Big change in Life

I am on a new phase of life where I feel I am loaded with so many big responsibilities. I deal with people who are almost double my age. I can understand what they must be feeling about me. I can’t imagine a 10 or 12 years old child giving me orders and I guess same is their condition right now. But I can’t help it, I am told to change the things I don’t feel right. My life is on a new track. I am coming across many new people each day. It is quite interesting and challenging but difficult at the same time.
I am learning different behaviors; I am dealing with different kind of people, sometimes I feel I am playing with cards and have to be very careful about which card to use. I can actually feel the difference between the time I was working at the same place one and half years back. I used to follow the rules and it was fun too. There was someone to order and I could even involve in the gossip of the teachers. Today I am at such position where I can’t discuss any thing with anyone. I am told to maintain ‘a gap’, which is little difficult task for me. Of course I have my old friendships but I have to keep them away from my work. Every day brings a new challenge. At times I feel I am hurting people by correcting them. But I am left with no option! This is just about my colleagues. There are some ‘horrible’ people with whom I have delt with, ‘a few stubborn parents’. For a ‘shortest tempered’ person like me it becomes difficult to deal with such people. But thankfully somehow he understood my explanation, even though he did not accept his mistake. Lesson I learnt was ‘Realizing a mistake is much more important than accepting a mistake’. The best thing about my job is that I get to talk with really sweet kids. The way they talk is real pleasure. And I miss the time when I used to teach them and they used to tell their parents that they liked me. And I miss the comments ‘ Mam aaj aap bohot ache lag rahe ho’ and the way they used to come and tell me what their mum was talking to their dad. I miss the time I used to be with forty kids around me.
Now my position is different but I know after two years my work will bring lots of maturity in me. I will be able to look at life more practically, will be able to deal with people in a much more better way.
My life has changed in all the ways. I have so much to think, so many thoughts to keep my mind busy. I am realizing what all I can do. I have many skills which I wasn’t aware of till now.

Clothes & Colours

How many of us really think that ‘what we wear’ reflects our personality? Does our clothing reflect our mood? And the answer to both the questions is YES. It reflects personality as well as mood. Certain occasions we attend,we take much care of the colours that we choose to wear. Like many people believe that wearing black in wedding is not considered good or we don’t prefer wearing bright colours when we are attending a death ceremony. These are a few things we are aware of and most of us are likely to follow them. But when we go deep into this we come to know how colours reflect us.
Like GREY clothing reflects ‘a balanced personality’, VIOLET colour reflects ‘royalty’ also LIGHT PURPLE is a colour of ‘femininity and romantic feeling’ whereas DARK PURPLE is ‘dull and gloomy’. This shows as we go deep, we find where and when such colours should be used and which all should be avoided.
When talking about the way we dress, it is very important that we dress according to an occasion. Clothes not only cover our body but it says what we are. When we see a person with ‘sloppy clothing’ we can easily say that the person doesn’t care about his/her looks or a person with ‘designer labels’ shows that the person is materialistic or it can even be taken as successful and choosy.
It is better to avoid colours which are depressing or clothes with some memories which you don’t want to recall. Like when depressed one must not go for certain dark and depressing colours rather choose bright colours and clothes that remind you of an accident you met when you wore it, should be dumped. Things that bring negativity are strictly NO.
Few tips which may help-
Clothes don’t need to be expensive to look good.
Wear something that makes you feel good.
Update your clothing regularly. Don’t worry about trends.
Have fun with clothes. Use your imagination and creativity.
Don’t get sticked with one type of clothing. Experiment with styles.

Peace

What is Peace? Aren’t we all craving for this little feeling? Isn’t this world dying to have little bit of peace? Thousands of questions arises in our minds. Is peace so important? Where does it come from? Can it be bought from some market or shopping mall? Or can it be found in some cave or dessert?
Peace is something which helps person to live. Peace is something which gives hopes in life. It can be categorized into two parts. First, Peace is what world is craving for. Peace among nations, peaceful world without violence. And the second is peace for every single human on earth, peace of individual. It means peace which is needed by every soul, peace of SOUL.
There are billions of people who are crying for peace, peace of mind, peace of soul. A person may earn lakhs or crores but does that give peace? NO. There are people who earn Rs.150 or even less every day but they lead much more peaceful life. Money can buy gems, diamonds or the most precious things but can’t buy peace. Rich people may go to places or join clubs which gives guarantee to reduce stress and give peace of mind. But does that really help? Is that a long lasting peace? It isn’t. It is just a satisfaction or ‘peace for a while’. This shows how much important ‘inner calmness’ is. In such situations it is only God who can help us, silent prayers and our true belief in him will definitely provide peace.
Let us all pray to God to give this inner calmness to every human, rich and poor, young and old. Let us all unite, join hands and make this world a better and much calmer place to live. Lets us all forget our grudges and try helping the needy ones which may really provide us with some inner calmness.

Shopping

I guess 95% of women go crazy when they hear this word and I am one of those 95%. I love to see my wallet when it is full and heavy. What does a person need when he/she wants to go shopping? Nice weather? NO! There are no criteria. Just a heavy wallet. And nothing else should bother, neither heat nor rains. In fact it feels great to shop in a shopping mall when it is raining outside. But this applies only to women because there are very few men who enjoy shopping.
Psychologists say that shopping is a stress buster for women. And this is actually true. If men want to make their women happy, ‘shopping’ is the secret. Every man should try it out.
Women love to explore, decorate themselves and so they have so much to shop. The other reason why women shop more than men is that they know what is needed not only for themselves but also for their family. Imagine the markets without women. How will they look?
Not many men will enjoy my post but never mind all my girlfriends are going to love it.
Dedicated to all women who love shopping.
HAPPY SHOPPING! :)

Life and Lonliness

Loneliness is a small word with a huge meaning. Meaning is such that it changes with time and person to person. When a kid is asked the meaning of loneliness, he/she may say it means ‘to be alone, without parents’. When a school going child is asked he/she may say ‘loneliness is something when you are alone and miss your friend’. When a young person is asked the definition of loneliness he/she may say ‘it is something you feel when your loved one leaves you and you are left alone fighting with pain and sorrow’. When same thing is asked to an old person he/she may say ‘it is a part of life, your soul mate/spouse left you and you are alone with no one to share things with’.
Loneliness is a feeling which hurts every person from a kid to an old. We sometimes even hear people saying that they enjoy loneliness. What does that mean? If people enjoy loneliness, why does loneliness hurt some people? Seems confusing and strange.
At this point of time I life, I actually realized what loneliness is and how it is felt. Loneliness hurts when you feel you are left alone in life, when you miss someone very near and dear. For example when a person loses his/her parent, he actually undergoes loneliness. Or when a person loses his/her most loved one, without whom his/her day never begun or ended, such person is in loneliness.
How does a person enjoy loneliness? Very few people can do that. And people like me hardly cherish loneliness. When we get too much dependent on someone, we can never enjoy loneliness. We sometimes in life get addicted of some people and when those people are not in life we hate loneliness. During such situations positive attitude and constructive work can help. Meeting new people is always a solution to such issues of life. Getting involved in the activities we love to do also helps. But is it so easy? It isn’t. But ‘HOPE’ is always a part of life. And that ‘super natural element’ always helps us directly or indirectly. Our life is not only ours but many people are affected by it. We live not only for ourselves but also for others, the ones who are with us or who left us. The ones who left us are also affected in some way even though they may or may not express it. My thoughts are very similar to any common man and may help someone or give new hopes in life.
