Crazy Memories

While surfing through my college day photos I remembered one very funny incident that took place when I was in my first year of graduation. The partner in craziness was my bestie – Chaitra. Along with our regular college (BA 1^st year) we had enrolled for an evening course for event management . This course kept us tied up day & night with the continuous events happening all the time. So our parents were worried about our academic performance. Both of us were aiming towards specializing in Economics during the second year so finally we got convinced that in order to score well we need to join coaching classes for economics. We joined one of the most credible classes in the city and for a change made it a point to attend them very religiously. However, we soon realized that what was being taught in the class was different than what they teach us in college but we thought that may be it’s the difference of sub-sections in Economics – Micro & Macro. So we attended the class almost for 10 months. Our vacations were going on and Chaitra had gone to visit her dad in Africa that time.  So I went to the office to check when the classes will resume and here I got to know about something beyond our thoughts……..the classes were over and why it was different than our college sessions was because throughout all these months we had attended the Economics lectures for Commerce and not Arts….Freakkkkk…I really didn’t know how to react when the lady there said ‘Commerce Economics class portion is covered and its all done now’……How stupid and funny we could be…how come we never realized it all these months and what reason are we gonna give to our parents for scoring less….do we now have an option of writing the economics paper for commerce stream…gosshsh…we both literally thought of all the possible options but simply kept scratching our heads for our craziness. At the end we managed to score a distinction in economics and completed our specialization with good marks.

But even today when we look back at this incident me & Chait can’t stop laughing at our madness and cherish it with the same amount of laughter even after so many years.

Crazy memories of our crazy world…

My vitamin supplements

I have always been an optimist & practical person and I like to be that way. It helps me cope up with all the different shades of life. Truly to say…I have not faced problems as big as mountains but whatever difficult phases I have gone through has made me stronger every time.

I felt like writing this blog because very recently I witnessed training session on stress management…not as a participant but as an HR. During this session the trainer asked each person in the room – what makes you stressed & how do you overcome your stress? When the question came to me…I replied instantly…I don’t feel stressed be it physically, mentally, morally or financially because I take my vitamin supplements. They keep me cheerful even during the worst scenarios.

With my vitamin supplements here…I refer to everyone and everything that brings a smile on my face. Through this blog I wish to pen down about my vitamin supplements.  Each colorful tablet in the picture above has a different meaning for me.

My parents, my fiancé, my family, my cousins & friends…..I really wouldn’t have even known the word ‘Positive’ without them. All my lovely people around me helps me to stay strong & positive. But along with all this there are some simple things which I follow& they act as my vitamin supplements & keep me away from stress:

«  I say ‘No’ to people without any hesitation. The ease that you have in saying no is a good measure of your freedom and potential for your happiness. Don’t overdo but say it wherever needed.

«  Under promise & over deliver. I am very realistic when it comes to commitments. It doesn’t mean I don’t stretch myself or always work in my comfort cocoon but I make it a point to deliver over & above what I have promised…somehow this accomplishment gives me a great feeling of achievement

«  Express it all – happiness, love, anger, appreciation, disappointment – My expressions are directly proportionate with my feelings. I am not a person who can do something simply to please the other person. I believe in expressing rather than letting something linger in my mind & disturbing me thereon. It gives me a burden free mind.

«  I am fearless – this is mainly because I believe in myself and my abilities. With my dad serving the defence forces for two decades, being fearless is in my blood.

«  Don’t aim to be a perfectionist – I know my dark areas & I don’t intend to be perfect. Learning from everyone & everything is a continuous process for me. Openly & freely I admit my mistakes & without shame I correct them.

Each one of us must have some vitamin supplements – be it in form of people or practices but something to help us stay strong and keep moving positively.

Small & simple fundas but they really make my life stress-free. These vitamin supplements may not suit everyone but they make my life healthy…Life is a roller-coaster & every situation will bring some surprises and not all will be pleasing so all we need to do is…Accept it & Live it.
