Work is life.....Not For Me....

When we were kids u know how we used to dream of building those super sonic jets and huge buildings and dreaming of having the fastest cars and so on. A lot of us dreamed of becoming engineers and doctors as well. That time we used to want that to help out the poor and help making the world a better place.
But once we grow up I guess the sense of that is lost. We start thinking on a different playing field. We start realizing that money plays a very important part. But how important is money. A lot of believe it’s the most essential commodity to have and without it we would be nobody. I guess that is true to an extent. Some of us get blinded with the thought of money and forget our initial start and how we wanted to go about it.
First we used to work cause we were passionate about it then the passion is transformed in to a money making machine. Where one works to earn more and more money and nothing else really matters. We put in more and more hours of work and by the time u know it the very people u earn for are the very people u spend less time with. Its strange u know I mean one way u have to work hard and earn enough money but on the other hand is it not important to be with your family. Its more I think to do with discipline where one has to keep enough time on hand to spend with the very people who have made him what he is today.
Work is important to everyone. Money more so. But what is life without any passion. What is work without any passion? And what is life without family and friends? Does money rule our lives? Where every action of ours is ruled with a prospect of money?
Why do we make work our life when work s just the means of living life whereas family and friends are life. How many of us spend more time with family n friends and less time with work?

Ones Desire, Anothers Agony

In economics professor Robbins had said, “wants are unlimited and resources are limited.” Every human being has a desire a fire a want and they do all that is there in their power to achieve that. Our wants never cease to end. They just keep increasing and that’s human nature. Something just never change. It’s been there since early man age. Where first he need to cover himself so there was skin hides then he wanted a spear then he wanted a mode of transport then he was lazy to do his own work so he wanted to tame animals and so on. Sorry for the history lecture.
When I was in school I used to always wish that it rained so hard that school is called off for the day. I used to keep praying for that. Then I went to college and the wishes changed I used to be like I hope I get attendance without actually attending a lecture. Then I came to work and I was like I hope it rains so hard that the trains are no longer operational.
U wish for things that are going to benefit u without realizing what it would do to people around u. I shall tell you about one of those episodes where I realized what I wished for and how it cased havoc for people around me.
It was raining one night and raining pretty heavily and I was like I hope the trains shut down. And they didn’t I went to work I was sitting next to these workers who must be traveling from really far localities to reach this workplace. And I was talking to them and innocently told them oh how I wish the rains would have never stopped and the trains would have been shut. And he looked at me and smiled and said Nirav I was up all night removing all the water that had come into my house due to the rains. And I was so hurt cause I wished for something but didn’t realize how many people would suffer from it. He was telling me how he let his wife n child sleep while he was removing water from his hut with a bucket in hand all night. And that’s the day I decided I would not wish for such extremities. I don’t know how many of Ur’ll have gone through this. Or experienced somebody else’s pain in this manner.
Lets make a vow guys let’s wish for others for once. And not for ourselves. For ones wish may be agony for another. Take care everyone. Keep smiling.

Is The Easy Way Out Destiny.....

Today I have decided to pick on a topic that I have quite a lot of knowledge about. In my 23 years I have seen this happen to a lot of people and me alike. U know relationships are pretty complex or shall I say we make them a lot more complicated than what they were ever supposed to be. People come into your life and they also leave at a given point in time. I have realized a lot of us have relationships where someone has come into our lives and left us after sometime without any warning. Its almost like they are on contract basis do what they have to do and then they leave. It seems to me that a lot of our relationships are artificial and that we take to them and make more out of what really is there. Don’t u think sometimes we make a person feel a lot more important than they ought to be. U know when u in a relationship say love for example u tell each other u are my life and I cant do without u and all. And then when the time comes to stand up for what u promised the fizz is all gone the roaring tiger becomes a meowing cat. Its almost as if we work on our convenience. We all have our personal agendas and we stick to it. We don’t really realize how empty those promises are till we don’t go through this phase. U know whenever one is in a tight spot there are 2 ways to go. The easy way and the hard way. Easy way is to do the practical thing and listen to your head. The hard way is to do what may not be practical and maybe against a lot of the majority and listen to your heart and doing that. We as human beings take the easy way out. Its our tendency its like why should we take the hard way out of this. Everybody hates to struggle everyone is looking at the luxurious option rather than the sweating it our option. Then after all that is done we sit and tell each other yeah if destiny wants it we shall be together n blah. Its all crap cause in the end its up to u what u really want and how u want to go about it. Remember destiny may be pre written but that should not hold us back from doing what we want. Cause in the end we are the ones making the major decisions on the floor and not god up there in heaven.

An Eventful Day.....Or So I Thought....

Today my day was eventful for the beginning of it and suddenly became dull and dead. I went for a ceremony marking the beginning of my brother’s wife’s new shop. It’s amazing she was working with her dad for a few years and now decided that its time she starts off her own company and her own shop. It’s a great achievement and it was really nice to see that her dream was achieved. Its a wholesome feeling knowing that u have reached a goal u have set yourself. And the excitement showed on her face. It was really good. The shop looked great and its all set to start in the next few days. The shop is selling fabrics for curtains and other furniture in the household (WWW.APOSTROPHELUXURY.COM). That's the website to go to for the fabrics and all. Must visit it to see what it is all about. After the ceremony we had some snacks and then I was on my way to work. I am a diamond manufacturer and I also make jewelry.
With the American markets in the doldrums the diamond market is affected immensely and this is leading to a lot of companies making huge losses, as they are not able to sustain the ongoing phase. So well my work started at noon and frankly there was hardly anything to do. So I was just updating and working on my blog. Kind of frustrating not having much to do. Had a short day of work today before I headed homeward. Looking at the situation right now sometimes I wonder all the years I put into my training in my trade I hope it doesn’t go down the drain. So yeah that was my day today.
Good night everyone. Sweet dreams.

Goal Keeping

No I am not here to talk about the football. Goal keepers apparently are one of most important players when it comes to football. When they make great saves they are spoken highly off but it soon dies away. But when he makes a blunder he is spoken about on every channel written about in every newspaper and mocked by one and all.
We too are like goal keepers. When we do something good yes people talk about us and rave about us but not with the same intensity as they would if u made a blunder. Then u are world famous. At every opportunity u will be reminded of the mistake u made. People make sure that u never forget the mistakes u have committed in your life even though u really want to forget and get a move on.
We tend to always remember the bad phases, incidents or accidents in life but do we remember the good ones as often as the bad ones. I have an experience to share with everyone.
I was having a real bad phase when I started my work. Didn’t have a direction didn’t have any motivation and frankly no interest to do what I was doing. I was struggling and didn’t know what to do. I quit my work twice and yet in the end I came back to do my work. I am lucky since it’s my family business I can get out n come back into it. U know my blog says imagination rules the world. Well that’s exactly how it works. When u in deep shit you are mentally negative and pessimistic about everything. U imagine everything going wrong and u know more often than not it does go wrong. So I made a few bad choices when I started off made a few blunders back answered a few people. I paid the price for it. I got a lot of stick from people and I even got a tag of a time pass. As I was not serious enough about my work and used to keep joking around. Till date u will not believe it till today people remind me of it at my workplace.
Even when I started doing things right it took a lot of time for people to finally come to terms that I have changed for the better and that I am a lot more serious about my work. Its difficult though to shake off the tag that u achieve at the first impression. As I said we are goal keepers the blunders are infamous and the saves are just there like any other accolade.
This is the way life is, this is what people do. Question is do u want to be one of them or are u looking for a change in perspective?
