Loving Work!!!

Most of us, who are reading this are working in jobs... mostly in the corporate sector. They don't want to admit, but many of us are working in minimum wage jobs - the form of modern slavery. Much of the true back breaking work is being done by machines all around the world, but for the jobs which require even a hint of human touch - cafes and restaurant's, the waiters and servers are all forms of slavery. So the big question arises - how to get oneself out of slavery... the job or otherwise?

The key is to look deep within yourself... DO THE JOBS WHICH YOU ACTUALLY LOVE...Money will come automatically; after some years...

First write down a list of skills you think you have. Then tear another page and write down the things that you would love to do. There must be some common areas for both. If there are not, try expanding the list. You may find some of your skills match the things that you love. That's great!!!

The first step is over. Now comes the harder part - ARE YOUR SKILLS MARKETABLE?

If you're a college grad, then you're in good luck - just take the credits you need and you'll be on your way onto a more satisfying life.

But most of us aren't so lucky - the best way to tackle this situation will be to take the things you love - make them an ever expanding hobby. For example if you like photography, learn advanced photography courses online, buy a good DSLR, join a photography club and go for some photo walks. After developing your skills, you can slowly market the photographs as art. sounds simple isn't it? But wait a sec - it would be difficult to do so particularly with your current job.

The best way to tackle this situation is to be enthusiastic about your hobby while trying to monetize it. There is no shame in monetizing your hobby. There will be road blocks  - but it is the one to success...

And then one fine days finally, you will be financially free!!! and will work for your dreams!!!

Fruitless Efforts to Fitness....

Today after a long time I realized that I had started to slack again in terms of exercising... I had got fatt... I mean very at.... Now the BMI shows that I am on the border-line of over-weight and obese. Hence I have to do something about it and need to do it fast.....

I'm a night owl; but today after setting nearly 8 alarms, got up at 6am....

Damn, getting up at 6am is a lot of effort.... Seriously lot... I know I have to wake up... but both my mind and my body seem to be in another dimension. Seriously.. damn why does the body seem to move so slow in the morning.... It feels like being inside a zombies body.... You know what to do... but cant completely control it... BRAINS!!!!

Jokes apart, getting the body to move in a coordinated matter is a whole different story... Arms are floppy and even legs wont command your minds order....

Exercising (to be precise cardio) after a long time left like my heart is going to burst out of the rib cage... i could feel that small organ pumping fast... I mean very fast and my muscles are getting tired... soon after about 30 mins completely wiped out....

Then while relaxing came to know there were some muscles which were aching I didn't even know they existed... Guess they were buried under the multitude layers of fat....

Now my goal is to be fit.... Would fancy a six pack abs... but I know its out of my league... just want to be normal looking right now....

From today will be controlling my diet as well as loads of exercise for each and every day till I reach my target....

Hopefully I will try to stick to my plan.. Wishing me best of luck!!!

Sick Germs!!!

Getting sick is kind of lame!!!

You are free for the day, fucking no work to go to, (saying to those who take a sick leave instead of working their asses off even when they are sick and realllly need some rest) seems like a dream - but damn it isn't....

You are sick... really sick; you don't have control over your body - don't know what the fuck it is up to.... You just want to go in the sun and enjoy - but stuck in bed.... Know that feeling - been there....

Don't forget the added bonus - special trips to the hospital or doctors chambers.... Every damn hospital smells nearly the same... The fumes are irritating and nauseating... How the hell doctors and nurses work there is beyond my imagination....

Imagine you being a doctor or a nurse..... For every fucking workday you have to see sick people.... Don't they ever get tired of curing sick guys.... I'm actually pretty thankful for doctors myself... they saved my ass more times than I can count... Just don't like the experience....

Plus the medicines - they really make you sick... Pharma companies are actually trying to make the medicines taste bitter... And you trust the doctor whatever injection he gives or whatever drugs he recommends.... And you take it all; never even know whats creeping inside them or how will they react inside your body...

I had an allergy to a supposedly "medicine" given by the doctor... I trusted him of course - and I still do trust doctor's medicines... But on that fateful day the alleged medicine exploded like an fuckin nuclear bomb inside me... Never I had been so miserable in my whole life... I am feeling dreaded and fearful just thinking about it.... I have never ever been as close to death as that medicine did me... My whole boys was in pain; my fucking head exploded... could see lights everywhere for more than an hour.... My body went to the most primitive of human responses and guess what - I just vomited the shit out of everything I ate for the last two days.... Then came the solace.... "INNER PEACE" - being exhausted after fighting the devil medicine inside me........

When you gotta, you do visit the hospital... its unavoidable... whether it is some disease or some fracture.. or whatever shit nature does to you... You have to be strong and healthy again, and hence visits are necessary sometimes... My god, I love insurance companies when you are covered for a health insurance... If you are not; let God save you... Hospital bills are so huge that they can leave you penniless if you aren't covered enough. Forget that vacation or that swanky new ride you were thinking.... Now you will be thinking how can I pay my god-damn huge hospital bills.... Every test, every scan of any kind is so costly... Do they make hospital equipment of gold? Apparently many of those equipment are made of rare earth metals... some even cost more than gold.... And surgery rooms are very hard to keep germ free and you do like sterile when the doctor guy is going to butcher you up....

