Deserve before you desire!

Long time back, my Mama told me “Beta, deserve before you desire”. I was young and couldn’t understand what he meant. I recently said the same thing to someone else. I used the phase without knowing its depth. This post is an attempt to understand the phase I have been hearing from a really long time.
How do you know that you deserve something before you desire for it? I guess the cycle goes like this. First you desire for something then you try and figure out how much is the weight of that thing. Accordingly you decide what must be done to deserve it. Therefore, for deserving something it should first be desired for.
Next question, how do we know the value of a thing? What I’m trying to figure out here is how we ever know how much effort should be put into so that you deserve what you have desired for. I guess that’s why my cousins taught to take bribe. Ya, I agree, I take bribe from my family for every small thing I do. I’m the laziest person you’ll ever find and so I take bribe. I am proud to say that it works. At least for me, it works. They promise me a chocolate; I do the work and get it. I’m happy plus they are happy.
But how do you decide if the thing is more than just chocolates? If its something costly, if it’s about a person you like. How do you decide it? I never thought about it but now I know someone who thinks this way. It is new to me, as I have always been with people who either date multiple people at the same time or who just keep switching. But there do exist a really small number of people in my world who think before taking another step.
So is it at all correct saying them “deserve before you desire!”? I don’t have an answer but do hope to get it someday.

Seniors at Office

I’m finally on project now. Although, I haven’t started the real work but I’m learning a lot of things. I have been assigned to the NDH silo for the project. I work with Saikrishna. He joined last year. I also try and learn about other silos. Currently, I’m learning the work of inventory. Piyush is the senior who helps me with that.
Both of them are excellent guides and I cannot dare compare them. Both of them have their own style of transferring their knowledge. When I say knowledge it’s not only about the silo but life in general. I remember when Sai gave me my first assignment for training me, I was tensed. After trying the problem for one full day I was stuck and thus as I am, I freaked out. I remember pinging Sai ‘I give up’. I was stressed and had headache. He immediately replied back boosting up my confidence. The best thing about working with him is that he makes me feel that I can do the work. He shows confidence in me.
Piyush on the other hand, always discusses the harsh realities of this business. I don’t think any senior would ever do that. His work is related to functional and may be because of that he keeps talking about how the actually things work. Well, to be honest, I do know what Piyush says is true but its scares me at times. He shows how life can be difficult, although most of us from our batch are still in the college mood. Piyush has a fore-sightedness in him and he tries his best to guide us with his wisdom.
As for me, when I get frightened by Piyush’s tales, I come to Sai for the confidence. I guess each one of us would always want seniors like them so that we learn before we lose. And so I conclude by saying life is long and we keep changing as change is inevitable but everyone likes it if we change for good.

Morning walk n Me..

I'm not a person who likes getting up early morning.. N morning walks, i despise it.. But somehow a friend of mine talked me into it n today i went for my first morning walk in several yrs..
It was 5am n some people were actually returning after their work-out.. N all i could think was about my beautiful bed.. On my way to the tracks, although greenery pleased me but my sleepy eyes, were simply not ready to enjoy it.. When i reached the jogging track i had already walked around 1km n wasn't very enthusiastic about the whole thing..
People from different age groups were walking faster than me n most importantly there was a glow on their faces.. I saw people smiling at me as if they knew its my first time.. After another 1.6km round, although tired i was somehow happy to b there..
As most of the youngsters, i have enjoyed a lot of night life n never seen a morning.. But u know what morning r the most beautiful part of the day.. In last 4yrs the only time i actually saw sun rise was when i didn't sleep the whole night.. But last night i was in my bed at 11pm and got up at 4.30am.. YES.. 4.30am!!! I can't believe it myself but all thanks to my younger sister who woke me up n i like a spoiled child screamed n shouted at her..
But have u ever thought about it, To wake u up someone else has to get up atleast half n hour before..
Anyways, i sat for a while after completing my first round n then couldn't just sit there.. I was so excited that i pulled my friend back to the tracks n we walked for another 1.6km.. After stretching my body for a while, it was time to return.. Another 1km and i was back home..
My parents were smiling at me.. I think that was because this late riser was the first one in the house to get up. Amazing isn't it??!! Morning not only brings a new day but the fresh air gives u hope to keep going..
I just hope that i can continue it..

Shopping.. utility or luxury!!

Have your guy given u a reaction like "Omg.. y do u need this??? How many more dresses r u gonna try before purchasing one?? Or This is the last time I'm going for shopping with u.. " Don't worry this happens with me almost every time i go shopping with a guy..
The truth is that most of the guys simply don't understand shopping.. Shopping takes us in a world which is far from real.. in that world each mannequin walks n each cloth fly towards us.. its like even earrings n bracelets start talking to us.. Now tell me how can it b wrong if we say " I'll love to die while shopping".. may b many times we end up purchasing stuff we don't need.. but i defend myself by saying, shopping gives such a pleasure that no words can explain..
Every time i go shopping, i have the biggest smile on my face n after shopping i have great sense of satisfaction.
For you guys who still doesn't understand shopping, for us to not shop is like having delicious food in front of u.. but, u cant eat it..
So go gals (n guys if they feel the same as me), go shopping!!! :)

Perfect start

I practically spent most of my time last night thinking about what should i write (as this is my first blogging experience).. its so amazing, we prepare so much for a perfect start.. whether its our first day to school, college, job.. or our first date.. We want everything to be so perfect and magical..

But in my experience sometimes some things have to be left for the moment.. excessive planning makes things mechanical.. n in a long run what u remember is your feeling u had when u took the first step to something.. but excessive planning gives us stress which sometimes overpowers our feeling..

So my advice, plan but don't over plan.. its similar to confidence n over-confidence.. Well, this is all i have to say tonight..
