Drawbacks of being moody at times !!

Being moody is something which I can relate with myself. I tend to be normal for a minute and then be totally hostile the other.I can relate that to being immature at times as well as a kind of in built system to flush out the frustration,anger and all the negative thoughts and feelings in me. 

People around tend to take things in their hands and feel that they can cheer me up, which in turn disrupts the process of flushing out and blocks the whole negativity in my mind. I am not sure how many of you do this way but be it in any form that you remove your tensions but if someone blocks that how does it feel !!! Thats exactly what happens when something of this sort happens to me . No two people are alike so the way they react, think and feel would definitely be not alike.

So guys if any of your friends may be reacting different than the way you might have reacted to a similar situation, then be cool with it and respect their privacy and do understand that no two people are alike... 

And being moody prompted me for this post , believe it or not......

Lonely mind is the playground for innovation

To be put in a place where you dont have too many friends and then to get oneself into the normal business mode is one heck of an effort. Something similar happened to me this weekend. Imagine yourself in a hotel room in a entirely new place which happens to be under snow and none of your near and dear ones to speak to. Thats when one realises the need to have friends, a hobby or a vehicle at your disposal.
This loneliness, I have seen has caused many a person to go to a depressed mode. To buckle under the pressure is normal, to overcome is awesome. Once you are feeling lonely try to go out and explore the surrounding even if it is freezing outside. You get to know more about the locality you are in and you start feeling more at home. Then the loneliness gradually start to fade out and then you start feeling at home and your mind opens up. This might be based on my personal experience more than a generic opinion but it worked for me. Do let me know your views on such stuff and also do let me know about your opinion and point of concern.

A new start, a new year

A year that ended on a note of violence,recession and controversies has now opened the door to a new year.
Welcome 2009 !!

Is it going to be a new year or not, that however remains the big question. It is time for the youth and professionals like us to rise above the daily politics of the workplace and think of something that we can do to change the world. Things that may not give one the much needed attention and publicity but something that would give the needy some attention and love.

There are many organizations that support such noble causes. I am involved with some such organizations like Pankhudi,Ekalavya Nyasa, SOFOSH. When you go and work with other similar minded people and try to do your bit for the kids then you realize the one thing that you were lacking. The spirit of giving and the love returned by the kids is so nice a feeling.

I had been associated with Ekalavya Nyasa for the past two years. I was unable to make it to the place every time my colleagues went there but I did try to go there as regularly as possible. Sometimes when you feel that things are going against you all you need is to look at the faces of these kids. Even with very few luxuries they are happy and content with what they have and what else they try to correct their mistakes and make an attempt to make the place around them a wonderful place to be.

So if they can do such a thing why can't we educated,earning and more financially better do something similar.Now it is the time to act. We should do whateever we can to improve the happenings around us to the extent we can change. Give back to the society and just wait and watch when the good things that you have done multiply and come back to you.

Believe me it is a heavenly feeling. In case anyone of you reading wants some information then do feel free to write to me.

Recession,Inflation,Depression

RECESSION -- The buzz word which one can hear across in the news daily whether it be in the News Channels or the Print media. One links this word to lay-offs, bankruptcy, cost cutting and shutting down of industrial organizations. So frequently has the word been used and misused that it has already created this kind of image in one's mind about this.

Agreed that this is a point of concern and serious matter. But is it worth the unwanted tension and worries that one undertakes ? Is it worth losing one's sleep over this, rolling over and thinking that when would one be without work ? An elite few go to the extent of proclaiming this as the end of the world .....

This is the time one has to gather all the experience one has and understand the actual meaning of the word Recession. According to the dictionary it means "a period of reduced economic activity" I do stress on the words period and reduced here. These kind of situations have come and gone several times in the past as well we must take some pointers from there and use them across now so that we know how to recover from such problems.

Regarding the hype created by the media is topic for some future blog entry though but sometimes we do get useful knowledge on how bad one's own country is affected.

I agree that India is affected by recession but not as severely as the US or UK. I am not an expert on economical matters though, but I can definitely say that this was a bubble that was due to burst. Couple of months back there was another nine letter word in the news INFLATION.The global crude price sky rocketed taking along with it the prices of basic commodities up. Now as the recession has come in the purchases made has gone down like the share markets and the inflated price bubble has burst and the middlemen who were making the most of the Inflation are hit as they have no one to sell their wares to.

To say in a summarized way Recession can be seen as a blessing in disguise as it has shown the true worth of everyone and everything and not the inflated value.

Being an IT professional myself, I personally feel that this is natural and one should take it in one's own stride and make good use of the time at one's hand. It is true that some of us might have lost their jobs or faced pay cuts but we need to think with a calm mind else we will end up doing something which we may regret later.

Like the other day myself and my colleagues were discussing on finding alternate careers for oneself just in case we happened to be laid off. We actually came up with interesting propositions like setting up puncture shops, garage, tea stall and many more such. Discussing these type of options especially helps one in appreciating the work you are doing currently and prepares you to face the worst. These type of conversations does help one in creating an open mind towards the crisis faced.

Instead of fearing the worst, you are in fact constantly finding an alternative and therefore feeling somewhat more comfortable with the situation. You take your mind off unwanted thoughts such as impacts of being jobless and reduce one's stress which would in turn make one more productive.


May be some thoughts of mine may seem wild but hey I am not worried about my future and am having peaceful thoughts. You may differ in your opinion on this topic and am more than waiting for your responses so that I can get some inputs from you and may be help you in a way or other.
