All Work & No Play Makes Jack A Dull Boy

Yes, I'm back after such a long time - thanks to my busy work and office life. To all of you who love sitting and hitting the keys 24/7- this isn't what you should be reading. Hey, I have nothing against my job or anyone's , this is my personal opinion.

I'm sure all working people would have come across varieties of species in your working environment- the hard workers, the slow ones, the workers who have fun, the ambitious employees, the 'pain-in-the-ass' workers, the so called 'ass-kissers'... yes loads of 'em. I have seen many and yes, you all must have too. For all those of you who haven't- you surely will. Here's a link to a poem that I really liked. [link]

There is something disturbing in a few. There are people who love their jobs s much that they fail to see the other beautiful things in life. Now don't get me wrong here, work is important but never more than family. So many of them sit late, work extra hours neglecting their closed ones. And I really can't understand WHY? Get a life people! I have made it a rule in my life that I will never sacrifice the time I keep for my family to be invaded by my work. The world has made people think that they have to keep competing with every living soul on planet earth to be someone in life. That's crap..you can be someone by focusing on your family and close ones for a start. Why work on a Saturday when you can take your kid out to a beach and have your wife holding your hand, or have a laughter filled get together with people whom you forgot even existed during your 5 days of bee life. Never give up your family for a measly good name or extra pay.

I know so many people who just work their entire life away from family and country and come for just 30 days to spend with their home. I just keep wondering what do they really earn in life? Their kids hardly love them and it takes a while for them to even understand ' hey, it's my dad/mom'. I know for some people its different and they just want to provide a better future for their kids.

Don't ever keep your work above home. Always spend how much time you ever can to bond with your household. Never say a no when they ask you to take them out during weekends and don't ever unleash your stress and anger on them. I know my dad used to do this and now we are so closely knit that we have to talk to each other every day no matter where we are. And I want to have an exact same life. Do the work assigned to you instead of being overtly smart and everything will click at the right time.

In the hope of winning something don't lose everything you've been gifted.

A Complete Woman

Yesterday I went to meet my classmate who was my friend and relative as well. She was married and had a baby 3 months back. I had been paying her visits frequently after the baby was born to see how both of them were doing. I saw my friend who had pretty much recovered the pain she went through after the surgery, she was coming to me holding a tiny bundle. I saw Leah. She was beautiful.
Her eyes were observing everything. She was trying to understand and sink in the new world that she had just entered a few months back. I watched her trying to hold my finger and she spoke a language that only God and his angels could understand. All of a sudden she was laughing so loudly and a small sweet dimple appeared on her right cheek. I looked at my friend as she was proudly watching her baby smiling.
I wondered looking at the beautiful miracle that was going to be a pretty woman one day. She will grow to face challenges and all the things that is a part and parcel of life. And finally be an extraordinary woman that her mom is. I am sure all women are extraordinary. Only a woman can endure pain and sacrifice and give something so beautiful as a baby to this world and laugh through pain and sleepless nights.
Every mom would have had this beautiful pain and looked at her child's face to encourage her to go ahead the rough road in life.This is the point of life when I think how much my mom has given up and endured for us. She would eat leftovers when we would eat all the chunks of good food.. she would pray with tears for us in wee hours of the night .. she will call us when the world has forgotten us and she has got the power to outdo the best chefs in the world with her recipes which are filled with love and warmth.That's what makes my mom completely amazing.The will power of a woman is extraordinary and that is simply why a woman is so extraordinarily beautiful from the inside. Here's wishing my mom and all amazing women out there a wonderful Woman's day. Keep spreading the love and make this world a beautiful place!
