Addition is not always bad !!!

Addiction….not necessarily, is always related to getting stoned and losing senses… (At least people from tier-2 cities like me would have had this perception at some point of time in their lives!!)

All of us have few likings and interest (things we do in free time) and when we start pursuing any one of them a lot more than others, it becomes a hobby…..i.e. something we do in most of the free time….But Addiction is one step ahead of both of these, it’s about that one-thing-we-do-all-the-time or we-wish-to-do-all-the-time stage….when all you can think of is that one particular thing and it wanders all around your head 24*7 (yea it does! Like a carefree bird, when caught and kept in a cage, flies here and there to come out of it)….And only who has experienced it can tell you how difficult it is to concentrate on any other task at hand when this craving to pursue your addiction kicks right there at your adrenalin …. Biggest example is right here, I am writing this blog leaving not less than ten tasks (half of them have already become critical and urgent) during office hours, using office laptop and internet :-)….Addicted, ain’t I??

Well, all my past records say that I have been an efficient employee who has met most of the deadlines, if not all…..and had this craving to write wasn’t kicking me so hard , I would have been finishing those tasks only.

I have never had anything so closed to my heart that it shall flow along with blood in my nerves….& I get involved in it so much to call it an addiction. But writing Blogs is turning into an Addiction for me (few weeks back I had completed a post at 1:30 in night)…And I am loving it :-).

Anything that happens to me or around goes into my mind’s invisible filter of can-be-converted-into-a-blog post-or-not and all those events and activities that don’t fit in the former category don’t seem to bother me much now a days ….as I am more concerned about the happenings that can be converted into a Blog-post.

I have started cherishing those silent moments with myself when I am all alone or in a crowd observing the surroundings and making notes in my mental diary…Some of them have already been crafted in to the words in form of my previous posts and others are either at nascent phase or yet to be phrased…..

Stay tuned……..Shall continue the odyssey with many more ……

“Archaic” to “Most-In”: In Three days flat

It took three days for my mind to get struck with the idea of writing this post. This post is all about my realization of being outmoded and getting the way out too.

I have had (read had to have) the pleasure of traveling by public transport from Delhi to Gurgaon for last three days (All thanks to the accident that happened few days back which had justified the money people like us spend over vehicle insurance)…. “Benefits from circumstances” is what I shall call it….so one of the very few benefits of traveling in a public transport, especially a Metro where we have one whole compartment dedicated to the finer sex, is that you get to see a good number of people around, that too with a close proximity…now what’s so great in it?....my take, Everything!….if you are a keen observant…..which is an attribute inbuilt in 99.99% (if not cent percent) of the women….wanna test?....ask any woman you see around about the dress/accessory she or anyone remotely acquainted wore in the last party …. Bingo! Another sixty seconds and you have all the details (Warning: Get ready to hear to more n more of “Views” and Very less “News”)…. Well that’s how we are, and I take pride in being both a Woman and a keen Observer :-)

First day when I entered the first compartment   ("Women-Only" compartment) of metro loaded with not less than hundred of beautiful lasses (don’t read me wrong, I didn’t like the sight very much!)….i was stunned…. No one looked as sleepy and rumpled as I was at around 7:30 in the morning (till then I thought it was natural), and it took me around five minutes to come to complete consciousness and realize that all the eyes that met mine (as half of them were closed, probably mesmerized with the music going in via earphones) were perfectly done with Kajal and Liner…Rest of the make-up was also intact….. Almost 90 percent of them sported trendy accessories including smart handbags and footwear….. My eyes, which were completely awaken (read popping out) by then, kept wandering from here to there and made a long list of to-be-bought stuff (category-wise, namely : urgently required/needs to be done by weekend/on priority….. see how efficiently I am using my management skills!!)

I wasn’t in a state to match up with any of them, so thought of taking shelter under the one common language every heart understands, Music….and ended up making fool of myself, FM doesn’t work inside a metro, and I don’t know why I never thought of using the 20 GB memory I carry in two of my phones for such a vital cause!!

Before three days I thought that accessory has to be matching with your attire…. Now I know how archaic I was…. I have observed its time about spontaneity, you like three of your bracelets, don’t get confused as to what to wear, wear them all together :-)……Wanna wear those yellow footwear with a formal brown shirt?? Or sporting darkest of your mascara/eye shadows on Monday??...Don’t hesitate, Go ahead…n If u think it might work…Just throw it on!!

Have learnt and unlearnt a lot in last three days….. Guess, that’s how life is….. It gives n takes….or takes n then gives…… Just be ready to accept that age old rules you follow, might not be the best bet for Future :-)

Anyways, It’s better late than never, I had all my favorite numbers in my phone the second day and was dressed with best of my understanding ….. Earphones in, n here I go…..

Sleepy??….Naah, when you look good, your body oozes energy and makes a web of positivity around…

All set to be somebody’s inspiration…..As they were mine…. :-)