You know, the root cause of human suffering - struggle for existence and the will to live.... Those are the fundamental things present in each animal - and we strive to survive in this harsh world... The fucking germs - bacteria, viruses, phages, amoeba - they are quintessential for the world in which we live... In fact we can't live without them; but damn I hate them when they wage wars against our body and even being billions of times smaller than us they can make us literally weak on our knees....But thankfully those periods are rare; and God bless penicillin and the antibiotic revolution along with modern medicine for saving bazillions of lives.... Otherwise, more than a fourth of us wouldn't be even living till now surfing the net.... and making a poker face whenever we see or write LOL on the net....

Underdogs vs. Goliath

This pic above really amuses me....

The David vs. Goliath story....

David has gotta win... we are always fighting goliaths in our day to day life and damn... we lose....

The corporations, cartels and governments are all Goliaths....

We are all ting and puny in front of them....

But do we have to scared and afraid..... Definitely and firmly NO!!!!

The ways of the universe are truly mysterious... sometimes we achieve something which is totally beyond us.... for example I had a serious ailment which could not be cured normally... I had snakes growing in my leg... literally (excess growth of veins).... But then fighting back and after a series of operations I am perfectly normal and healthy....

Each of us has a personal experience which is totally beyond us... just pure luck along with loads of hard-work.... Hard-work is a mighty term; but better term would be smart-work.... Everyone works hard; the smarter way one does the hard work is the winner....

We just have to believe in our dreams; cause that is the fire which keeps our spark glowing and we can make that spark into our own personal fire....

If our fire is string enough, you can control the world... seriously....

Consider what Hitler was... I'm not saying that he must be cordoned for all the terrible evils he has done... But we have to appreciate one thing; he was a fighter - stood up for what he believed in... from a downtrodden family - a person who wanted to study art in Vienna 'Academy of Fine Arts'... He became the most respected person among Nazis (damn I do hate them); but from such humble beginnings became the most feared person in the world....

The world is full of opportunities for us.... We just have to take the right ones...(that's not easy at all making right choices in life... life is really a messed up place)

The choices we make define who we are and makes up humans....

Hence we have to fight, claw deep and struggle to defeat everything and everyone to survive....

Finally we all are the "SUPREME HUNTERS" in this small planet called Earth!!!!!

Damn Money!!!!

F#$%ing Money!!!! Why does it always have to run away from us!!!!!

Wouldn't the world be a much better place without it!!!!

Why do most of us run behind a few scraps of paper with which we can buy whatever hell we want????

Why is money equated with happiness? Why do some people are obscenely rich while others are so poor that they cannot afford to buy anything?

Money really does make the world go around.... and best part is it is almost fictional.... It is the guarantee of the government that the money is valuable.... Can we take for granted any word said by the government!!!!

History of Money is interesting enough!!!!

Money was invented long before we were industrialized. It was eternally present as mankind itself.
Money in earlier days meant specially cut stones, shells and even salt!!!! Some parts of globe used even huge round granite wheels heavier than a car as currency!!!

But today money has assumed a different form. For the convenience we have money in shape of paper which is guaranteed to have value by the government of the country in which you live in. This was first started by the emperor of China (the same country which gave us noodles... popularized as ramen by Japanese) but slowly gained acceptance throughout the world....

Wait can we fake some paper bills???? Absolutely not.... Now-a-days currency has a gazillion security measures built into it and the process of creation is a carefully guarded secret... otherwise we all would be millionaires.....

Now let us see the psychological aspect of money. In fact there isn't any psychology to it... Just made that up!!!!

Money is equated with status and power in the society. Money gives us the purchasing power to buy anything we like. But does money guarantee happiness? This is question which is highly debated. But both you and me know the answer for this!!!! Definite yes!!!! If not why would be we running behind money!!!!

In some economies yes, more money i.e. average of per capita income of the population shows that greater the money, greater is the happiness. But many underdeveloped and developing worlds are happier than their richer cousins. Anomaly? I think not!!!

Money is valued and cherished by capitalist economies. But hunter gatherers (i mean naked primitives in remote parts of the globe) who have solely depended on nature may find this to be odd, sometimes obscure.
Why do people give such a damn to some silly thing as paper??? According to them, the only good use of money is as kindling!!!!

The money is sure to give us all the worldly pleasures but it does give us satisfaction and contentment. But can money buy happiness???? (Second time repeated the same question)

I can't answer this...... You have to decide n your own......

Happiness is a very relative term, but in general people derive true happiness from their human relations (spouses, lovers and of course family) and happiness derived from spending money.....

Human relations, most importantly love gives us immense happiness that can never be achieved just by giving money. But it sure does feel good when we receive inheritance from our family.....

