Talent-less toy

She asked her mommy to look the toy

Which the salesmen showed in coy

The toy was average not that great

He doesn't have flickering eye

He doesn't have mimicking effects

The body was unshaped

The cloths were old

But still the toy

Was waiting to be sold

He can't run, he can't fly

He looks ugly when he cry

Everything he tries to cover

But nothing about him impresses others

After looking for sometime

Her mom asked

Do you want that toy?

She rejected the offer and

Start her search for toys again

The toy was placed in box again

I felt pity for that talent-less toy

Until I find that I too was a talent-less toy

  

Even out the odds

After a long session of desolation, finally a ray of hope arrives! It is always a beautiful feeling when you realize that the odd times are out and you can now make fresh beginning. There are many in the world who finds it extremely hard to overcome with the trauma and they try to resist the change. Unfortunately, they cannot resist the change. I was also in that category and I was trying to fix the issues to continue with the existing life but all my effort ended without result. 

Failure does not cause any problem but the feelings afterward are the real cause of misery. You feel completely lost and after every consulting session from your family and friends, you start doubting on the abilities. Situation becomes worst when you start reading motivational stories as you start considering yourself as a de-motivated person. People do not know how to react in such situation and then comes a either phase when person starts doing something unexpected or start waiting for something to happen. In both the cases, he adopts change.

Once you prepare to adopt change, everything else starts falling to places. If you continue your reluctance then you will extend your desolation period. I was a bit reluctant to change and then I realized that I have to accept the fact everything else is changed and now it is the time for me to change. I was living odds and once I added change, everything evens out. It is simple maths add one to an odd number and it become even. The only problem is that you have to pick which one you will add, as every addition will have its own consequences. People may call it balancing the life but I would rather prefer call it even out the odds.  So if you are also facing the odds just search for one element to add and even out the odds. You can also share your way of dealing with odds so that I can also find one more way of dealing with odds and I will use it in my life.

Missing the ex – Is it natural?

After a broke up every one will suggest you to forget the ex and will ask you to have a fresh beginning. Well there is no issue with it and in fact it is always helpful in avoiding depression state. Some takes time to get a move on while some starts moving when they are in relationship. I always hear people saying that they miss the ex and they cry for them in the night. Most of the time people recall the habits of the ex or the liking and reveals that they are still in love with them. Personally speaking I don’t think so and it is because for me you don’t need help of any particular thing to remember someone.

 I too had gone this feeling and I find out that you miss someone when you are alone. It is not necessary that you miss someone only after the relation ends. Recently one of my friends had a break up and he is feeling helpless by the memories of his relationship. He is asking every individual that is it natural to remind her or I am being weak. Many of them are saying that you are weak and hence you are thinking in that manner otherwise there is no point in missing her. I don’t think the same, and in fact if he is not in this state then I will be surprised. He loved that girl and I think she will miss him too.

Missing someone after broke up is completely natural and I don’t think any person who feel love or affection never miss the person. It’s all about acting in real life. If you want the image of person who is unmoved by the feeling of pain then you need to pretend to be strong but if you are not then it is really a good thing to give time to this feeling. After all it is also a feeling and it deserve some precious moments of your life. So, miss your ex and try to remember the good memories so that you can smile even in the pain. 

Inspire the voters through IT

IT is becoming necessity of the world and we cannot imagine our life without it. Those days are gone when internet is a luxury to have and now IT is life. From paying bills to wishing friend we can do almost everything through IT. Those things which are not made possible a decade back is now possible by the social media. Ever since the Facebook and other social networks introduced it brings a revolutionary change in the world. IT is now become an essential tool of business and we cannot deny its significance. Nowadays the social media apps like WECHAT are playing a crucial role in the individual’s life.

Social media apps are strong platform to carry the campaign and to inspire the mass audience. If the social media app is been used in the efficient manner then it would provide better results than social network ad campaign. The reason is simple because the social media apps are used by real users and the number of fake accounts is low as compared to social networking websites. Let’s talk about social media apps and vote awareness campaign. Election seasons are on the EC of India is willing to inspire the mass to go and vote. What if they use social media for vote awareness campaign?

The best way to initiate such campaign is to introduce some stickers in social media apps related to the voting. Intelligently created funny images of common man having proud on his face after voting can motivate the individual to caste vote. A small vote message sent over social media apps with a request to forward it to all will help the EC to reach the mass. Giving vote is a noble cause and it is a right of every voter to caste vote and to choose the right person.  Generally the voters forget to vote or have some issues with their cards and they ended up without doing voting. If the information helping them to remember the vote dates and to trouble shoot the issue is passed then they will surely go and vote.

Many people don’t have voter ID cards and they don’t know how to get them. If the message related to voter ID cards is been spread with information of procedure then people will surely apply for it. I have seen people forgetting the documents required for the voter ID card application and in those times it will be handy if the social media app is having an account managed by the EC to reply the user with query then it will help them in getting the cards. Social media apps are effective and users are prone to use it when they are on move and hence the chance of grabbing the attention of user increases.  If some accounts related to voting details and query is been made along with sticker series of common man voting is been introduced then I would bet that voting percentage will surely shoot up. Engage the users in forwarding voting jokes and help them to motivate others. A single inspired voter will turn many others to vote and percentage will shoot up. So, use this tool effectively to run the efficient voting campaign. 

