The Mind & Heart Speaks....

' At times we think that our lives should change. We should become like another person or another object. What if our wish is granted and we have power to choose whatever we want to be? Here is an inspiring story from Paulo Coelho’s collection of stories about a person named Mogo who was not satisfied with his work and always wanted to be someone else: ' Many years ago, there lived in China a young man called   Mogo , who earned his living breaking stones. Although he was strong and healthy, he complained about his work day and night. One day, his guardian angel appeared to him.   ‘You have your whole life before you,’ said the angel. ‘All young men start off doing the same job as you. Why are you always complaining?’   ‘God has treated me unfairly and not given me the chance to grow,’ replied Mogo.   Concerned, the angel went to ask the Lord for his help. ‘Do as you wish,’ said the Lord. ‘Everything that Mogo wants will be granted to him.’ The f...

PEC- a Progressive, Empathetic/Enthusiastic, Collective unit-- a family  Where will you find a workplace which is like your second home, Where you begin and end your day with a smile. Where you are lucky enough to have wonderful supportive colleagues, Who gradually become your closest friends and your extended family. Where your seniors are as affectionate supportive and encouraging as parents, Where surprisingly there is no room for jealousy, envy, competition among each other. Where everyone is genuinely happy and thrilled to see someone promoted, Where the same people show utmost concern when someone is low or ill. Where time flies each day and before you know it , its been years you began working here, Where feelings emotions love and peace of mind are more important than money and luxury. I wish everyone was as lucky and privileged as us, I wish PEC was a part of their life too, like us............

The Art of Listening-  Are you the speaker or the listener? We all love to talk, dont we. Be it about the latest things we bought, the places we went, the endless matters at home, or incidents related to our workplaces. More often than not, we spend a considerable amount of time in a day sharing our feelings, thoughts and emotions with our family, friends, colleagues and loved ones. But, sometimes we even end up sharing our extremely personal thoughts and secrets with someone whom we dont even know that well. And the fact that we spend more than 8 active hours of our day at our workplaces, makes us prone and vulnerable to talk more there than at home. I am sure a lot many of you would have had this experience, telling a not so close colleague about your personal problems. Probably you were in a weak moment and needed an outlet to vent your feelings. And mostly after the conversation, you end up thinking, why did i tell him/her everything? what if it gets spread? Should i have re...

‘Away from you….’ My heart is in so much pain My soul is feeling helpless. If I do not see you for even a day My whole body feels lifeless. No matter what I try to do I keep failing at it the entire time. How extremely hard it gets to focus When its you I am thinking of all this while. For life is so much more wonderful When you are next to me. Hearing me, embracing me And simply letting me be. I look forward to that moment again When I shall be close to you It is indeed tough, almost impossible To be so away from you….

My ‘LIFE’                               26.5.2012 At first I thought it was a phase, it shall pass away soon, But the feeling lingered on, being with her, I always felt on top of the moon. Everytime I heard her voice, it would send crazy shivers down my spine, It was a magical effect, I had just one thought; wish she was forever mine. We would talk hours at a stretch, not caring for anything else or anyone, It felt like a new life; how amazing it was to have that special someone. The morning began with her, night ended with her and yet she was in my mind each moment of the day, If only she could be in my arms, if only I could feel her touch, i just wanted to be with her, come what may. The craving to talk, the eagerness to meet, it wasn’t a mere infatuation  for sure, Feeling the same desire and passion even after so many years, it had  to be love, simple and pure. For what else is love, when you fe...

Dear fellow country men, dear team anna, dear parliamentarians, As i see all the news channels flooded with minute by minute updates and details of this mass hysterical movement called indians against corruption and we support anna hazare, i cannot stop myself from getting upset and angry at the same time. I am upset because i am tired of watching the same visuals on each channel, hear every second person talk about the same event, and read every second article in the newspaper on this movement which is being termed as the next best revolution india has ever witnessed. I feel sad for the media, mainly for the hundreds of cameramen who are literally spending nights and days trying to capture the images which would give their bosses better trp's. I feel sad for Mr Manmohan Singh and his entire family, i am sure he would be recalling that dreadful day when he accepted to be appointed the prime minister of this country. All this while, he has been made a scapegoat and getting all bl...

31st July 2o11  2.pm. "One week has passed since the last long conversation they had exact 7 days before today. As she looks at the clock strike 2pm, she cant stop looking at her cellphone to ring and show  his name again. The past one week went by rather uneventful. A little solace came with the fact that this time around, they did manage to have small conversations few  times in the week. At first, it was on monday when he called to tell her he had received the courier she had sent him. The talk lasted precise 2minutes. But they did hear each others' voices. And she was happy he liked the gift too. The next day she got to know from his friend that he had paid him a visit and though not completely fine, yet he was doing ok. He seemed very very hurt and shocked at the fact that this time it should have been him passing with flying colours. But god always has some plan for everyone. This was his extreme step and though in a bad shape, yet only his determination was kee...
