Life - the choices we have (or dont)...

What got me started on this topic was this entire helplessness that exists around controlling one's heart. i mean - life would be so god-damned simple if we could all logically decide who to love, what to support, how much to stretch, what all to feel (or not feel).

If we could order the heart to like or dislike someone or something - it wouldnt catch us by surprise. It would make life and its course fairly safe, simple and straightforward. Possibly even open up avenues of spending more time enjoying it than crying / screaming / raving / ranting about things not under control.

So then why does it all sound so boring to me??? Have always believed that the unpredictability of life makes it interesting - but is this really true? Isnt this just another way of consoling oneself when things dont go as per plan?

What would anyone do if given a true choice between the two - choose what your life should be like or let it come to you one day at a time?

How many of us will actually choose the latter? why?

Is the fear or boredom truly greater than the fear of uncertainity?

hmmm... i wonder...

Jindagi ke arth kuch badalte hain is tarah, Jaise samundar ke paas ki rait ki satah, Jab lagta samajh aane lagi hai jindagi, Ek aur lahar aati hai paheli ki tarah, Ab kya karein ham is jindagi se jirah, Mazza aane laga hai humein jeene mein isi tarah...

The day i became a Teacher!

In the often-fiercely competitive and insecure corporate world, very few people make a strong impact for one to acknowledge someone as a teacher. After all - in order to be a good teacher you really do need a good student. Someone with an open enough mind which can absorb the learning and then make it their own. Too many times we focus on the traits needed in a good teacher - maybe if we spent a little time on what makes for a good student, we will be able to push up the learning curve a wee bit more.   To make matters worse, hesitation and ego often comes in the way of actually acknowledging our own roles as both Teachers and Students.   One of my pet peeves at work has been that too often we all rush to blame the new generations joining the corporate world as being bad students. Not as often do we stop and think if the older generation at work (Us of course!) are anywhere close to being the kind of high-quality teachers we had when we were starting off wo...
