New year!

Another year ends with shit load of lessons. Many would say that it was an awesome year, many would say otherwise. But everyone will find the new year's Eve very attractive. Reason is very simple, end of something old, brings arrival of something new.

And this something new is what we all look forward to. Cause this new has some uncertainties, surprises, and probably again, shit load of lessons. But more importantly it brings us one more thing, Hope.

But that's not just it. Everyone is hopeful about at least one specific thing for the coming year. The one, most important thing. Could be anything, from job promotion to a world tour to publishing a book. One thing, which could not happen this year, and that does make us sad.

And when the clock hits midnight, we'll wish our closed ones a happy new year, and few may drink and dance and eat good food and lots of stuff. But everyone will recall their one thing, and make a promise to themselves (again), to keep chasing, until reached. And make it right this time.

Cause in our mind, a new year resets everything. And even if that's not true, it's our mindset that matters. Cause if we think that new year has higher possibility to get our desires, then probably there would be higher possibility.

Like the Alchemist says, "When you want something, all the universe conspires in helping you achieve it."

With that said, let's hope we reach where we desire to, and along the way might make some wonderful memories with not so wonderful people.

Happy New year!!!

The Book Thief

There are stories. There are good stories. And then there are stories which touch your soul. One such story is written by Markus Zusak, named as The Book thief. Narrated by the death itself, it's a story of a kid from Nazi Germany. Her name is Liesel. Living in a foster home, with her new Papa and Mama. But life is not fair with her. She has memories of a brother, she lost on a train. Her new mother is awful cook and pretty tough on her. She has nightmares every night. As she starts to live this new life on a place called Himmel Street, stuff keeps happening. She makes a best friend Rudy, who's has crush on her. Her father teaches her the art of reading from a book she has stolen from grave yard. And hence the title, the book thief. And then there's another important character, called Max. Who is a Jew in a Nazi Germany, who is given shelter in her basement. You go on a journey from a train, to a football match on street, to stealing apples and bread. From playing accordion...

Whats your value?

In business, everything is considered with its value. Not price, but value. So what is value? According to me, it is something that provides importance to that particular element. So does a human being have a value? Of course it does. In mechanical field we equate human hours to profit gained in order to determine that person's value. But that's not the value I'm talking here. For me, value is like a trait. It might be very high in some aspects while it could be useless in other. Its up to you how you raise it. Its our behavior that decides it. Our way of handling situations, and people. If anyone is asked about valuable persons in his life the answer is simple. Family, friends, spouse etc. Those people we want in our lives have high value in our perspective. But does this mean the feeling is mutual? Think about that. So whenever you give someone more value than deserved, make sure that your calculations aren't wrong. Because if the perspective is d...

Writer's block

It's a phenomenon which a writer stumbles into once in a while. Basically s/he is not able to write anything. Somehow, the thought cycle which connects to words resulting into something meaningful is broken.  In other words, Monday blues. Unable to work. But this is little different with a writer. In an office, there will be an external enforcer (a Boss, in fancy words). But with a writer, it has to be a force within. An Intuition. But that's the thing, right? The urge, the motivation, the intuition, at times, just fades out, once in a while. When the linearity of life just stops bothering you. You fall in love with the concept of dormancy. Basically you become a couch potato (Until your mom starts to scold). But I feel, sometimes this block is a necessity. In terms of  industrial engineering, it is called mandatory buffer. A system should never be run at its max capacity all the time, or it will fail. Just like humans.  In life too, we keep figuring out what's next, all ...
