Dreams.....!!

Dreams are that essential part of us which we cannot give up. From Morning to midnight, from dawn to dusk, it is the dream that we want to reach out to. These dreams are not as big as walking the red carpet for the Golden Globe or discovering an unknown species in the African rainforests. We all have tiny, wee little simple dreams that we love to nurture and want to pursue.

To dream is one obsession but to accomplish it is another. The struggle, the hardship, the sensitivity where our heart churns to give up is more often than not very difficult to contemplate. So, stick along and stay put.

When I give myself the time I require to nurture my dreams, they enjoy the space they get to thrive. The day by day chores that we minimally cannot deny ourselves of, can do without attendance for a day. These activities that are so sweltering, confining and panic inducing would take a back seat and this breathtaking moment of thought work would construct a big part of my existence.

My existence has a time to meet, to discover, what I have walked so far to learn. While I am still pondering and getting up to turn to the next page, I am passing by episodes of my life, friends and foes. As I pass, I leave them behind. And when I finally reach where I have to, I see me all by myself. Leaving everyone while I walked up to here, the only person to count on will be me, its all about my very own dreams, after all.

Time and Me !!

"I can be changed by what happens to me. But I refuse to be reduced by it." - Maya Angelou.
How strong and yet how true the words are? The time we travelled together, however short or long it may have been, has taught us to be who we are. We managed to stay unruffled and not break apart. There have been times we detested each other or times we loved incessantly. In either times we have always wanted to be the shoulder that would sustain us from breaking apart. We stood strong all throughout and today when you move away far and further away, oceans apart, I would still be that shoulder for you to rest.

The limitations that we bound us with have let us be ourselves. The challenge today is the inner self. I know the thin line that separates me from being others and I know I can go beyond being me. We have lived in good terms with life. Life has been good to us or should I say, we have been good to life. Breaking even at the edge of challenges, I have found you standing there unknowing and untold. Is it the guiding angel or is it the success quotient of our life? I have always impressed myself by counting it as the success of our life.
.........We are the ones who are able to live it in our way !!

Work that Works me up...!!

A long break from writing. I have been tied out with the desk post and bound with deadlines lately.My fingers have given up on typing the cruel official emails. I voice has dimmed into a silence and my eyes strained looking at the undesirable screen of my work. With time,....I thought I would be drown and choked in work.

All these work stand thankless, all measurement of accolades are biased. The ethics of hard working diminishes into something not worthwhile. And here i stand, in-spite of the bruises to do what I love the most...I write.

All these days of being away from myself, I have been injected with a glossy and florescent office term -Professionalism.My heart out on this page, I wonder what Professionalism would be defined as.
Professionalism is more or less a defined perception of an individuals.Being Cordial is an extended definition of Professionalism for a population.For others, aggressiveness is..professionalism.
Striking a balance to the work we do and do our best in the work is typically professionalism. Twisting and turning the edges of being cordial or aggressive or blunders as long as these activities abide all business implications hold good to be named as professionalism at quote.
