The Next Thirty Days...Day 21 (Pothole)

Well ..these days my fraternity is the talk of the town. And for all the wrong reasons. Two deaths within span of few days...because of me. And I am not the one to be blamed but end up being so. So much so that the leading news daily are giving me and my fraternity extensive coverage and have become talk of the town. Who am I? I am the pot with the hole...I really enjoyed those Polo advertisements....it used to make me wonder if they were inspired by us or...maybe we (here we means our creators) have been inspired by them.....we are still busy finding the answer. So is the Municipal Corporation albeit about different questions .i.e. how to get rid of us...how do we know....well my fraternity heard it. You don't believe it ...didn't anyone tell you about "Even The Walls Have Ears"...well with our significance presence everywhere people feel they are up against the wall (that in reality is the corporation not us).so the wall have ears....so we know what people are talking about us....  We hear people are busy telling each other....There are potholes on the road or the road is in the pothole, its really hard to make out.  

You must have surprised and amused by my logic....but don't worry..we have learnt this from our creators. Anything goes. Simple. Don't rack your brains. It goes as long as it goes. The minute there is an issue.....play the blame game. Again the same rule applies as long at it goes....it goes. Unfortunately for us ...we get cursed and abused every time anyone and everyone passes us. Some complain of backache, some complain of traffic, some about the damage to vehicle,  some the increase in fuel consumption.....and all sorts of problems they face because of us. To add salt to the injury is the fact that we are not our own creation.  Nor our end is our hands. As and when some decides that they have had enough of me and kin...they will fill us and kill us. But only just. For we exist only because someone who was to do the job properly does not bother about it at all.  Or in fact the truth is if they do fill us forever help them fill their pot of gold. We cost, you see and our worth our weight in gold.  It helps fill up the coffers. Having one coffer is just not enough. So why kill the hen that lays the golden eggs. It is of great importance therefore we the pot with the hole remain. Now how do we know this? Simple dear for there are handful few who smile when they pass us.

Day 9 - The Power of Understanding

The words “I understand” hold immense power. In the TV show Two and a Half Men , Charlie Harper often uses this phrase, sometimes with humorous intent. But beyond the humor, these two simple words—"I understand"—carry a depth and magic that is often overlooked. Understanding is the first step toward empathy. It reflects a willingness to connect with another person's experience, their emotions, and their perspective. Yet, to truly understand, we must pause and reflect on what we mean when we say it.  Do we really understand what the other person is going through?  Are we merely acknowledging their words, or are we trying to feel what they feel? True understanding isn’t about sympathy or offering solutions. It’s about resonance.  Do we truly feel the depth of someone’s anxiety or pain, or are we simply familiar with the emotion?  Does understanding require us to have lived through similar circumstances, or is it possible to grasp the weight of another’s experience even...

Day 23 - A Bucket List Is Not A Wait List

Many people craft a bucket list full of dreams, places to visit, skills to learn, and experiences to savor. Yet, more often than not, they tuck it away like an old book, waiting for the mythical “right time.” But why wait a lifetime to live the life you dream of? The truth is, a bucket list should not be a wait list—it is an invitation to embrace life's opportunities, big and small, starting now. The longer we wait to check items off our list, the more distant those aspirations become, morphing into fantasies rather than goals. Life is too short and too precious to wait indefinitely for the "perfect moment." So, how can we turn that list of dreams into reality? Here are some reflections on why now is the time to act, and some ways to start ticking off those bucket list items without delay. Start Small but Start Now The first misconception is that fulfilling a bucket list requires monumental leaps or huge financial investments. While some aspirations may indeed...

Gone Too Soon

Gone too soon is a bitter truth that hits hard when you have fond memories of the person to look back and smile upon.  However inevitable it may be, death is something we are least prepared for. Rarely do we acknowledge death and prepare for it. It is far easier to know we are going to die one day. We all know it. We are destined to die the moment we are conceived.  But it is one thing to know and totally another to realize and accept we are going to die. How many of us live as if we are going to die today. Will we be really at peace preparing for death? Why is it that we wait for someone to tell us we don't have much time to start valuing time?  We always hear someone or other say, “If you live each day as if it was your last, someday you’ll most certainly be right.” Most times we have a hearty laugh about it but ignore what it tells us. How many times do we ask ourselves if today is going to be the last day of our life, what is that we would do?  Steve Jobs in his ...
