Bending.....

They ask me, "What is it that you want...?"

i say, "Nothing you can give..."

They say , "Try us..."

i jus stop myself from laughing out.. from letting it come to the brim and flood around...

They say "A heart that bends cannot be broken......"

i say.... "Hmmm... There's only one way to find out...."

Uh... Oh...

Connect Holocaust, Capris, Pockets,Disney World, Om Shanthi Om... Well.. these are the answers which ME gave in a quiz conducted by a friend.... After a looooooong while me enjoyed the pleasure of being appreciated....
And WE won.... Uh Oh...........

Crazy dame!!!

"We entrepreneurs are loners, vagabonds, troublemakers. Success is simply a matter of finding and surrounding ourselves with those open-minded and clever souls who can take our insanity and put it to good use."

Anita Roddick... a successful female entrepreneur who, from a single shop in Brighton in 1976, presided over a franchise of 2,000 stores in 53 countries just 30 years later.

This is how they described her in an article after her death a couple of days ago..

A woman of fierce passions, boundless energy, unconventional idealism and sometimes diva-like temperament, Ms. Roddick was one of Britain’s most visible business executives, and not just because of the ubiquitous and instantly recognizable Body Shop franchises. She worked on behalf of numerous causes such as

The rain forest,
Debt relief for developing countries,
Indigenous farmers in impoverished nations,
Whales,
Voting rights,
Anti-sexism and anti-ageism...

Hmm... Inspiring....
Hope to have the strength to be as crazy as you, dame....

Look who's shopping!!!

Not feeling like doing it for anyone else... i am spending on myself.....

Turning myself into a shopaholic... Alarm bells ringing within...

Me not paying heed.... Hmmmm....

So will i.....

Having been told that they are going to put pressure on me… they are going to unsettle me because they need to extract better performance from me… makes me uncomfortable… And this feeling reminds me of Janteloven or the Jante Law…

Jante’s Law is an unspoken code of ethics in Scandinavian-American culture. This law is an all-pervading code of conformist homogeneity. which sends the message that nobody should get above themselves or believe that they are superior to anyone else. According to the "Jante Law", everyone is equal and cleverness or intelligence does not make you a better person.

The Jante Law

1. Don't think you are somebody.
2. Don't think you are as good as us.
3. Don't think you are smarter than us.
4. Don't think you are better than us.
5. Don't think you know more than us.
6. Don't think you are more important than us.
7. Don't think you will ever be anybody.
8. Don't think you can laugh at us.
9. Don't think anybody gives a damn about you.
10.Don't think you can teach us anything.

As per this Law… “Medicrity and anonmymity are the safest choice. If you opt for them, you’ll never face any other major problem in life…”

Being in a comfort zone all this while felt good…. And now to be pushed out of it….. feels kinda scary… dunno if I can handle it….

In these moments of despair.. the traveler says to me.. After all these years of work, you haven’t learnt one of the most important lessons.. That no matter job you get into.. you will be taught some stuff, you will learn a few things, you will invent many.. but the work will surely get done….
and ends with quoting what Gandhi said back then…..

“Man often becomes what he believes himself to be. If I keep on saying to myself that I cannot do a certain thing, it is possible that I may end by really becoming incapable of doing it. On the contrary, if I shall have the belief that I can do it, I shall surely acquire the capacity to do it, even if I may not have it at the beginning.”

It is between these moments of self-doubts and self motivation, that I enjoy to recollect the entry in the slam book of a young 18 year old boy for the question… "What you think about yourself?"

He had written.. - “I’ll have a great future...”

The self confidance this lad had in himself made me have no doubts that he will have an extremely enriching future…..

After listening to all of them.. i believe.. hey.. so will i.. so will i…

If only you had known......

To the person
with whom i always found difficult to connect to.....
Whom i rarely think of...
Who never seemed to matter to me....
Happy Birthday.... and hope you are blessed in abundance.....

Strangely.... it dawns upon me.. that you have meant so much more....
I also do realise... You dont even know that you have influenced me the most for my important choices about love, God and much more...

If only you had known...... what you did to me......
