Mood Right Now- Muddled
Target – Capture thoughts of last few days
Reason - No enthu for anything else - too exhausted from work and the other things that demand attention in life. Read cooking (for a change), going for a jog early, sit ups, my baby, and my hubby. J
Revital worked for sometime but the fervor with which I started eating those capsules just vanished with time. Physically drained, mentally still some scope and hence this post. Don't mind the absurd start and probably the end of the post - I would lie if I say I am not mentally stressed as well but I just needed to soak my cells into thinking something else from the pitch I am working on.
Off late, I eat, breathe, and sleep work. I also tend to realize my highs and lows and areas where I need to pay more attention. Interestingly, I also observe what and how my seniors handle situations. One of the most important things which I have learned in last one week and which I most definitely would want to unlearn here by sharing is the fact that as you go higher the ladder, it is only the finesse that matters – the fact that you can add value to something. In the forums, calls, and meetings that we have, adding value to whatever is being discussed is something that matters the most. Value proposition is derived often times from your experiences, your awareness of things around you, your ATD, and of course your attitude. SMART attitude.
Talking about attitude reminds me of today evening’s incident. There was a plastic screwdriver in Mishi’s school which she must have been playing with for long. One of her big boy friend “Siddhant” found it beside a chair and asked if it was her. I was already there to pick her up and was standing near the door watching her play with them. Before she could answer Siddhant’s question, I interrupted and said it wasn’t hers. Don’t ask what happened after that. For the rest of the 20 minutes drive from her school to home – she howled and cried and did not speak with me. Reason? Why did I say it was not hers. I had to stop mid way and explain that it wasn’t hers. It went in vain. Infact, she convinced me the other way round. Such is the attitude of these kiddos these days – someone teach me how to deal…don’t know if it was her attitude or the fact that how could her mom say it wasn’t hers, or the feeling of possessive on that ‘toy’ since she played with it for long….but it sure gave me jitters!

Target partially achieved for I only captured 50% of my thoughts - many more still in mind but I would perhaps post them some other time. Until they are here, they won't go anywhere :-)
Next week is travel time – hopefully.
Leaving a thought for all of you - everyone should find one person in life to motivate him/her to constantly go on taking challenges ...though I fervently believe that self motivation is indispensable but often times, not everybody can be a self motivator...think about it...

Good to have you back. Even in this muddled state. Keep finding time to use this place for a breather.
