Calm after the Storm

As the saying goes there is calm before the storm.....but this time the storm came shouting down & all of us got caught into it, Last couple of days have seen slowing down of the Anxious overtones & we are behaving like normal beings.

I was amazed by the depth of the impact of the economic turmoil,when I heard my paanwala discussing the reasons for the economic slow down & its impact on the common man, he went to the extent of asking me what is happening in America?

While I tried my level best to explain to him the reasons & level of the impact, he made a profound observation " Saheb yeh to bahoot bad lafda hain yahaan nahin rookega bada panga hoga".

I remember him today because I am wondering weather the calm after the storm could turn into calm before the storm.. Are we done with anxiety or there is more to come?.. let us watch out

When is the Right Time?

Decision making is such a difficult process so many things to be looked @ before one can take the final call, I know this can be broken into a streamlined step by step process & there is much written on this subject but not everyone can be a highly disciplined Process oriented decision maker like me I am more Instinctive & spontaneous, I always get stuck with one real question is it the right time? I have tried to assess many of my decisions & realized that most of the mistakes I made were because of the wrong timing -wonder if there is a way of knowing when is the right time in any decision....

Har din Naya din

I keep telling myself every man can control & make his destiny, I am so lost in motivating myself that I do not think of the world outside which is the big part of our lives & then an event like the latest Bomb Blast comes around in middle a severe financial crisis & my life & future is totally disturbed, I don't know what will happen tomorrow, I do not know what to believe & I wonder how much of my own destiny I control & once again I motivate myself & say " Every Day is a new day" Tomorrow will be better than today, but right now "har din naya din" does not give a positive feeling as Har din brings a new crisis, so what do I do, should I loose my motivation & say nothing can be controlled by me but no why should I, This is not the first time we are seeing this happening so this will also pass by & ek aur naya din aayega so why should I not believe" Har Din hoga Naya din"........

Newspapers & Human emotions

Today was one of the worst days in the life of the news readers community which is very large; I realized newspapers are not just news dispenser but play an important role in setting the emotional agenda for the day for the reader;I think all editors now should also be trained in assessing the impact of the content on people sentiments...will come back with more thought on this area....

Kahaan se shoorwaat karoon?

Today is my first day of Blogging I have been a reluntant web user who believes in personal contact rather than web contact also I have never found it easy to share my thoughts so openly but there comes a time when you think you want to do things differently ! or is it you want to do different things & you start thinking how? where? when? aur sochana shuru ho jaata hain ....
I too began in this path & thought kahaan se shoorwaat karoon? There is so much to say but I really do not know where to begin, So I said why not just talk about this question first...So while I think where to begin stay with me....
