being lethargic







Being lethargic...



I am lethargic, lazy and slow.



And this is only for the activities which are probably most important in my life.



So , if tomorrow I am supposed to rise early and leave for office, its herculean for me to perform.



No.. its not because i don't like to wake up at time. Neither it is because of escapism from my responsibilities. I believe there are very few people in this world who avoid their responsibilities. They all know whats important for them.



But , what is it that retards me when i approach these important daily tasks. I believe its the desire to achieve quick results. I will be very quick in getting up from sleep and dress up for a movie,even if i was informed at a short notice.



My body's response to this urgent requirement of getting up and defying the 'law of laziness' would be astounding.



Whats the reason for this new life which i gather to get ready for the movie?



Well, the answer could be only one. And it is, the quick enjoyment i receive after putting in effort ,in getting ready for the movie. The quick enjoyment while watching the movie.



I could foresee,rather my conscience(which is also very mean,like me... by the way , i consider my conscience and myself two different entities.. my conscience advised me to do so) helped me to foresee the pleasure of watching a movie with pop corns and cold drink. And the attractive part of the incentive is that i will get all the pleasure in an hour, as soon as i reach the cinema hall.






hence, this is it. I have found it. I do everything quickly which ensures a quicker result. Otherwise, things are quite different in my pace to do things.






Take another example-



If i feel,someday, that i need to shed some weight, i will decide to wake up early in the morning and jog for some time. Now , this ain't difficult for me. in fact I am a morning person. I generally wake up early. But to perform this task of getting up and jogging will be a challenge.



Simply because of the fact that i am not getting the result of 'losing my weight' quickly. It will take a long time to happen. An uninterrupted rhythm of waking up early and going for a jog. So, it will never happen that i maintain a habit of jogging.






In a nutshell,



a man is always guided by his thirst of quicker results. It is seldom that a man realizes the worth of continued effort. And when he/she realizes ,it is often too late. May be, the men who comprehend this truth( and most importantly.implement it in their lives, because we all know the truth. Its just that we don't implement it) and selflessly(to a certain extent) imply it in their routines that they taste success. Otherwise, its only a game of chance. You win or lose,depending on which day is it today.

roger federer...







Roger Federer.. He is impressive.. very impressive..
I think he is one of those few personalities who actually go well with the things they endorse..
Rolex and Roger Federer look dashing.. His calm,sedate looks define his aura.. The Man..
The meticulous play he showcases is synonymous with the finesse of Rolex... and thanks to the advertisement maker, he/she has done a master piece in selecting/drafting/designing the ad..enjoy the art work which is one of the best duo selection done till date..



i hope you like the photo collection..

mumbai rains

rain..
i Had no prejudices for rains. It was a mere act of God for me. In fact i never paid any attention to the question "whether i should hate or like rains?". For a common man, rain is welcomed if he/she is sitting in the peace of home, snacks, tea and TV. Else , its a disturbance. Disturbance to his whole schedule. You come out of your home and find the muddy drenched roads. Wear a slipper or fold up your pants.. the pants will get soiled. I wonder how difficult it is for a door to door salesman to sell in the rainy season( worse if he has to sell something which has to be sold dry). And this comparison energises me for the next day... coz i know that i have the luxury of an a/c cab and thus no reasons to complain...
Happy selling...

Goa does business


its not easy to digest the fact that Goa does business; not for me atleast.
Of late, i have been traveling to Goa for business trips. When i started , i was sceptical about the probablity of business in Goa. I wondered, who would run business in Goa( you need real astutes,to run a business!!; and how do i expect to find some in goa??)...
After all Goa is all about liqour, dance, party, fishes and seas...
Now my prespective has changed. Infact i feel that i was wrong but .. partially..

I have many people there.
and one thing i found common is the need for money( which is quite obvious).
Now, the unique thing about this behaviour is the attitude with which money is desired.
They are still having a laid back attitude. And they dont change.
It is all to do with the pace with which the city moves. Grocery stores open at around 8-9 but showrooms at around 11-12(quite normal..).. but then the afternoon approaches and shops are again shut for atleast 2-3 hours.. may be its there lunch time(but who does a lunch in 3 hrs.??)..
and when its night.. goans call it a day quite early..By 9 it seems 1130...
and this is Panjim i am refering to,the capital.. Dont know what happens in rest of Goa..
I am unhappy with this attitude of Goans.. It retards my desire to do business there..
HOWEVER- I also feel good about it.. I enjoy the casual approach toward life. I relate it to my college days when my only motif was to pass the exam.. and stay in college an then find a job..
The portuegese culture gives Goa a different tinge than other states, greenry is all around.. and most importantly people are good. Heart warming and pleasing( but it seems ,now they too are learning the tricks of the trade...haha..).. i will continue with this blog. some time later
