Excuse me, where are you going?

Study, study, work hard, top the class, win competitions, land yourself a great job, play politics, climb over everyone else to get to the top and then what - oh! I forgot to mention, it gets lonely at the top.

So, is this the beautiful corporate dream? The desire to make lots of money quickly, gain a lot of power, pull some strings, play with people's "careers" , be consumed with an insane sense of self worth and end up a megalomaniac like ever other corporate czar, lose focus of who you are, where you come from, the parents who gave you birth, the partner who stood by you, the children you brought into this world but never really "brought up" - is that the end goal, the destination, the life force, the mothership that is stringing it all and playing all the chords?

Yes, money is important but can it buy you love, luck, health, joy, peace, sense of contentment and life itself. Nay, good sir but it so cannot! It can give you a lot of fleeting moments of temporary illusional smiles that you will term as happiness. It can buy you that great car, that amazing house, that dream cruise trip - can it give you the health to enjoy a car drive, a partner to share that house with or promise love with a family that stands by you and enjoys that cruise with you - unfortunately no!

Why then, despite all our education, experience and accomplishments do we still crave for the materialistic entities that in reality hold no promise of a happy life? Isn't happiness the end goal? How do we get there?

Let's just take a breather from the lives we so proudly call as "busy" and promise to put down our life goals and not just career planning for 5 years, 10 years down the lane - even if that be case, where do we want it to lead us? Think, think intelligent people, I urge each one of you to do so, including myself.

Do you know your end destination?

Better late than never

I have picked up the mighty virtual pen again after a year and a half. It's been a long hiatus!

I have missed this space, the freedom that it offers- to think, to ponder.

I have been doing my bit in writing through my editorials in Anugraham, a socio religious magazine.

I have been making presentations and making notes as well at work:)

I also started using the diary in my phone and jot down things in it daily

But I have had my share of flirtations with all these different media and nothing beats this space that I own cyberspace.

Still my first love will always remain Anne Franks' outlet - a personal diary, where i squiggle, draw little thingies all over and pur my heart out:)

That's all for now...will be a regular on this page, that's my promise!

Eat pray love

"If you don't pray

You worry

If you pray

You don't worry"

I am no fanatic. But I do believe that there is a force somewhere that governs all of us. Someone who controls life and living when things seem to be going out of hand despite putting your best forward or even superbly right without lifting your little finger.

That someone has scripted out our lives for us and we are cruising along trying to decipher all the little signals that come our way to lead us onward.

It's important therefore to be spiritual and pray. Rather than being overtly religious or a total atheist.

So, dont forget to say that little prayer daily...create your own prayer for yourself and reach out...

What do you think?
