One minute magical trick

Hi friends,

I was coming from Airport & taxi driver was an Indian. Here 90% of taxi drivers are from either India or Pakistan. Most of the time, I talk to them during the journey but this time he was different. Very quite, little depressed, more frustrated. Although he was driving very well but for the first time I found that this 20 minutes journey is so long for me. I tried to talk to him but he made the conversation so small that there was no room for next line. I was feeling so sorry for him & I asked about his work. He mentioned its going good. I was surprised to know if it's going good then why is he so sad & why am I so uncomfortable. I realized that his stress is making the whole atmosphere very stress full.

Its not the first time I have observed that people from our countries are under stress. I saw many of them in tram or train, thinking about something, no smile on their faces. Although I manage to reduce my stress level for an extent but I wonder, our people are living in such a nice country with all facilities & easiness of life but still they are not able to enjoy it. That's so pity. I understand that everyone has their own hardships in life but it doesn't mean that we lost our will and power to appreciate good things around us.  Recently, I learned a new thing (thanks to one of my office colleague). Now whenever I talk to a person I always bring happiness inside me, which brings smile on my face & eyes. No matter who is he/she but my intention is to start my conversation with a very nice and decent sentence like I am meeting my old friend. For example, whenever I go to swimming & ask for my entry tag on the counter, I always ask them about the day & how are they doing today. They feel so great & refresh and always respond me very nicely. Their positive & refreshing reply made me so happy & refreshed. This small one minute conversation always fills me & them with happiness & freshness. I wonder if our people can learn this small one minute magical trick then they can also cherish life and its beauty.

But as for everything else, you have to be conscious when using this trick. It reminds me a very funny incident. Last Friday when I was boarding my flight, I asked a male crew member about his day and work. As usual he got happy & with smile replied. Suddenly he touch me and said thanks a lot and have a nice time. By his expressions and behavior I realized that he is gay. Me & my friend laugh a lot after this incident & promise to be conscious next time. That was so funny.

I hope this small thing can help you in life. Take care...chau

Hactic schedule

Its not very common that someone appraise the hectic schedule but I do. This week was very tight for me as my boss is gonna arrive to get the status of our new project on 9th Oct. just two weeks away.

Let me tell you about my boss (Actually CEO of my company). He has a very outward personality & a big critic. I don't remember he admire anything in this world other than his belongings. Always treat us like we are a bunch of crap people doing nothing & but charging him a lot. Anyway I don't mind it till I am enjoying my work. After all this world is full of these people...

So back to the post. I found that I am eagerly waiting for my weekend & has planned it in advance. Normally I do not plan my weekends as there is nothing to do. But due to this busy schedule I got so many plans in mind that if I would have some time I can watch a good movie etc etc...I found sometime bad things make room for good things to happen. They give us the motivation & reason to do something good. I found that every one is going for a good coffee shop, pizza, casino, disc, pub etc on weekends & I never pay attention to it. I was wondering how these white people are so active at workplace & here is the answer. They enjoy their weekends in full & that keep them going for weekdays...Believe it or not but two days dose really works for next five days. 

BTW last week I went for outing to Great Ocean Drive. It was awesome.

I hope you will try to make good plans for your weekends to keep going on weekdays...This weekend we are planning to go to casino or a nice pub. 

take care

aau maau chau...

Work life balance

Most of the people, in our society, have forgot about work-life balance. Even I was doing the same till I got my first work hazard - my back pain.

I was very hard working & aggressive for my work but never paid attention to my life & health. In result, I end up with some fame & money but poor health. Ultimately, I can't enjoy my life even after getting all resources. I always wondered why English people left office at 5 & never work for weekends. But I guess I realized it in recent months. My physio simply told me that root cause of all your health problems is your work style. He gave a few suggestions & advice, which work for me very well - A complete revolution. I recently started many activities & trying to maintain my work life balance. Now I always leave my office at around 6 in the evening no matter how much work is left. I have joined swimming, Pilates, yoga, gym etc etc..to keep my evenings busy. On weekends I am going for outings just to enjoy the time. Now I feel that I can still complete my job & activities assigned to me and I am also enjoying the life in a better way. I have reasons to come home, to earn money, to sleep on time, to plan things.

I feel its very difficult to maintain the consistency for your routines but once you start doing it, nature will arrange everything for you. You will wake up early in the morning as you need to do some exercise. Before leaving for office, you will automatically pack you bag for swimming in the evening & plan things in a better way. You will start avoiding all unnecessary & crappy stuff around you and will try to follow your daily targets. I started meeting people who are engaged in these activities for a long time & they are sharing new ideas. I can't summarize the benefits of this in words. Only thing which is important is to start doing it, prioritize activities to add fun in your life.

It works for me & I hope should work for others as well.

Friends

Hi

Friends have a special place in your life. I am so surprised that a few friends are so close to your heart that they do anything to you, in whatever way they treats you, you still like them & want to see them happy. Don't confuse it with your beloved, Its all about best friends.
Best friends take risk to protect you & to support you. They are the one who are always with you. They will fight for you with any one & will be with you in every moment of your life. Just think about those moments when you need a shoulder
your folks spill out their frustration on you
your result is not as what you were expecting
your first crush cheated on you
you are going for your first interview
you are so confused about what to wear for your first date

Not only moments when you are upset about something but even when u r so happy & looking for someone to share it...
You bought a new mobile phone
You got engaged
Got a new boy friend/girl friend
You are selected for a job interview
Your brother marriage is fixed
Your first international trip gossips
Your first adventure in night when you jump out of hostel wall..

They are there for every good & worst moment of your life.

Irony is one day they themselves become a moment of your life or your life experience which you share with other friends. No contact with them, don't want to talk to them...a long relationship with all give n take fundas...all vanish within a second...But every now & then you miss your best buddies...their style..their good & bad habbits...the way they tease you..the way they cheer you up....moments when either you or your friend was damm busy but still call each other...
Wow I am so amazed that I had all these experiences in my life..Thanks to God & please bless my friends...wherever they are keep them happy...give them strength to fight & maintain smiles...

I know one thing...Friendship is the only relationship which we create by our own...no custom no formality no big bang...just friendship...

So my dear blog readers...If you really have your friends somewhere...please contact them and tell them once that u miss them...that will be tribute to your dead friendship... :)

I wish life could be a video game

Hi Friends,

Today I was thinking about life & video game. How we can have multiple chances to start the game again & correct our mistakes we did in the beginning. Sometime we feel so regret about the mistakes we did in our life.
But thats life...you will always get one chance to play it nicely. So the question is what are the best rules to give your best shot for this first & last strike. My Answer is You should be innocent & honest. Thats all it need...now whatever will come after that will be best of you. Every one can't be best in everything but there is something best about every one.
Life has so many rounds to play so many levels. It offers so many top up packs...some of them are useful while we miss others to complete one level :)
We get help from other players as our friends relatives but ultimately we have to cross the levels by our selves. Once we achieve a target or clear a level, we take a break & move to next level. If we did a mistake in the game then either we will get a refill to recover from it but if it's big mistake in the game then we have to continue the game with its side effect. No refills for it...
Some players get killed but most of them make it till the mid level at least. A few never miss any top up, play it wisely & keep themselves alert all the time but then sooner or later they get sick of it & try to leave the game. A few players try to play each level with honesty, enjoying the game & although they would not make it till the end but whatever levels they cleared, they enjoyed them all. I personally feel that they must get another chance to play.

Regards
