Living on the Edge!

Living life to the fullest! How many of us are able to do it?? Hardly any and do you ever thought why is that?? For the last one year I have been going through the experience of a life time and learned a lot along the way. The most important lesson that I learned is that we ourselves only are the cause of restricted living!

We restrict ourselves for some godforsaken reason that we only half understand ourselves and simultaneously we try to understand ourselves from others perspective and so live a life on the precipice of  happiness and doom on either side of us....we keep on weighing alternates but never truly decide whats best for ourselves. The basic reason is we are not using our own views and thoughts, we judge things like, "if I do this then mom will say this....." or "I like it but I cant do it coz daddy wont like it" so where are we in all this??

This is the most common illness faced by the South Asian generations! We are brought up to be tolerant of others and accept everything that is being given to us. Unfortunately there are some cases like me where we use our own brains to decide for ourselves! There are certain consequences but I assure you they are worth it! We, the new generation are the trendsetters!

We believe in living to the fullest! Now when I see people my age or the younger lot I realized that our elders have done a great job in allowing us to be ourselves in a way that even if we are not exercising or are unable to exercise freedom in practicality still our imaginations and thoughts are free to take the flight! They are not rotting in our skulls!

So, now the question is whats next? If you ask me the next step is to take the leap! Living on the edge to me means taking risks and challenges and proving your worth. Make your life worth living and please take control of it!

Get up and get moving!

Do what you love!

Everyone in this world is working on one thing or another, yet are we all happy to be doing what we are doing? Is it our passion? Are we enjoying ourselves along the way?? After some research and analysis of human behavior I can safely say that 90% of us are not happy doing what we are doing...Donald Trump once said that "passion helps you do better" If you are passionate about something then you will be willing to go that extra mile, take the heat on, work long hours...heck you would even work when you are not suppose to work, and this all comes from with in you. If you don't want to do something yet you have to do it, you will but that would not be done with love and passion. You will do it for the sake of doing it. And that would never be enough! Find something you like or love in everything you do! Be it any profession, you can be a doctor, teacher, engineer etc.....find something you like to do in that field. and for all those young ones who are just starting up

Characters in a Team.......the fanatics

In my last write about the Teams and their dynamics, I shred my thoughts on the subject and after much discussion with my colleagues and on their insistence I finally am writing about the various characteristics of every team member. I don’t know how many of you have observed these characters in the offices but they are there, all you need is an observant eye and you’ll find them in no time.  To start of the one character that I have observed most is the Comedian. The senseless, mad and wild. This character will leave you feeling frustrated with your own self and you know why? Cause no matter how hard you try to put something in his brain, hardly anything goes in. He talks and talks and loves to interfere in everyone’s business. Sometime you will be in the middle of a very important discussion and all of a sudden the comedian will pick the thread of your conversation from the middle and will pass a comment which will surpass all logic and sense. On the other hand the inte

What's in it for the Mentor?

Recently I got a chance to act as a Mentor for young women who are entering the Job market or who find themselves in trouble in the Corporate World. I took the opportunity as a way of giving back the good experiences I have accumulated in the last 7 years. A couple of years back, i was very much encouraged by a colleague of mine to motivate young women in getting better jobs and sound careers, I thought I will do it when I am old and have nothing to do. Well, I was wrong. Now I can assure you that its not only beneficial for the 'mentee' but its also good for the mentor. Let's see how: Self Awareness: Over the time, we get too busy in the work and forget who we are. When a mentor is giving advise, he/she gets a chance to reflect on those early years of struggle and the experiences gained. And a person realizes how much change the time has bring in you. Motivation to do good: You feel humble, when another person asks for your advise and there develop a gene
