darker is all change.You cant avoid it,this is what the quote means", she said.(Here I must confess that at that stage even half of this simple version bounced ;). What a dumbo she would have thought of me:( !!).

Its been almost a decade that I've passed out of school.Now I feel ,change is not always inevitable.Sometimes we choose to change.Again there are people who are crazy about changes and too very open to it(They keep changing cell phones,bikes also gal friends;))and yet another category of people who are phobic to changes.(I fall in this very category having not even changed my hair style from the past five years ;) ).

Universally accepted that people phobic to changes have to get flexible when it comes to changes and thus no more debates on this.Now coming to the counterpart:
Change is healthy but what we change and how frequently we change is truely important.When it comes to big decisions like change of work place, place of stay or even bigger things (which i might not even be aware of) ,we really need to take care.

Typically when we are fed up with the our current status we get an impulsive urge to go in for a drastic change.We fail to realise that what we are actually in need of is the change called A BREAK not A MIGRATION.

For instance when we are bored of eating chapati's at home we order for a pizza.This does'nt essentially mean we are C/O dominos or pizza hut forever.Similarly if you are bored of work take a long leave,instead of changing the job unless its too crucial.We can quote numerous examples depicting a similar situation.

Change is that only thing that we encounter in every walk of life right from womb to tomb.While beware when you are opting for a big change coz not always in the journey of life you get to apply the reverse gear or press Ctrl + Z.

Still figuring out changes and its challenges

PS:After drilling about like 500 words on change,I think I will have to go for a change with respect to my blogs;). In my next post i will surely try to post some spicy stories ( may be my own life stories but then just for formality claiming that its a fiction ;) )

1 Step short of Perfection

"How is Life?" is one of my favourite questions I ask people whom I meet after quite a long time & sometimes people I meet frequently even.


Surprisingly,the happier lot come up with a common answer saying"Life is perfect BUT FOR .........." & it goes on.The "BUT FOR ...." will follow a wide range of unique explainations on what makes their life 1 step short of being Perfect.
It goes something like this....
"I have like the best colleagues at office but then my boss is such a *******"(Now filling those blanks is left to your imagination creativity or may be even vocabulary ;) )
 "My Science exam went Perfect but my teacher cut 5 marks .God!! she is is such a *******"(Again use your talent to crack the word .Even school kids use words that need to be sensored like this now a days;))
And then...
"I think I look perfect but for those extra kilos I need to cut down to look trim"
"My new college is perfect but for the fact that all my friends are put up in another section".

Well Its human tendency to worry about what is imperfect & why is it so.By the time we are done handling this imperfection there is yet another imperfection that would have landed at our door step.One question we need to ask ourselves is "IF LIFE IS PERFECT ,THEN WHAT NEXT?".We would practically end up being aimless.Its this imperfection that drives you to work out and cut down those extra calories,go ahead and make new friends,work harder and prove our metal.

Its ok not to get all you desire.The struggle of battling with imperfections is all what LIFE is about.

Live life king size
