My Indecision is Final!

Its been quite some time i haven't written anything so i thought i must write something today.

Anyways no one visits here so actually it doesn't matter much.

if u are the insane guy reading this i presume u have absolutely nothing left to do with ur life.

n if you are smiling the answer is "yes" u too believe that's true.

n if you are cursing me for my over smart attitude then too the answer is "yes" and you don't believe it.

Some times back i was thinking i should link this blog to the linkedin account where iam surprisingly active. :)

Then a senior in the office (who doesn't blogs and takes hours to write a small mail!!) told me Link(ed)ing your personal (life, opinion, etc) to the Professional Networking Site isn't a sign of a mature professional guy and may turn off some opportunities.

So i simply did the way he said giving respect to his balding head with some space covered in white hair.

the thought kept popping in my head some times but i was just putting it away.

You wont believe i thought about it for real long time say 2-3 months.

That s one of the aspects of my personality - Indecision :)

In college, I wore a Shirt which said" My Indecision is Final!" and found it very cool.

I never wanted to throw that off even after ages of it becoming reluctant to fit my body.

However once my mom took a Decision and threw it off.

Then today i had a divine realization 'anyways i am not a mature guy actually'

and linked it to the linkedIn.

So for the sake of the guy in the office i am attaching a disclaimer

"Anyone trying to judge my personality from this writing will be prosecuted and punished according to Section 999 of Indian penal code"

Cheerio

Ketan

Dude ..did you say Intelligent Risk taking

Yesterday i had a lousy meeting where some management trainee kept on talkin endlessly about a product he has never worked with but he manged to get some "material" about the same from some of his "contacts in the industry"

His boss, in a bid to show the fucntional skills of this trainee guy kept on asking quesstions like what is the full form of WIP etc.

I doubt they have planned the questions or perhaps his boss was trying not to sleep too ..

I was supposed to be part of the discussion but i was too tired of trying to find the relevance in his talk.

So i decided to let go off what he is talkin and closed my eyes in a thoughful mode and slowly my mind started swinging in my own world.

Though i wanted to think of Seal fish for some strange reasons words like market leaders , most amazing product in his entire life / etc kept on coming to my ears and tried disturbing me.

All i was thinking is Seal fish is th leader in the Sea or wherever it is found.

Suddenly the chap said if you are taking risk it must be "intelligent risk taking"

and vrooom Seal fish went deep in the sea and i wondered what is intelligent risk taking ..

this is one of the classics u hear from the half baked management graduates who thinks nothing is tangible , everything is interrelated and there is no black and white in life ( i am not a management guy now, even if i become one, i ll continue to do do management people thrashing :) )

I resfectfully disagree in this regard

Risk is something which you take based on your instincts which has nothing to do with intellignece whatsoever...

high risk must be associated with high gains however there is nothing like intelligent risk...

this phrase must be coined by some silly non active / non risk taker who wanted to sound adventerous at the same time intellectual ...

Suddenly the management trainee s lecture was over and he stood in pride with a fake smile asking us for our Business cards.

Thankfully i dint had mine and my boss didnt want to give his.

So we shook hands and walked away..

Relax .. Sit Back .. Enjoy !!

Hi this is my first blog

As the name suggests my mind isnt empty at all

However i am trying to make some space in it.. in the mind offcourse and not in the blog

Honestly i grew tired of viewing blogs where people continuously vent there anger on a particular situation, a political party and unknowingly contribute a lot to the collective human ego

lately i have started believeing that as nature doesnt hurry up , doesnt struggle to achieve what it wants still everything just grows and becomes just perfect.

Why we should always suffer / struggle / compete / backbite to achieve something that s not permanant atall

This words of wisdom arent coming from me ( offcourse:) )

My stroy goes like this

I am a engineer found everywhere on the streets of india who did engineering because it has "great scope"-again whatever that meant.

After completion of the graduation i got a good job but some one OUTSIDE me ( neighbours, my dads colleague in the bank whose son got 99.99 % in the CAT, etc etc ) kept on telling me that without MBA i am not geona make it big in life.

I wish i could have told him then and there that big is a realtive term.

big as compared to what ???

I gave a lot of MBA entrance exams and no wonder i failed in all the exams badly.

i was a good student throughout my life and was persued as some scholar in the family.

This myth was broken after i got disgrace to my family repute in all the mba entrance exams

so i decided to just let go of all the expectations and self beliefs good or bad whatever i hold about myself.

i let go 5 to 6 months drifting around, not worrying about the future and just letting go of myself to become what i am capable of...

letting go of myself to become what i am capable of...

Slowly i picked up the office work well and slowly i started enjoying my work

who cares about the mba

right now i am really happy doing my work well

One thing striked me as i created more space in the mind and let that space remain for some time it was NATURALLY filled with good thoughts

so can we say of u can empty up your mind a bit and create some space it ll be slowly filled with goodies

Offcourse !!

who says empty mind is devils house ( direct translation from hindi " khali dimag shaitan ka ghar :) " )

Didnt he know people in zen monarchies spent decades to achieve that state of bliss

So some times just dont think too much abt the future , about who u can become, about the expectations you have from yourself, etc etc

just let go of who you are ... relax ... Breathe ... sit back ... enjoy the journey

Empty mind is just the begining
