Sun Charts

All my life I have seen my friends talking about compatibility and characters based upon their sun signs. However, I always found a loophole in the theory of Sun charts. I am not going to describe about every single sun sign. However, I would surely like to pour some light on the few people that I know who share the same sun sign but have different characters.

Taurus - April 21 - May 21

Person 1: A helpful friend, a person who could also be referred to as ‘pool of knowledge’. This person has immense knowledge on various subjects and can never ‘not be able to give an opinion on something’. This person is good at making tales and can sell anything to anyone. He loses his calm quite often, which makes him unpredictable.

Person 2: This friend of mine comes up as a really strong personality. He is extremely focused when it comes to things that really matters. Though he is more of a career oriented person, he would choose his family and friends over anything else. He talks only when required. Sometimes I feel he loses out on being a great team player only because he relies more on ‘I’ than ‘We’. But again, his sweetness and generosity overshadows that flaw.

Person 3: Unlike the other 2, this friend is a very mild and humble person. She is one of the most trustworthy friends I have ever had. She is highly family oriented and places her family over any thing else. I would be unable to find flaws in her even if I would follow her with a magnifying glass. However, her nature itself could be termed as a flaw as it makes her blind when it comes to trusting others. She easily buys tales and that I guess is her only flaw.

Gemini - May 22 - June 21

Person 1-I, myself am a Gemini, and as a Gemini, I think every word any book would describe would hold well on me. I am a two faced person; two faced because I end up coming up with a thought and contradicting it at the same time. Today, I might love classical music, but that doesn’t mean I would feel the same about it tomorrow. As I am a highly fickle minded person, my decisions never hold good. My indecisive nature surely makes me moody, but it also lights a spark of adventure in my life. Apart from that, I am also a bad listener; guess that’s something I need to work on.

Person 2- This person is a strong willed gentleman. Unlike me, this person takes his own decisions and never lets anyone find his weakness. He is extremely good with words and every word that comes out of his mouth reflects his diplomacy. He is a good judge of character and chooses his friends wisely. He is very understanding and loves the peaceful side the nature.

Leo - July 23 -August 22

Person 1: She is a lioness!!! Surely a leo, undoubtedly. She is assertive and loud mouthed. She can charm people off their feet with her grace. Guess that’s a part of ‘the Leo package’. She is helpful when she is asked for help. Though she is well known for her smartness, sometimes she makes you feel like her brain lies in her stomach. She might amaze you with her charismatic side and also alarm you with her dumb side at the same time. This person is quite manipulative with others, but when it comes to her friends, she is the most generous friend.

Person 2:
This person is listed as the most generous (dayalu and daan veer) not only in my list but surely on lot of people’s lists. She is a poise person. She blends perfectly with anyone; she plays a role of a sister, friend, role model, psychiatrist etc…. However, instead of presenting herself to everyone, she chooses to remain backstage. So when it comes down to the Leo Character, she surely has some, but since it lacks the visibility part, she still does not qualify to be a Leo. She’s better off just the way she is.

These are the very few discrepancies that I have noticed on the Sun chart system. If we look closely, no one shares the same character with another person. It would be just wrong to classify people with signs that would stamp them with a descriptive nature. I would still call myself a Confused Gemini, not because that’s my “sun sign” but because I find the name quite fancy.

Friday blues

“Oh no!!! I just realized… its Friday!!! I cried out when I saw the time turning to 16.30 on my desktop. Knowing for a fact that we have the weekend off, the exclamation in my tone should have sounded strange; however I heard a sympathetic reply to that from BLN (I better not type in the never ending name) my colleague from our counter team. “I know!! I am yet to start for the week”.

Poo, who was listening to this conversation just smiled. Well, it shouldn’t matter much to her, after all that workaholic gal would be at work till 10 irrespective of whether it’s Friday!

“A-deity!! I didn’t start with my **&E!!! I hate Fridays!!!”. A-deity murmured something, which I couldn’t hear. However BLN replied to her with a usual ýa da!!’ Man!! Do these girls have some kind of code language or is it just my poor listening skills…. I said to myself.

Anyway, my dismay in the above context is because of a process that we “follow” at work. We are compliant to charge our work time to the clients that we work on. In other words, we need to give an account of every single minute that we spend at work. The process is supposedly helpful. And it would have been easy, if I would just do it on a regular basis. But as lazy as I have always been, I keep this pending till the last minute, which is by EOD Friday. So I end up spending more time accounting for my work than it takes.
As Fridays has always been the busiest day of the week, I seldom get time to do the **&E. There has been times when I hit the submit button at sharp 12A.M to avoid any non compliance, just to realize that I had 2 more hrs before the deadline.

Every time I hit the submit button, a rush of relief flushes through my body. After being in the firm for almost 2 years, I now realize that **&E contributes a lot to our stress rather than the work itself. Wish there was an alternative.

Note: the purpose of this blog is just to let my frustration out of **&E.
