The Season of Judgment



It's that time of the year when everyone of us will be judged for the work that we have been doing in the last one year. Be it an LKG kid or the CEO of a multinational company, this is the month when our work is weighed and judged and we are scaled by our performances. It is absolutely fine if you feel your misjudged by someone. It is ok for an LKG kid if he/she cannot recite a rhyme at the end of the academic year, and it is equally fine if a manager doesn't meet few of his goals and objectives in  a year. If you fail miserably this year it doesn’t mean you have failed your life. Every one of us were born to fulfill higher objectives by God, than what your mark sheets or appraisals at work talk about. The purpose in life is to live true to yourself and to the work that you are destined to do everything else will fall in place, as the saying goes "if you want something the world conspires in helping you achieve it". Do not base your life's objectives with that of the work or school, flunking in a year or being chucked out of a company is not the end of life. In fact such failures give you better experiences and opportunities for you to learn from every miserable decisions that led to such failures. To every little kid who has faced annual exams for the first time, to every anxious adolescent who has faced your board's for the first time, to every fellow companion who are facing appraisals at work, never let anyone judge you in life, always YOU be your own manager and keep appraising you for a better YOU.

Howling success

The picture says it all!! The colours, my little rabbit has brought into my life!!
Ten months of anxiety and nine hours of labor!! You made me unconcious with your little cry!! That's all I knew when I was in ICU!!
First month I never knew how to carry you!!
Second month I dint know how to feed you!!
Third month I still had difficulty in feeding you, but you somehow managed to adjust with this new lady and you started recoginizing I was your mom!!
Fourth month you took me by surprise when you rolled over for the first time!! By now you also knew how to smile.
Fifth month sleepless nights began to dawn, late night feedings made our bond strong!!
Sixth month you learnt to crawl and for your  half birthday you were dressed like a doll!!
Seventh month was the first time you ate food and you were a pro at it, "Go bananas" was an idiom that you took too seriously!!
Eight month you first hit the sea to see sunset and thus you became a part of our regular outings!!
Nine months you managed to stand holding on to me and to hear you utter "Amma" was a bliss!!
Ten months you started to own your first set of friends and you also learnt how to make a mess with your toys!!
Eleven months was the hardest phase for me to leave you and join work, but you so confidently said bye and assured me our bonding and love will only grow stronger no matter what this world throws upon us!!
One year I have unlearnt what this adulthood has thaught me and from your childish charm I have learnt to smile and be happy and to keep learning from every small thing in this world!!






More thoughts on my learning

The biggest takeaway for me on NLP was think in the Desired state, Can we think only about what we want all the time, yes we do have the pow...
