Want to know a lil bit more about me??

Hey Dosts,

You may be aware, our coblogger, Hephzibah has been doing a fantastic job by posting the 'getting -to-know' interview series on her blog NRIGIRL where she has been interviewing other cobloggers over the past few days. It has been interesting to know a little bit more about the bloggers she has interviewed so far.

Today she interviewed none other than YOURS TRULY !!!!!

Please visit Hephzibah's page to read my interview and interviews of other cobloggers.

Many Thanks Hephzibah for doing this. It has been a pleasure to meet you and the other bloggers who you have interviewed so far.

Up And Down The Slide

Sliding off from a height means

You have something to climb back up !

...

During my walk in the park today, I saw a group of children playing on the slide – sliding down zoom and then running towards the steps at the back of the slide to once again climb to the top and slide down. One particular little boy caught my attention. Every time he came sliding down from the top onto the ground, instead of going back to the top of the slide via the steps at the back of the slide, he would try and climb back up the slide itself. During this, a few times he slipped and fell down but that did not deter him from climbing. He tried and eventually succeeded. Every time he made it to the top, he was overjoyed! Words fail me to describe his happiness throughout.

The little boy’s downward journey along the slide was fast and scary. His upward journey was a struggle but he did not give up. With determination and courage he got there and it was rewarding.

Journey of life has ups and downs too. The downhill journey of life is scary and fast and sometimes tends to blindside us. The uphill journey of life is always a struggle but rewarding in the end. Whatever mountain we are climbing, whatever dreams we are building, we will always face barriers along the way. Whether it is a downhill journey or a  barrier during the uphill journey, failure should not knock us from our path. During tough times, we just need to take a minute to reflect on how uniquely our life experiences have prepared us to make it through both journeys – THE UPS AS WELL AS DOWNS OF LIFE and move on.

E-Shopping Aur Dhokha

Kabhi  Kabhi Aisa Bhi Hota Hai -

E-SHOPPING Se Logon Ko

Dhokha Bhi Hota Hai.

Chand Hafton Pehley Ki Baat Hai,

Ek Haseen Sunday Ki Shaam Thi,

Kar Rahi Main Online Kuch Kaam Thi.

Achaanak Us Par Meri Nazar Padi Thi -
‘Ads from Google’ Par Jo Tea Bag Bani Thi,
Aur Kaphi Interesting Woh Mujhe Lagi Thi.

Kehney Ko Woh Herbal Chaai Thi,

Alag Si Hai Yeh Meri Raai Thi.

Assam Ke Baagon Mein Banthi Thi,

USA Ke Kisi Site Par Bikti Thi.

Alag Alag Flavours Mein Milti Thi,

Forty Dollars Per Tin Uski Price Thi.

Kar Diya Maine Ek Tin Order, Sochkar
Yeh Ki Ab Piyungi Tea Lime & Ginger !
Phir Aaya Woh Fine Din,

Jab Deliver Hua Teabags Ka Tin.

Fultu Bakwaas - Knowledge and Wisdom

What is the difference between Knowledge and Wisdom ?

Knowledge is knowing that a saw can cut the branch of the tree.

Wisdom is knowing not to saw off the particular branch that you are sitting on!

Ek Pal Ka Jeena....

....Phir Tho Hai Jaana...

Tohfa Kya Leke Jaaye, Dil Yeh Bataana

Khaali Haath Aaye They Hum

Khaali Haath Jaayenge

Bas Pyaar Ke Do Meethey Bol Jhilmilaayenge

Tho Hans kyonki Duniya Ko Hai Hansaana....

I woke up to some very bad news this morning: First, the sudden death of my friend’s father in India. Second, the earthquake in Japan. It was devastating to hear. My heart goes out to my friend and the rest of her family and the thousands and thousands of people in Japan during this difficult time.

News like this though disturbing, serves as a reminder that life is just so unpredictable and we never know what each day will bring.

People who have suffered loss today had no choice. Destiny forced them to let go of their dear ones and all the other material stuff that they would have been endearingly attached to. But there are times when we do have the choice to let somethings go: No argument, anger, jealousy or revenge against any person can ever be worth it if destiny plays its trick and you don’t see that person ever again. Letting go is a kind of bravery.

Each day is a miracle. Let us live it to the fullest. Let us spread smiles, kindness and love. Let us learn to forgive and grab every opportunity to be happy and make others around us happy and make this life worthwhile.

Phew!!!

That’s how I feel at the moment just after a job interview - an INTERNAL interview. It felt very strange to give an interview to people who I work with everyday. Prior to the interview, I thought there is possibly nothing more that I can tell the panel than what they already know about me. But I was wrong. The interview appeared to be the best time for me to demonstrate to the panel what skills and experience I have developed while working with them over the last two years and how I would like to develop it further.

I am not too worried about the outcome as I absolutely love what I currently do. Of course, it will be an added bonus to be successful today and move a step ahead in the career ladder.  But I have nothing to lose if I am unsuccessful today.

When I stepped out of the house this morning, all I had in mind was that I must do my best in both rounds of the  interview and I have managed to achieve that. During my interview prep, it was interesting to analyse what the other external candidates may bring to the position and what unique thing I have to offer to the role. Well, to find answer to that I had to be myself at the interview. After all, who else is responsible for creating my professional reputation other than me!

Yeh Theek Nahi Hai....Woh Theek Nahi Hai........

Ab Bas Bhi Karo..

Arrrggh! We ran out of orange juice this morning - Arrrggh! The kids were not ready on time this morning - Arrrggh! The traffic was not moving this morning - Arrrrggh! why did the telecon have to be arranged for 9am? - Arrrggh! The host of the call has not dialled in yet - Arrrggh! 10 mins since the call was due and yet no one has joined the call - Arrrgh! the computer - Arrrggh! the canteen - Arrrggh! the tea - Arrrggh! the blah - Arrrggh! the bleh.....Arrrggh! the anything .......Arrrggh! the everything..........

Dear Colleague, Can I please make a suggestion? Shop for food/juice on the weekend - Tuck the kids into bed early in the evenings - Start from home early in the morning and beat the traffic - Keep on top of your emails and diary arrangements so that you know the exact time of meetings/telecons - and oh! there was no one on the call this morning because the call was cancelled!

For all the other ARRRGGHs,  I have just one thing to say - The whining is same old . But each day is a new day. Please wear a smile and see everything from behind that smile. Trust me - Life is beautiful!
