Beginning of the end?

-
Beginnings are always uncomfortable. In the mid, it feels as if the past and future are infinite. When approaching end, nostalgia takes over. And when it comes to an end, I dread the uncomfort of a new beginning...

SNAKES & LADDERS!

-
Sudden realisation. Isn't life very much similar to snakes and ladders game? When something good happens, the ladder of success takes us to the top, and in another moment, a snake bite can bring us down - right at square one. But, you never know which phase of life has a snake/ladder waiting for you.. Even when we are happy, there is a fear of the landing up on the block where longest snake is waiting to destroy everything in a moment, and that we will have to start from the scratch! :S We do get up and dream again, even if we just had a major fall. There is chase. A lot of Competition. Of course, peer-pressure too.  But, only limited time! Sigh. I guess this is the beauty of this game.  There is an excitement at every step. A hope as we move from block to block. A prayer for desired number on every roll of dice. Yes, there are snakes. But, there are ladders as well :D

Behind the frame..

It's almost been a month since I am seeing this world from a frame (literally). Being a thinker, it triggered different thoughts and funny experiences that I am sharing here... 1. So, the very first time you wear spects, there is an 'ackward feeling'. For me, the definition of ackwardness was hilarious, confusing and 'thoughtful' questions :P  I'll give you some examples, '' Is it normal for your eyelashes to touch the glass?'', ''How do you see things that are above or below your frame?'' 2. Well, there's more to it.. The very first week of wearing spects is all about adjustment - for you, and for the people around (seeing a new 'you'). But for me, not many people were able to notice my new look as they assumed I have always been wearing the spects. :O 3. Then comes a stage when you are finding your "comfort time'' with glasses. You don't know if you can see better with glasses on, or g

Decisions in mythology

https://www.goodreads.com/work/quotes/54138521-how-to-take-decisions-management-sutras Another book by Devdutt Patnaik, and it was not that much fun though it's hardly a 1 hour read.  I'll rate it 6/10 because it felt incomplete sometimes.  The book surrounds around the concept of Karya karma (who obeys decisions), Karta (who takes decision) and Yajamana (who allow others to take decision).  The focus is that every decision comes with a consequence and hence one should own it. The book shifts between mythology and modern life stories to share the same concepts. The good thing I liked about this book is that it emphasizes that whatever  you  decide, it has consequences. We just need to own them. And that we'll never have 100% information to take a decision. We'll have to jump in.  Some favourite quotes: “At the time of action, our decision is based on a set of assumptions. The assumptions may be wrong. Leaders have to constantly deal with uncertainty, g