The emotional aspect makes us feel good, be content in our life and thus makes us a better human being. The rich poor divide is increasing and we are the one to blame for it. Today 2% of population holds 70% of the wealth in the world. The annual profits of companies like General Electric and Ford exceeds the entire budget of all the countries of Sub Saharan Africa.... Of course how will a desert provide anything... Let along money.....

Money is the one thing which is driving this world... (Seriously dude, I have repeated myself twice) Money comes to those who have power; power comes from taking responsibility and leading people.... Also, some ass-holes get money due to sheer luck or being born with a silver spoon.... into some royal family or inheritance of some major business.....

So lets garner up more of this thing... For sure, one thing I can tell you and the world believes in....
Money definitely equates with success!!!!!!

F#$%ing Responsibility

Province... How ya doing lads!!!!.... Sorry for the Old English or my attempt at Old English....

Responsibility is a big word.... Actually never realized its value until around 6 months back....

I have always been fed with a silver spoon and I got pretty much what ever I wanted....

But doing things on my own stint took me places... made me change cities... landed me a job... taught me a lot about responsibilities....

Its funny how such a long word have a meaning that deep and yet this simple... you take a task and make sure you do it right... If you screw up in anyways; you know who is to blame; YOU!!!!

That is one of the great things that work life has taught me... I'm not saying that I wasn't responsible enough earlier... I'm just saying that I used to make more liberty to make careless mistakes for which others had to pay....

Its this teeny tiny thing which everyone shrugs off as in the above picture... Let the Blame Games Begin!!!!

But taking responsibility is great.... Sure you are accountable and you have to make others work so that they are every bit as accountable as you are - but you get much more in return...

You know that you are going to make someone happy if you do your task responsibly... You may not like what you're doing; but the end satisfaction is totally worth it.... It makes you grow into a better person....

And you can apply it in your work as well as everyday life.... I have noticed that it is particularly useful in work-life... Those who take on greater share of responsibilities are noticed, promoted earlier than everyone else and get the highest incentives.... They are also those who work beyond the stipulated times, know what are their duties and how to complete them efficiently and overall take a greater burden of work load upon themselves....

I can tell you by all the meager experience that I have; being responsible is difficult game... So many seen and unseen factors topple you... But here in lies the distinction of being just a job and a career that you actually love....

In your family, being responsible to your spouse and kids will truly help to learn the value of relationships.... Relationships are always a tricky business to handle and thus they are always shared responsibilities.... The pair should always work for what is in their best interests...

Hence, don't shun responsibilities like I did; embrace them to have a better life!!!!

Holy Godliness!!!!

We all have faith.. almost all of us (about 98%) for sure... Rest 2% are either agnostic, atheist or don't have any damned religion....

I am one of those damned.... I am an atheist.....

Hence, I don't believe in some higher power or any religion for that matter.... For me all religions, I mean all religions are just a load of crap..... (Actually was born into a religion and still write it in official forms requiring it.... but damned... thats just for the official purpose)....

Its not as if I don't visit any holy places as such... (Rarely... once in a blue moon I am dragged due to social obligations into going to temples, or churches or mosques) What I d there is just admire the beauty of the structures... But whats their purpose and what goes inside there I am not at all interested in any degree.....

I find some people religious nut-jobs (not to offend any feeling here... People have their right to religion as I have my freedom for speech). Memorizing verses of Bhagwad Gita, or Bible or Quran.... Sure those religious books do provide some examples as to how to lead a good human life... But why don't people understand that they are just books... Meant to be read, enjoyed and hopefully which can help you to become a better human being.... But memorizing them to their core and delving into its deeper meaning is bull-shit because there isn't anything much there....

I don't see how people foolishly believe something their priest says cause "they are speakers to the god!!!"
Damn, I hate priest of all kind - they are sort of manipulative bitches which will feed your brain with crap from childhood and slowly you will start believing them.... People some things happen because of coincidences and probabilities... not because of a higher power is trying to help you.... You definitely have to get out of their trap!!!!

If that were the case there would have been no children starving in Africa, no homeless people and everything would be rosy... but it isn't. If there were a god, and we were its children... God would be an awful parent who needs to be sued in the courts for neglect of their children.... We can free murderers in the world and pardon crime lords... coz God will save us all and sure they will get punishment in heaven or hell...

Fantasizing won't help much  - the fact being when you die you die and there is nothing beyond that.... People have wars over religion.... that is at-least one thing which no religion should do and no religion truly does.... Half witted people kiss their priests asses in the faint hope that God will be good to them and pardon them; they do all sorts of heinous crimes as man-slaughter.... that too "In the name of God"...

If you truly want to make a change, make a change within yourself; be a better parent, loving husband or wife, treat you co-workers and juniors and your kids better.... It is your actions which the world sees and noble actions do get recognized.... So its time to change yourself and be a better person than believing that a savior might come to rescue your souls... You can yourself save a few souls by being kind and generous... There is no need of a god to tell you truly what the right thing is....

I don't truly understand when people will start looking beyond god and festivals and actually just celebrate the gift of life as is!!!!

I'm hoping to see that day at least in my lifetime and hope that 2% of atheists or agnostics grow to a larger mainstream size!!!!