Let sums up the year

Bags of 2013 are packed and wait for the train is on. This is the time to sums up what it gives and what it takes from you. From the much awaited retirement of Sachin Ramesh Tendulkar to the election of the Kejriwal for C.M. this year is full of unexpected events. One cannot deny the fact that the year is not fruitful for them. For me, 2013 is the year of the professional learning. I have learned many important professional lessons of my life which will surely help me in my professional career.

I had gone through misery of being ignored to the glory of being professionally noticed. I had my bite on every emotion and as I am looking back at the year I am complacent with the years. Just like the other year ending I was supposed to prepare a resolution list which I can break in the first week of New Year but I decide not to. I am not planning to achieve in the next year and all I want is to taste the randomness of year. I want to see the advantage and disadvantage of being a clueless person holding on the opportunity presents to him.  I want to taste the agony of being a spoiled person and to enjoy the randomness in the life. I had a shot of randomness on 19 December and I want to have more such shots is next year.  I would rather be happy if life responds me with the same and helps me in creating a memorable next year.

Still two days to go for the next year and still few memories are to be made.  For those who thinks this devil’s number year is futile and expecting the luck in the next year I would only say that sums the year and realize your assumption holds true or not.  Happy New year in Advance and wish you a fresh smiling beginning of 2014. 

A day of transformation

Caught up doing nothing; that is me.  For the last few months I have been caught by many people including friends, family, strangers, and all have the same question why you are not doing anything. The intellectual answer of this is has to be the one I give “I am planning”. I know it is hard to digest these words from the mouth of the person who just forgot to take a sip of hot coffee in his hands. Well, to be honest I am actually doing nothing. I had no plans what so ever and I do not know what I will do.  I am living a life of a clueless person knowing the fact that I cannot afford to this luxury. After extending this luxury, I finally decide to end it and face the immediate hurdle i.e. what will I do.

I have two options to deal with it, either I set goals, make plans and tries to execute it or just go with the flow and take participation in the present.  After spending 10 minutes of my time, I find a new option i.e. finish the work which I am procrastinating from past 3 months.

When I make to do list of this kind of work, I was shocked to see its length.  As I made my plans hence I start doing the things, while finishing every single work I feel more confident, and relaxed. Is that the things, which makes me impatient? Well I do not think so, but at least for the time being I have no work and now I can plan what I want to do in the next week. Setting small plans is always good for your confidence but do not set useless plans.

This Christmas becomes transformational day of my life when I finally realized that to make a fresh beginning I had to end to the current state and now I am all ready to make the fresh beginning. However, I still do not what I will do but at least the thought of work is no more in my unconscious brain and hence I can set goal in better way.

If you too are facing similar situation then focus the thing, which you are avoiding from months.  These works can be anything like polishing your shoes, arranging your table, changing the bulb or desktop wallpaper. While making a list of this work just be honest to yourself and choose the work, which you are supposed to do but you smartly procrastinated. Let me know if it makes any difference in your life or not.  Merry Christmas for all the readers and hope you too live a transformational day.

A random Indica

Finally the winter strikes the Indore and cafeterias are experiencing the crowd. You can easily see groups of people having coffee and sharing random smiles. I too love coffee and unlike other seasonal customers, I often visit cafeteria. In most of the cases I am accompanied by one or two friends and whenever someone wants to have a word with me he asks me to have a cup of coffee.  

On 19 December I was having coffee and was in conversation with one of my friends on some random topic. Place was filled with group of friends enjoying the cold season. After ten minutes or so I saw a girl with fair complexion who was wearing specs. She was beautiful and I must say she carry herself really nice. She asks for a cup of coffee and a cigarette. I don’t know which brand she chose but I can make out she tried some light or mild type of cigarette. She was completely ignored about the fact that I was watching her taking drag and reading HT. I woke up from my seat and decide to have a cigarette. She didn’t notice it either. I came back to my place and was again busy in conversation. Finally I ask for the bill and coincidently she too asks for the same.  

After paying the bill both of us are approaching towards our vehicles and that moment I got a feeling that I need to have word with the girl. Before she reaches her vehicle I called her. My friend was perplexed by my action. She turned towards me and a brief conversation started –

Me - Mam, can I buy a cigarette for you?

Girl – Why, what’s the necessity?

Me – Because you are the only girl whom I saw smoking on the public place in Indore.

She smiled and said

Girl – no thanks,

Me – Ok mam, Good night

Girl – Good night

Conversation ended! I know it’s not an interesting conversation and many of you will find plenty of faults in it but I said what I was thinking. Literally I never saw a girl in Indore smoking on public place. My friend was witnessing all this stuff and now he wants the explanation of my action.

I know what I did was not a heroic or interesting thing but yes it’s a bit weird. I don’t even ask her name or any other information. All I saw is that she has a white color TATA INDICA which she drove away from me.  I did not know what she thinks about this incident but my aim was to have a random conversation with random person so that random nature of life will stay and I won’t be trapped in the routine. May be she will read this blog post though percentage of it is less than 1 percent but still luck has the chance to strike. Moreover, from that day to now whenever my friend and I saw a white color Indica we remind this incident and smile and that’s sufficient for me. Keep the randomness quotient in your life so that you can have a never die sweet hope on luck.
