A Tree Up Hill

So apparently my office is located outside city. And the building is located in hilly area. My team mates say, it would look awesome during rains. But it isn't rained yet. So most of these hills are barren. Just appear full with dry grasses, not a very good view to look around. But there is this tree. A single tree, on the top of the hill. A tree I look at, everyday.

It keeps me amazed, what keeps it green, what keeps it different than its surrounding. I see it after lunch, I see it in the evening, I even see it whenever I need a break. It soothes my mind, for no reason. And I keep planning to visit it one day. I plan to come in the early morning with trekking shoes, and start climbing the hill. It would barely take half an hour to reach it. But I'm planning from almost three months. 'Will it happen?', I ask myself.    

In life, sometimes it happens that you see something. And you just know, it is kind of thing that suits you, it is meant for you. I feel the same way regarding this tree. There's a invisible connection between us. Sometimes it just feels right. Doesn't it?



But I keep postponing the visit. May be I don't have time for this. Every time I decide, there is a new obstacle. A new problem. And today I just gave up. Cause this feeling of struggle is causing more discomfort than the pleasure which I might get if I reach this tree. But the good part is the tree is still there. It is still grabbing my attention as it was a month ago. 

And it a good thing too. A break, glancing there, makes me feel refreshed. So what if I can't get there, it is still giving me little cups of happiness. Its mere existence is more than enough to give me pleasure. Cause I know where to look, when I'm in bad mood. 

Now just imagine the tree is a person, interesting, isn't it?

Character

I love watching movies. It's my favorite past time. And every good movie has something unique. This goes for movies across genres. Of course depending upon your liking and ability to relate or understand certain subjects, you might not like a good movie. But that doesn't mean it's not a good movie. But what a movie buff would always agree is that any movie that gets fan following, does follow one strategy. It sticks to the core subject. It has a character. As long as a movie or a web series sticks to it's core subject and puts in efforts to convey the story without getting slow, it would turn out to be a good movie. If it's an action movie, it should have the best possible action sequences. For a comedy one, you should be laughing your guts out. For a drama, it should touch your emotions. A musical should make you tap your feet.  I believe, just like any good movie, we all have one true character. Some are calm minded, some are outlandishly funny. Some are extremely

Gratitude and Goals

It's almost a decade now, when Matthew McConaughey won an Oscar for Dallas buyers club. And during that ceremony, he perhaps gave the most inspirational and yet pragmatic speech. He said that we only need three things in our lives. Someone to look up to, someone to look forward to and something to chase for.  And I think it's a minimalistic approach. And I too believe that it's the right way. We fill up our minds with so many things, we forget the basics. We forget why we started the very thing. We get fed to the grind economy, to generate and then spend.  I don't have any problem with that, but while doing this we all are entering in a cycle of infinite comparison. Like the saying goes, we have entered the era, where we only see the greener grass on the next garden. We are looking so much outside, we are losing the art of appreciating what we have, known as Gratitude.  We forget to acknowledge the love we receive, or the work we do, or the little things we enjoy. And a

The Good, The Bad and The Corporate

I have often heard that, people don’t come in Black and White; they are always in the shades of grey. Confused? Let me explain. Like the old good Hindi movies, there is no absolute goodwill hero or absolute evil villain. Everyone belong in between, the scale which connects the absolute good and pure evil. But that’s something you already know, don’t you? Of course you do, because at times we behave good and bit evil as well. And this evil doesn’t mean being a bad person, it just means “Not waiting for the signal to turn green”, or “Throwing the garbage on the road” (Cause there was no dustbin around, so lame reason, Lol). My point being, everybody is bad sometime and vice a versa. So that covers the good and the bad, but what’s the corporate ha? Now these are the strangest but the smartest people on the earth (at least they think so,Lol). So being in corporate life for almost two years, I observed many people. People of my age, little bit seniors and highly seniors as well. And
