Meaningful things in life

Its human tendency to dream beyond their reach. As a kid I always aimed for the fruit on the top most branch. But it was not the fruit that mattered, it was the extent to which i was ready to stretch to reach that fruit. A few days back I went out for a long drive on the airport road with Baggy, Mr Sensitive, Lawyer and her roomy. It was fun. It was then that I actually understood the essence of my ACE training when Mr Sensitive Quoted "its not the destination that drives me towards it, its the journey".
In my ACE training (a training that every new joinee has to undergo when he/she first joins my organization), I was mentored on various aspects of managerial effectiveness, and the possible ways of achieving them. 'Setting up goals' was one of them. The session mainly dealt with the various steps of achieving short term and long term goals. The whole session ultimately implied that one has to set some goals in his life so that he can achieve them at later point of time to gain the joy of success.
WOW!! Now the question that bothered me was, WHY?? Why should I set some goal, achieve it, and then be happy. I can find the same joy in every single activity that I do. I am a happy person.
Then the idea of Pension Fund occured to me. Maybe people set goals in their life and work towards it so that they get secured happiness at a later point of time in their life. There are many things that I want to accomplish in my life, a certain certification being one of them. But is it really that important to me???
Well, the answer to that lied in my own passion, the passion to reach out for things that are hard come in my grab. It was again the same old story of the fruit on the topmost branch, just that I had to reach there in a much more organised way

bcity experience

"arre, this is nothing!! This is just a honeymoon for you guys...". These words kept ringing in my ears. I remember that evening, like it was yesterday.My shoulders were giving up. I was in terrible pain, all thanks to my accident prone nature. 'curse that bloody BMTC bus'. I did speak my heart out to boss though about how i loathed the bcity because of the traffic. Everything had changed. I changed. I can hardly recognise the tanned person in the mirror. The dust had done injustice to my skin and my hairstyle was a fashion disaster.

If this was a 'honeymoon', I wonder how my work would be henceforth. All the work that I had done in the past 3 weeks went down the drain when I was informed that I had been relocated to another depot, 50 kms from my old office, for another post. Interesting!! It did make me happy. I love exploring new stuff. So guess this will keep me entertained for a while. but relocating!!! hmmm thats not good. I love the locality where i currently reside. Love hanging out with VJ and Ms Lawyer. Baggy was a whole new person. I didn't like change in her. But tried my best to stay update on her fast... really fast moving life. She was my main concern. My presence didn't help her find her way out of nowhere. But I am sure that it did give her moral support. Guess relocating is a good thing. I don't want to turn into a party animal. Resuming my simple old lifestyle is not going to be easy, but hope it remains simple.

I need to update my blog on many more things like- my trip to skandagiri hill, the KO factor, hyderabad, Baggy's bday chaos, out in the rain.

my latest hobby

Painting bottles is my current hobby. Well not just any bottle, beer bottle.
Recently I brought home a bottle of beer, and used it as hair conditioner. I am not crazy, it actually works. My kid brothers laughed a me and found it stupid. So did my dad.
Well its ok. At least I found a new hobby.
