Home Sweet Home

Dedicated to people of my age...
Best of luck.

It has been more than 3 years that I have left my home sweet home. It has been more than a year that I have left India. May be it was right time to meet and greet everyone at home. Many things have happened in past year, some are good, others bad. May be it was right time to take all those in. Many things lined up for future. May be it was right time to understand those. All these feelings arouse when you are at a prime age. In case you are staying away, things grow at rapid rate. There are many things/situations that today's youth has to go through. Two of them are listed here.

Shadi (Marriage): That's the hottest topic, I ever heard in India. Especially relatives do their best in match fixing. Thanks to all of em. Everyone will have at least one contact with an eligible candidate.

Whereas youth have no idea, what's going on? They understand that it's high time, that thy should settle but they gets afraid with the Shadi word itself. They want to live their life before getting settled. Even if they are earning in lakhs, they are afraid of the current economy. They also think that marriage will bring additional responsibilities. Also they need candidates who is perfect in many criteria such as working/non working/business, location, community, even sub community, culture and more. It's like the person should satisfy all the parameters to be eligible. Note, they apply in Love marriages as well, just that criteria s are different there. Even then it takes a lot of time of time to finalize, as it's a matter of lifetime. 

Job: If you do not get job, its a problem. if you do get job, you want to switch. If you have already switched, you want to go towards Startup. If you are in startup, you want to go in Business. In spite of all these, there are those as well, who are still struggling with their exams. So basically you are in a confused state of mind, wherever you are. One thing is for sure, wherever you are you want to move ahead from it. You want some change in life. Change is inevitable. Also you are afraid of the change, which reduces your speed of moving towards it. Above factor also contributes in this change. As per my thought, all of us need change and should bring it once in a while. For example, if you are working somewhere you should take leave from it at least a month in a year. You should meet 1 new person at  least in a week.

Funny thing among all these is, we might think "OK, we are in a job. We should settle now and get married". But the real thing starts right after that. Our society wants more now. First they want us to get good marks, then good job, good girl and now they want a good kid.
If you listen to me, I would say...
Their is no stoppage in this life, it wants more out of you. Just try to keep yourself on track. Take the life as it comes. STOP once in a while, take a deep breath, see around yourself and then move ahead. Else life will go very fast and you won't get time to live it. Life is precious. Stop surviving, start living.

Work Wives

WTF, I got married years back and I didn't notice it.

Don't worry girls, I am still single, ready to mingle, it's just work wives. (rofl)

Disclaimer: Based on a true event. All quotes appearing in this post are non-fictitious. Any resemblance to real persons, living or dead, is not coincidental.

Wikipedially, a Wife is a partner in marital relationship.

And Work-spouse is a co-worker, usually of opposite sex with whom we share a special relationship, having bonds as marriage. Now, it's not a new term, it was coined in 1930's with the movie "The Office Wife".

My own definition of work wives is people with whom we come office in same car. We work in same place, lunch at a single table, go back home again together and ... Don't get any naughty ideas. But the true fact is, most bachelors staying away from home, sleeps below the same roof. Such bachelors are no more single, they become Work Wives. Good thing is their relationship is without any commitments. They are friends with material and work benefits.

Work-wives are there right from the time, when you come out of your home. They are known as friends at that time. As soon as you step foot into professional world, you officially have work spouse. There are rare chances when such relationship becomes more than work and goes personal. In other words, they become gf/bf and finally the end-Marriage. Rest of the time, people have boundaries. Work wives can vary from 1 to many depending on the interests and need. 

Funny thing is you don't even notice when you move together. Then you take below vows:

1. Rotational basis cooking and cleaning.

2. Taking care of Groceries.

3. Taking care of rent and other bills etc.

Yes, knife fights happens here as well. But don't you think its part and parcel of life. Sometimes, people get divorce also resulting in change of apartment. 

Still I like such marriages as they provide someone for everyone. They take care of you when in need. They teach you to live in harmony, to cook and share.

Unfortunately such marriages have an ending too. They end when you change your company/location or you actually get married. With this post, I would like to thanks my work wives for bearing me. I know I can be annoying sometimes, but lesser than you.

I will now leave you, to be with your work wife.

One Reason

Dear Readers,

Welcome to thinking zone.

I think that there is a single reason to do a thing, I mean anything and everything. There is always one and only one reason to DO IT or not to do it, rest are just EXCUSES. You might be thinking, what I am talking about, what to do, what not to do, let me clear it through some examples.

Consider you want to get a job, so there is only a single reason that you want to get it, it may be financial conditions, social status, family pressure or whatever, but it’s a single reason. Similarly if you are resigning a job, there is a single reason, most probably that you have got another one or you want transfer or you may have got frustrated with the current one.

Enough about job/work, lets go for a journey. I have heard lots of reasons actually excuses for not joining/going on a trip, but let me tell you there is a single reason for joining it and vice versa. Some say I cant join because “I am girl”, some say parental reason, others may say money, marriage, exam etc. In reality, there is always a single reason.

Time to be romantic, there is a single reason to Love a girl and viceversa, you may say that she is beautiful, hot, has a good attitude, but again there is a single reason. Even to marry or otherwise, there will be a single reason.

If we talk about personal health/hygiene, you may work on your body, go for morning walk or on the other hand, you may not think much about it, you will keep fooling yourself with reasons such as you do not have time, your schedule does not allow for all this, but ultimately there is always a single reason, most probably you are lazy, but it will be a single reason rest are just excuses.

Even for a fight to happen and to resolve the fight, there is a single reason. I hope this point does not require any explanation.

In short, there is always one reason to do something, rest are just excuses.
