And the zebra colors continue..

Walloping myself from some unknown sense of self pity, this week has been spent in shades of black and white..

An epitome of how your physical appearance can portray your emotional state of mind, today again I spend wearing a Reebok shirt (black and white)..

As someone aptly asked me.."what is with you and your zebra week?" where have all the colors gone? that is exactly what I have been wondering...I am a colored person..the brighter the colors, the better..and suddenly all pretense at happiness has been shed off to personify all that this heart is feeling..

Carrying on something is difficult...i start off with this one line of thought..."and the zebra colors continue"..... and now the charm of even carrying on writing this post is lost...

There is a lot of hypocrisy in the world...something that is justified for you is wrong when someone else does it to you..why are there double standards? Why isn't life so simple, like following a straight line..where there is are no moral tussles and following your heart does not mean stepping on toes and hurt egos and your pure intensions are neither misinterpreted nor distorted..

There are so many questions..so many whims and wishes waiting to be granted..so much to do..sooooo much to accomplish..but the fundamental question remains...why are things the way they are??

Things to do when the weather is great and you are stuck in office !!

It has rained happily and heavily last night, with thunder showers that have made the next morning apt for an excursion..are you still stuck in office, moaning inside, looking out of the window? Oh I know I am.

·         So the first thing on my checklist is to make a note of this suffering in the form of a new piece for my blog.

·         Next, if you work in a company that lets you be on the phone, taking to clients, then this is your time to make a move. Call up the person you would rather spent the day with and engage in some interesting conversation under the open sky outside, giving you the pleasure of a nice walk in the breeze.

·         If that is not the case, then see if you can arrange a meeting, as far away from your office as possible. You get the option of a long drive in this beautiful weather; and after the meeting, you don’t really have to come back to your boring office.

·         If that is not an option, and your company allows you some “creative time-out”, you should be chalking up the  bill by now.

·         For those with no such options to avail, may be it is time to make a bank visit for an hour or two with some hidden lunch plans up your sleeve.

·         Still no luck?? Didn’t someone miss out on giving a birthday treat this month? Gang up on the poor person right now, and drag the whole group out for a lunch on his expense. Bet you’ll have a great time.

·         Or for that matter, when was the last time, you met your counterpart or client to discuss business? Go out for an official lunch and squeeze in some pleasant time for yourself as well.

·         Now ideas are getting a little tricky.  Are you allowed to have meetings in the open? Pick up your laptop and march out with your team for an official brainstorming session (to discuss last night’s game).

·         Well, there is the obvious thing to do..don’t work, sit, gossip,(and as my friend says) gawk..  ;)

But more than anything else, don’t let anybody mess with your mood..as long as you are determined to enjoy this weather, no grumpy boss, no stupid co-worker can mess with your spirit…so enjoy this weather and make sure no work is done, till you decide to roll up your sleeves and get to it…!!
