Getting Serious

This is one of the things I am trying to achieve.(Stress on the word achieve). You need to get serious in your life in order to succeed. These are the words of my parents and respectable elders. This holds true all around the world. Nice to know about the things binding the whole world as one or the common things which I am unaware of.

I have changed drastically in last 2-3 years. I was North pole before that and now I have become South pole. It is the same me but there is a widened curve on my face. Most of us call it smile. This smile is now a trouble to me. Now start laughing at me. Seriously.. Seriously… Nobody takes me seriously. I was enjoying this for all the time because of getting new friends. But now I want to be serious.

Whenever, Wherever (Nice song by Shakira. One of my favorites. She is awesome in shaking her …..) I go there is a burst of laughter. Everybody who knows me gives me a smile and greets me. Actually that is how you greet someone. But this smile is a bit different. It is for the person who brings smile on their face. It’s actually not for me as a whole person. It’s just for a part of me.

Many time it has happened that I used the sentence, “No I am not kidding. I am serious.” and there has been laughter after mimicking my sentence. At times it was pretty embarrassing also. The easy to go nature gets me pass through the situation. Otherwise frequently repeating scenes like these would have put me in deep psychological trouble. I would have lost my mental balance. (You think I have lost it??)

Is it necessary to be serious in your life to get success?? Isn’t it possible with an always smiling face? I wonder how the famous humor writers, stand up comedians or simply comedians get serious in their life. He is serious about humor. Isn’t that ironical?

Till I get serious…

Milestones – Why are they called so?

“He achieved another milestone.”

You hear such sort of statements after someone achieves something or someone succeeds in something. This something differs from person to person but the statement remains the same.

“And he is crossing milestones one after another.”

A question arises is why milestones only?? Do you know the reason??

Milestones are easy to get. You find them at every one mile distance. In international units its roughly 1.6 Km.When we achieve a milestone there is lot of hard work involved in it. We have the sweat dropping hours of work. Well the sweat dropping thing is not for the chefs and the ones related in food industry. You may get fired for dropping sweat there. :sideways:

The hard work we do cannot be compared to milestone. Milestones come every mile and they are easy to get. Unlike the success we get. It’s not everyday that we taste success. It’s a luxury. Comparing success to milestone is just not the respect and honor for the person’s work. Do you think success is like a milestone?? It always appears after every mile that we travel?? At least don’t include me in that list.

So what’s the alternative word for this? There is no perfect one. But I guess there’s a need to find for an English word. May be I am just not aware of the word. :wub:

Till you reach another milestone…

Confused, confused and more confused

Confused. By this time you have read this word four times already. That much is the confusion I have. I was confused whether to start with just confused or confused with three question marks. I am confused again and I think I am putting you in a confusion also. I can’t help it. I am confused a lot.

This is my condition for last three days. A simple conversation between me and one of my acquaintance that happened at an annual meeting. Usually such conversation never affect me but it’s strange that this time it’s not the same. It struck me like a sharp edge of a blade. Now that gives pain.

Topic started with what I do? He wasn’t aware of my qualification. He jumped just because he was working under my friend who was my batch mate. That friend is a government servant. So do this acquaintance. In India, and I suppose anywhere around the world, if you have government job then you have a special value. An engineer like me is like a gem. It’s a different thing that I am still in the coal form.

He started to tell me about my friends success. How much he earns and all that stuff. I don’t care about that as it’s not much importance to me. And he kept talking about how an engineer as a government servant earns. After a peak point I got distracted. Is money all the thing?? Isn’t there value for anything else?? I earn a lot less than what my batch mates earn. And the relation Money=Success applies everywhere. So I felt I haven’t tasted success yet. That feeling gave me pain. Now I am getting confused. What next to do? Should I go after money or just continue my journey as is.

This success is not just important for me, but for my parents. They want me to be successful and like all other parents success for them is directly proportional to the amount of money you earn. Till date I never thought of working as government servant. It just suxxx. But now I may have to rethink.

Thinking while confused..

And still confused…

Troubled to wish

Wishing someone is a good sign. A good feeling and one must wish. It reflects that you have the heart and a heart that admires success. I learned this over a long period and now I apply this in my day to day life. I never hesitate to wish even to a stranger. Although I don’t wish everyone on any occasion. There are occasions when I avoid wishing probably things that are to be done with bad intentions.

As I said I cannot wish everyone, I am now in trouble. How can I wish success to a lawyer who is specialist in divorce or a criminal lawyer? How can I wish someone who opens a shop for coffins? And now this friend. This friend is homeopathic doctor. He was my classmate for a long time and we met recently in strange situation. Yeah… in a hospital where my niece was admitted. I was relieved when I saw him as I was nervous. I didn’t show that on my face so as to support my brother.

Now after a year he opens a clinic in town. We happen to live in the same town. On one side I would love to wish him success in his profession but on the other side I don’t. Wishing him success means I wish that more people should fall sick, get ill and go to his clinic. That is not what I want. On the other side I want him to succeed as he is a friend.

I remember our school days when he was very quiet fellow. Never used to talk to someone and behave like an alien. He was good at studies though. Then in higher secondary he topped in first year but lost his marathon in second year so much so that he got less marks than me. Still I knew he would do great. And here he is. He has changed over the time and now he talks. I was kind of surprised when I saw the invitation and felt good at the same time. I plan to go for the inauguration. If everything goes right..

Hmmm… I can wish him that he cures all the patients that go to his clinic.

That silly PageRank

Just when I thought I will be blogging for fun from next month onwards I get this change. I was always looking towards that page rank for a long while and didn’t check it for last 15 days. Today I saw many posts and bloggers talking about this. So I just checked my blogs rank. And guess what I got PR3. Just imagine PR3 for nonsense. I cannot stop laughing.

The frustrations of traffic were all around me through this month. But some comments from fellow bloggers changed my mind.I was going to make this announcement anyway. from next month onwards it’ll be blogging for fun. I’ve been trying to give professional touch to my blog by getting traffic, changing templates, the SEO things and all that stuff. Now most of the things stop here. Continue reading →
