Random Ramblings
Going through my previous posts and the frequency in which I have posted, one thing dawned on me today. Unlike others my life isn’t interesting or notable. My life is boring as per me and I don’t think people would find it useful. Probably, the younger generations can take a few leaves out off my book on “how life shouldn’t become” or “how life can become if you are a sloth”.
Having said that another thing occurred to me now, it’s not that my life isn’t interesting, it’s just that I don’t know what’s interesting. I don’t believe I have the literary tact to write or conjure up a fascinating anecdote of my life. I guess it’s up to the writer’s ability to make up one’s life interesting or not so interesting. No wonder I am not famous. Now that; I take with a pinch of salt.
I am a man “with“ few words. Take notice it’s not “a man of few words” it’s “a man with few words”. Just one word is changed and the entire sentence takes a whole new direction. So being as careful I am, certain things cannot be missed or misinterpreted. Eventually things you say or do will most definitely be misinterpreted. By the way do I really care if it is?
This was supposed to be published (online and by me) on June 21st 2006. It has taken me more than 20 days to find time to post this. My current boss told me one thing that I may not forgot easily “ However busy you may be, you still can find time if you really want to do it”. That’s really true. If you “want” to do it, you will find some way to do it. I used to quip at interviews “I want this job, I don’t need the job”. There is a difference between wanting something and needing something. Want arises out of desire while Need arises out of necessity.
Having written the stuff about wants and needs one thing occurred to me, I did not read this anywhere nor did I hear it from someone. It came out during one of those interviews, which eventually I rejected their offer on monetary issues. I could say I coined this myself. I am thankful for the good education that I got and also to my colleagues who later on became my (and still are) good friends, which enabled me to be a Creative and a Quick-witted Professional (I can’t help but chuckle whenever I hear this word).
I think this is the 3rd post, which was in the Drafts section for some time (read 20 days) before I posted it. There are still 2 more posts, which are so to speak, in the works. One of my schoolmates whom I have known for the past 10 or so years, who is working abroad told me, on his recent visit to India “ We know the problem and we have the solution as well. However, we don’t act upon it.” Upon further scrutiny, this is true in everyone’s life. Most people are unhappy with the way things are going in their life, however they are so comfortable in the place they are at, in that point of time, they are not willing to move from it. Comfort Zone; if we can’t get past the comfort zone you won’t go anywhere.
Break the shackles, be your own man, open up your mind, embrace the world.
That was just an Intermission. As always I have meandered all over and yet to arrive at a forbearing conclusion. This is ME. I am like this. I cannot make things Interesting. No wonder I find my life so dull and boring. One comment a friend makes always to me, when I start to crib, “ Get a girl. All your other problems will disappear.” I don’t know in what context my other problems will disappear. However it is a nice phrase to ponder upon, probably on my next post.

Dude, think your friend got it right. Life without problems is unheard of, best way to solve a problem is find another problem :-)
