Ring-Ring sorry I am busy

As the economic boom continues and people are getting more and more ambitious day by day; if you sit back and take a bird’s eye view of the situation – one may see that things are not as they seem to be. The fact is people are getting busier day by day; they have no time to sit back and relax.
To be frank, today’s working youth has no time to; even attend phone calls (that are not work related) most of the time. A typical workday starts at 7:30-8AM from getting ready to work and reaching office by 9. This ends by 6-8PM depending upon the workload, plus the traveling distance. Rest of the time is spent either on internet, TV, relaxing, having food etc. This problem is further compounded if you are staying with your parents. Then there is absolutely no time et al. However, people staying independently still have some time to touchbase with friends etc. But those times are so late in the day that one may only touchbase with other people in similar situation like them (Other people who are living independently). Well this leads to only casual relationships or friends and no real relationships or real friends. This takes its toll in the long run in many ways. There is very little or no scope for having a friends circle outside your office colleagues.
Well this is one problem; there are more problems that are slowly cropping up – like health related issues, stress etc. We seriously need to look for more venues for improving our lives. Life is not just work, but many other things. Fun and relaxation does not mean partying out late, binge drinking, taking dope etc. These methods of fun and relaxation often lead to feeling more tired and stressed out than he/she was previously.

Conclusion: We must seriously try to pause, our fast-paced life and take out time to reflect upon what are we doing and where are we heading? How this all is affecting your personal life?
Discussing all the issues and providing solutions to these issues is out of scope for this post and may be this blog.

Nice Story - Every little counts! Especially for the one whose life gets affected by it.

This was FWDed to me by one of my friends:

A man was walking down the beach at sunset. As he walked along, he saw another man in the distance. He noticed this man kept leaning down, picking up something and throwing it out into the water, again and again. As he approached even closer, he noticed that the man was picking up starfish that had been washed up on the beach. He was throwing them back into the water, one by one.

Puzzled, he approached the man and said, "Good Evening. I was wondering what you are doing."
"I'm throwing these starfish back into the ocean. You see, it's low tide and all these starfish have been washed up onto the shore. If, I don't throw them back into the ocean, they'll die up here from lack of oxygen."

"But, there must be thousands of starfish on this beach. You can't possible get to all of them. And, don't you realize this is probably happening on hundreds of beaches all up and down this coast. Can't you see that you can't possibly make a difference?"
The man bent down and picked up yet another starfish, and threw it back into the ocean. With a smile he replied, "Made a difference to that one !!!"

Search for Perfection - The perfect job!

Our entire effort, from the day we enter the education system, is targeted towards getting that dream job. Though the dreams keep changing as we mature, the underlying principle remains the same – a job which we enjoy doing. 

When we start our first job the illusions of a ‘perfect job’ usually vanish within the first few months and we are forced to admit that there is no such thing as a ‘dream job’. For the fortunate few who are able to get that elusive ‘dream job’, stick with your current job and stop reading this article!

Normally all jobs have a positive as well as a negative aspect and if we are forced to define the concept of a ‘dream job’ it would be a job, with as few negatives to it as possible, which we enjoy doing. Read More ...
