When you have done something wrong, you will definitely have some regret when you realize that it’s a mistake. It is appropriate and taught you the new lessons from your mistakes. But when you haven't done any thing wrong and still you have regret than what do you call it?

Firstly when this question arises in your mind, you start scrutinizing that weather your perception is right or wrong. Many times, it happens that person or thing is so much important for you that you always neglect their mistakes. But when you need to show them the red eye for their mistakes, you will internally feel bad because of the feelings towards them.

Like parents do not want to get angry on child. But for the betterment of their children’s future and to keep away from the bad habits, many times they have to take this kind of stance. Actually, at that time they internally feel bad while getting angry on the children. Similarly happens with our friends and you really feel bad.

Don't lie to your manager

There are many incidents in life which stay in your memory forever. One of the incidents I am writing here took place during my onsite assignment.

We were planning our chirstmas holidays. I had decided to go for a long trip to my uncle’s house. But at the last moment the trip was cancelled out and I had no choice left and stayed in the Calgary. I did not want to convey this to my manager thinking that may be he called us on work during holidays.

On the day before our Christmas vacation, we just went to our manager’s cabin and below conversation happened.

(The texts, which is written in bracket, are the thoughts running in my mind during conversation)

D: “Hello sir, we are going on holiday from tomorrow. We are here to wish you Happy Christmas and Happy New Year.” (Also, we gave him a card)

Manager: “You too, Guys…!! So what are your plans..? Are guys going outside the city?”

D: (murmuring internally … If I say no, than he will call me to the office during holidays. After all we are contractors.) “Yeah Sir, I am going to my uncle’s house in Boston.” …. (Though my plan was cancelled out)

Manager: “So, which flight are you taking?”

D: (Why is he doing investigation? God..!! I don’t know any airlines operating for Boston. May be he is not knowing either..!!. ….Let me give him any domestic airline’s name.) “Sir, I have booked my ticket for XYZ airline. I am taking tomorrow morning’s 7:30 flight.”

Manager: “Ohhh…!!! Are you sure? I am also boarding the same flight and going to Boston. See you tomorrow at the airport.”

D: (Ohhh Man …!!! Is that airline operating for Boston? Don’t tell me..!!! What should I say now? a bit tense I am !!...... Even my colleague is also looking at me with smirking face.) “Yeah…!! Sure Sir.” (I don’t have any other option)

After coming out of his cabin, I screamed “Oh God..!! Now what should I do?!! ” My colleague, who was standing near to me, was laughing like any thing on this incident. I was also worried that after vacation if he will catch me than “what will I say?” “Why is he going to Boston in the same flight? And I am not.”

“Thank God..!!” that my manager didn’t ask when we were back to office after vacation. Great relief…!!!

Always intending recognition for our actions..!!

Is the recognition of your act or work so important that we always intend it?

Agree that many times it boost your confidence and motivate us but not necessary that you always anticipate that.

I have observed many times that when you do activities with keeping in mind of recognition sometime it ends up in despair. Also, many times intending recognition make us choosy and you will intend to do only that kind of works/activities where you are hoping some recognition. Further on, we will start anticipating recognition even in small things.

But actually when you did some activity with your full interest and enjoyed it thoroughly than recognition part does not contribute as a bigger slice. I think that makes us innocuous when there is a lack of recognition.

Life on chances or with choices

What way we should live our life? On chances or with choices. Always confuse us many times, at least to me.

Living life with chances is very lucrative and attracts you tremendously. Day by day it increases the reliability on chances. On this path, our progress is measured on chances that we got. Also, on this path, many times we are taking stance that I don't have chance that's why I haven't done that. That might be considered as escaping attitude. It’s highly dependent on many things.

Whereas life with choices goes through the pavement which has many obstacles but gets you immense pleasure and satisfaction. But when our choices lead us in failure, it reminds us the way of chances. On this path your choices should be the right one.

It's very complex. I think that we all are living a mixture of both, aren't we? To select a choice also you need a chance and not necessary that we all get that chance.

“Every story has a happy ending”

“Every story has a happy ending.” - Somewhere I read it or might have heard from someone.

At first when you read it than it gives a feeling of wrong notion. Because, our practical life scenarios and reality support us in feeling that it looks good in imagination. Consider for a moment that it is true. So, “if the story is not ending in happiness than it is incomplete.”

Actually our lives, relationships are considered as stories - definitely for others.

Starvation for difficult problem

Solving the problems and experiencing difficult scenarios enrich you in many ways. One question here it is "if everyone is possessing similar level of intelligence than why only few people can solve the difficult problems." May be their starvation to solve difficult problems help them. While others are just sit back after solving easy problems. That freezes the intelligence and creativity. Solving difficult problems accelerate your speed on the way to greater heights. Sometimes failures occur and may plummet you in deep well but your attitude helps you to get back and reach the pinnacle of success. If you follow this path than in later stage the failure becomes innocuous to you.

Solve more difficult problem may help you in realizing intelligence if it is constant or might help you in its growth.

Music brought us together for humanity

Music – touches the soul, brings us serenity, spread the messages & feelings, inspires us and lots more. I had been to many musical concerts and live rock band performance for the entertainment purpose. But this concert was truly special as a great cause to help destitute people, who lost their home, families due to Bihar flood calamity. Wonderful initiative and venerable act to help the children who had been through this calamity few days back. Music was the reason to bring all of us together and to contribute direct and indirect way to support these already lifted helping hands. Also, it lit the fire and reminds us the responsibility of building a better nation for the next generation. What more I can say than this. It’s time to “Rock On”.
