The Happenings 2..........

Whoa.....What a week it was? Still feeling it. I had all things happenings in past week....friends..hanging out.....NYC......awesome food...and loads of study phew....

Week started fast on me last Monday I was still finding solution to some questions left from Sunday training then came Tuesday when one of my very good friends decided to call it a day on job hunt and head back to her college for starting PhD, so farewell hanging out and every time its same good old NYC(New York city) which serves this purpose, but it had just started to pick up as following day I have to visit by my best friend rather bestest(to describe friends who are more than best..any other word please advice) friend who cares like a family like a mentor to me, guiding and keeping me up to the tasks but the best part was yet to be revealed as she had her mother and grandmother visiting her for the Grad Walk so meeting them was great experience it was great feeling to have elders around who talk and discuss everything except the job scene. It was after months that my mind was relaxing without a drink, it was at peace for some time. Thursday followed with a very hectic schedule as I had to come down to long island (ya good old long island life and beauty around) and on the way back we got some good Chinese food from one of my favourite restaurants out there but all this left me drained and dead tired so I decided to stay put at my bestest friends place and with so much peace in mind it was one of the best night sleep I had in months and when I got up on my own not being lazy ready to get back to my place to go for training and then studied till late in night.

All this enjoyment meant I had loads of sleep to catch up on Saturday but had soccer matches to watch so really not much sleep but it meant I took a break from cooking but its back to where it was one week back and same old script will be running day in day out.....but still it was a week to remember for all its good memories which will help to keep my tempo up for some coming weeks (I hope so)..........

The Happenings.........

It has been a long absence since I have written something, you can say the recession has its effects everywhere and the article growth has gone negative for the first time in past few months where I read more and wrote less. Actually things were not changing as I was used to and harder I tried to make them work slower they got, it was like the more you struggle to get out of wet sand faster it takes you down. Then finally came a time when I quarantined myself from outside contacts no chats, no reading and yes no phone calls. It took me more than 15 days of isolation to analyze what is happening and what I am making out of it ? and then the answer came courtesy of totally unexpected source of inspiration and it was The Happenings........

Things do happen and I saw them coming to but was as helpless as trapped Piranha in a drying lake and knows sooner or later it will be hunted. I used Piranha here just give myself some morale boost to still consider myself as a hunter not the one hunted. Well I have learned a lot during this phase of life where the first thing I have seen after finishing my studies is the The Great Recession which world has seen in more than half a dozen decades and I can say I have learned three things and they aren't any new ones just same old 3p's but I call them Mp3's(my 3 p's) and they preservance, persistence and patience even though I am still trying my best to land a job which I really want to do but this situation offers you a lot of easy escape routes, where you can just blame the whole damn world and its devil managers, keep yourself to limited job types which you want to pursue and sit back and say I am waiting ( actually I tried to do this for 3 weeks and ended up being depressed).

Recently after ending my quarantined phase I found there still lot more to be tried and you just can't take others solutions to your problem it has to be ingeniously invented and during this all I wrote my first quotation " Solution is not the Solution when there is a Problem ". Finally I think economy has started to recover so I hope my article publishing will also increase and I will get back to my job hunting with a hope to find the one soon which I want to pursue.

Day Dreaming

I have been out there just to busy catching up with life in recession. I won't lie by saying that everything is so fine but I will like to say, it takes out a lot to stand optimistic in these time when you see people around loosing jobs everyday. So to catch up on my dreaming ( to tired at end of day to dream) I started day dreaming as it is nice 30 minute walk that I do everyday between train station and my home. I wont say it is new to me I have tried that in past but during those times I had so much of time on my hands that I can just sit back and relax but its the other way round now, so the obvious question comes up Why I am doing it (knowingly I don't have much time on my hands) ?

The answer is very simple as I told you it gets really stressful to be optimistic and to keep yourself going in tough times, everything just requires double the effort so just release the stress I imagine what will be the thing which I would love to do right now if things were in normal phase and just dream further about it. For example today its a nice overcast sky with no rain forecast so I would love to sleep long hours in morning and then hang-out with friends in evening at a Bar but then again that's for normal times not for the struggle days but it still brings a nice big smile on my face and inspires me to work more hard and to be more optimistic about succeeding. I know this thing can sometimes bog you down but as we always say any thing use under caution of not getting addicted to it can reap benefits.

So my friends in this time of struggle Day Dream your dreams but make sure you still keep your eyes open whether you are on road walking or looking for opportunity and to end I recently read a quote which I will quote " You have nothing to Fear but the Fear itself " so break free of it just hang on good times are just around the corner...

ek kahani.............

Humen jis katil ne maara woh kehte hain ki unhen yaad nahi
magar humse poocho ki kis bedardi se katal kiya tha humara
ki marne ke baad bhi hum ussi katil ke dar pe sajda karte hain

ek dastak..............

aap meri zindagi mein aise aaye ki

jaise is neele samundar mein mujhe sahil mil gaya

baag ko saavan mill gaya

aur bhavre ko fool

jaise chingari to daman mil gaya

aur bichde ko koi apna

aap meri zindagi mein aaye

to aisa lagta hai ki andheri raat ko khoya hua chand mil gaya............

ek justju..........

Teri aakhon ke samunder mein doob jaane de

Teri saason ke toofan mein bikhar janne de

tujhe chahte hain hum itna

Ki tere ishq mein fanna ho jaane de

meri kismet ne roka mujhe har pal

par badta har baar mein aage

Saath jo miljaye tera

jeet lunga ye jahaan saara

meri har justju mein tu hai

meri har arzoon mein tu hai

meri har dhadkan mein tu hai basi

meri har saans tera hi naam leti

apni chahat mein kho jaane de

apne ishq mein fanna ho jaane de

Ek vaada..............

Ek vaada karke to dekh

Apni jaan se zyaada usse nibhaunga

Aasun teri aakhon mein kabhi aane na dunga

Ek baar aitbaar karke to dekh

Tujhe koi shikva na hoga

Ek vaada karke to dekh…

Tere kadmon rakh dunga har khushi

Tere naam meri har saas meri yeah zindagi

Tu hi meri aarzoo tu hi basti is dil mein har ghadi

Tu hi mere sapne tu hi meri bandagi

Ek vaada karke to dekh

Ek baar aitbaar karke to dekh
