independence.....how much

after living about 8 and .5 yrs outside home in hostel , PG etc one gets used to a particular life style which has to be described in one word is " BINDASS"
under is bindass bazi will be watching late night movies , ordering pizza on impulse , lying around in bed for eternity , delaying bath on holidays , spending more time out of home in coffee shops , book shops , malls ....

having said all this i will not call it irresponsible attitude , but more of instinctive life style

coming back to home is quite a sobering experience it can be best summarised by song " hum tum song where rani complains about boy's attitude "
it is those small things like
wear slippers
comb hair
wear sweater while going out ( i am in delhi and it is dec)
time pe so jayo..
and absolute trivial ...what time u reached office , bus time pe mili...., kahan pahunche ho i agree these are all concerns of any parent and may be in their child' best interest , but doing all this means u cushion the fall of ur kid this world
u do not let him develop his own a sense of the world and leave him dependent on them

a parent is a mentor , a friend ..... making parents understand is very difficult

.....to be contd

what work will one do all day long?

this question seems to be at crux of all employee satisfaction( or lack of it).....even though on then surface
....package , CTC,perks seemi to be the most important parameters in work ....after a level one wants something more from a job
for some it may be an act of creation of something new , for other it may be power and as saying goes love begets love.....one can say power begets power

but the more important question one has to answer is this ....if money is taken care of what would you like to all day long
(apart from being on beach ....enjoying the view ...how long does one do that)
i experienced that when i changed jobs and tooka week break in between well at end of it i was saying well let me do some work

or is it that every work has a fatigue element after some time every work boring and rote

but what if one does what one loves doing always ...it could be a hobby whcih can be converted into a work which pays( for people who need it....others can inherit and still practice the hobby)

but there will be times when u just feel like doing nothing inspite working at what u luv
....so i guess there is more to things u luv...

marriages u attend

just came back after attending a wedding reception of a very good friend
really happy for my friend , but the evening left me a lot desired
In most of marriage functions the Bride and groom stand there putting their best face forward
But if marriage is a celebration then it seems that it is about the food , the jewellery , the clothes and loud blaring music which keeps the neighbours in locality jagte raho

If it is your friend' wedding should'nt u actually spend some time rather than people
coming----standing in a queue ----- introduction ----photo shoot (70mm)----- gifts
can't it be made more lively and informal , Bride and groom are dressed in easy to move clothes
they enjoy some time with friends recall those moments , people coming uo and narrating some good , some embarrasing moments of that person
and of course have a party........
