Connecting the dots. . . .

It only hits me back, eventually.

It’s quite cool that suddenly some old friends started to get in touch for a while, thanks to the social networking tools available. Great to hear from friends whom you never hear from since eons ago. People need people and that’s a fact.

Met my programme mentor today after lunch, it always feels inspirational to hear first hand experience coming from someone who has made it to where he/she is today. I enjoyed all those tips shared but truth be told, this sector is a ‘crocodile pond’ and I ought to be prudent in all things and decisions I make in future. It’s dynamic and fast paced, I am really fortunate to be surrounded by forthcoming colleagues.

Tons of people might be posting TGIF related comments right here right now, but still, TGIFFFFFFFFFF!!

:)

what do you do if you know how long more you’re gona live?

what do you do if you are told that you have just 10 more years to live?

wouldn’t it be great if people could live forever for the good reasons?

we complain about just everything in life, argue over the smallest issues, envious over the littlest things, overly concerned with aesthetics and fame. but all these come to nothing eventually if you come to know the duration left to the end of your life because nothing else matters. and at that point, you cascade down to the lowest point in the famous maslow’s hierarchy of needs where you will only  be concerned with survival - absolutely nothing else.

so, don’t waste your life away.

Lunches at home will be badly missed… For I know when work kicks in, I will have lesser time spent with my mom. I am glad I have made the best out of the past two months spending time with her though it was a slack period.

I will also miss the afternoon nonstop MSN chats with melssa :) Probably MSN and internet is out of the question in my office!

:) out. and hello world.

The excitement or burden of living probably derives from determining whether we have made the best shots as we live through time. We never know the outcomes of any situations till we are there. That is the tricky part.

I have seen and heard attachments and detachments, stirring happiness, emotions and frustrations. They all happened to the people around me including the closest one. You never know what would bring you with that step you take. For a million steps ahead, it is unclear and blur. I guess one has to believe in that step and hope for the best because that is the only way.

If it does not turn out the way you hope for, never lose faith, for things will only get better if you have.

We are dying every second, do not live in your past, invent tomorrow. :)

It is a shame that sometimes one is just unable to express an appreciative gesture when everyone around thinks that it is just so natural to do so.

Is it that of technology that the younger generation nowadays is finding it increasingly difficult to express themselves? Technology, that drives social networking, which, is also probably driving emotions and expressions to the point of extinction. Or there might be other reasons involved? Like familial background, personal experiences?

We are not perfect, the human species is not. Nothing is. But do we want to be perfect? Yes, it’s obvious, isn’t it? In terms of wealth, of status, of possessions, of influence, of power, of persuasion, of aesthetics, of everything else except nice gestures. Nice gestures, that’s it, no better way to term them. A nice gesture of appreciation, of gratitude, of politeness. It sounds easy but it seems like these nice gestures are increasingly becoming absent these days.

In this noisy world, this seems less and less important. Speed, convenience, and comfort overshadow everything else including warmth that comes from politeness. It is a shame.

And incidentally, a national customer service survey findings was just released yesterday, and I guess this is one of the reasons why.

:) just my 2.5 cents.

Out!

A new phase in my life begins two weeks from now. The situation has changed completely as compared to the one six months ago. The transition from school to work, I believe, is going to be uneasy one in all sorts of manner. I have heard too much as well. But well, nothing is easy.

And, a new working life is not all just about the job. It’s something more than that. I feel at ease when I anticipate and imagine myself juggling matters of family, relationship, friends, and work. It would be too optimistic to claim that it will not be a problem. I rather be realistic and focus on doing the best I can.

2010 was a good year, while 2011 began on a good note. I am realistically hopeful and aspiring for more. I am one of the last in my social circle to get a taste of working life and I can’t wait. I still remember I felt like a ticking bomb which was waiting to explode when I saw my friends getting their jobs six months ago. I couldn’t wait to take my first step in my career.

:) 21st Feb.

I am not very certain about this but I am close to confident that I have never once commented that my life was boring to begin with at any point throughout this 25 years or so. Because I believe there is always someone else who is less fortunate to be able to enjoy few of the things which I have the opportunities to do.

I chuckle at times when I hear people mention words of boredom. I know of people who never once get a chance to step out of the country and finding it hard to survive in this environment. Perhaps I am digressing, maybe I am not. Or probably, I am easily contented in life, or lack adventurous inspirations or something else.

Are most of us becoming increasingly difficult to be entertained or be contented?

The murmuring of boredom seems like we still haven’t really quite appreciate the things around us. Do we prefer dramatic experiences? Well, for sure, I would choose not to have some of those which I have experienced before if given a choice.

Whatever it is, boredom is something that is unrelated to my life.

:)

Ears are yours, mind is yours :) that’s the key.
