Wasting Time = Wasting Life, agree with me?

Have you ever encountered a situation where you are forced to stay at home, without any work?? Well, today I encountered this situation….

Many of us have encountered this situation at least once, trying to make sense of what to do.

When I started to think what to do alone at home, couldn't think of anything. Watched TV for a while but got bored of it. Stood out in the balcony for a while, still didn't feel any better. After a while of thinking, began to feel that I was wasting a very good part of my workable lifetime. This feeling of boredom led me to think about the amount of time I have wasted in the past many years.

After a point of time I got bored to the core, remembered my fiancée telling me that reading a book made her very happy when she was alone, so immediately tried reading a book, believe it or not, I felt happy reading it. It was something relating to my profession (Taxation). I couldn't believe myself that I had the capacity to read such a boring topic/subject with such enthusiasm when I was bored to death. It was the first time that I had tired out reading a book when I was bored, after completing my studies. :D

So thinking positively even in the most boring or most trying situations, gives a person instant solutions to overcome such situations. Also having positive people around you make you feel positive and helps you in using your time in the most productive way and also makes you feel happy that you accomplished something. I wish to quote here a beautiful line said by my friend SUJIT LALWANI “When you go to bed at night, think whether you have accomplished something useful today”, this line made so much sense today.

Finally I realized that “WASTING TIME = WASTING LIFE”. Think twice before wasting time, as time lost once is lost forever.

A dedication on Women's Day

A Woman, a synonym, an epitome and a symbol of mother earth. I compare her with mother earth because, I feel that a woman is blessed with unlimited amounts of forgiveness, tolerance and patience, to name a few. She, of all people has the capacity to bear the pains of gifting life and also take that gift through the rigors of life; to make that life gifted, a successful life. She takes many roles - a mother, a sister, a daughter, a wife, etc.

When I hear the word woman, two people come to my mind. First is my mother. So caring and so loving. Always puts others before her and does the work without expecting anything in return but for the love and care of her family. She takes on the roles of a caretaker, a babysitter, a nurse, a cook, a wife, a banker, a teacher, a comforter and many more. I wonder in awe, how she manages so many things without the least bit of hesitation and always has a smile on her face. I once asked her why she does so many things even though she is not remunerated for her service, the reply what she gave was astounding; she said ‘all the work that I do, is out of love and care and not for money’. This made me realize that there are some things in life which cannot be bought but can only be given out of love and affection.

Second girl/woman is my would-be wife, whom I met recently, but changed my life for good. She is a multifaceted and a multi-talented girl who loves work and keeps herself engaged in some or the other useful activity. She made me change the way I treated life. I wonder from where she gets all the inspiration required to be happy and see the positives in every situation. Every time she talks, she does so with so much love and happiness that makes the other person forget all the problems and enjoy talking to her. She has been kind enough to have directed me to see the positives of the worst of the situations. One of her favorite line which I quote here is “Everything happens for a reason”.

These are the two main women who have influenced me in my life. So I take this opportunity to thank these two women who have brought about positive changes in my life and also wish them a very “HAPPY WOMEN’S DAY”.

My respect and salute to them.

“HAPPY WOMENS DAY” to all!
