Divine Appraisal Discussion with God

Being a part of corporate culture can have a lot of impact on your daily life. Some of the common ones being using swipe card at home's entrance or at metros. But today I realised that office culture is more deeply rooted.
I had been to a temple. I have a belief that one can actually talk to the Almighty, just like talking to a friend. So I sat infront of God, closed my eyes and started my conversation. I organised my discussion (the way Appraisals are planned). Thanked Him for all the good things (start on positive note- Check). Then I mentioned the problems and issues in life (areas of improvement- Check). Then on the 'what ifs' in my life (Uncertainty and how they could have been handled- Check).
Thank 'God' , there was no scope for reverse feedback and asking for expectations!!
By now I had forgotten that I was in a temple and Praying to the Omnipresent God. Next I started setting targets on the solutions I needed. But how would God know what to do first? So I got to the next level, set priorities( wow!!). My eyes were still closed. I was about to set weightage for each task, when a ringing Bell got me back to reality.
Sudden realization dawned on what I was  doing. I was slightly embarrassed by the way my conversation turned into. I quickly said a Sorry to God and confessed that He knew things better.
I moved back with a weird smile on my face. I suddenly realized that I had something more to say. I got back and committed for a dakshina of 500 Rs and Coconut for the deity.( Incentives if expectations are met!!!)
On the way back home all I could think of was if others also had such Divine Appraisals or was it just me?

P.S- This write up is purely for fun. I have loads of faith in God, who is more than just a friend. Conversations will still happen :)

Que sera sera

One of my favorite Spanish Quotes 'Que Sera Sera' means 'what will be, will be'. This quote is so true. I may sound a bit philosophical but wanted to write this for quite some time now. There is a lot being said about being positive, dreaming and attracting what one wants,about not being broken on not getting what one wants. So many books are being sold on such topics and no doubts they make sense. Out of experience, I have realized that the base behind every advice is that what has to happen, will happen. One can't stop it. But one needs to accept what has happened and act accordingly. When a book talks about attracting what you want (say a bungalow), one can't just sit and keep dreaming. Actions need to be according to the intended goal. In achieving the said goal, we are sure to encounter a lot of obstacles. Beauty lies in facing them and planning the next steps. The world is actually a classroom, with each one being your peer and life is a very tough t...

Book Review- The Sialkot Saga by Ashwin Sanghi

When one of the best authors churns out his thoughts where fiction is mixed with history and also has a philosophical angle, we get a book which is an absolute page Turner! Again I will go by the attributes my review would be based on: Language: Impeccable is the word. Story and Pace: It's like a watching a movie where you can't wait for the suspense to unfold. You feel what the characters feel. Emotions, courage, power everything is demonstrated beautifully. There was one point I was questioning the need for exploring Hastinapur angle, but in the end I did get my answer. Pace of the story rarely slows down. One gets to witness various events, starting from India's Independence to the Mumbai attack. Political angle given to characters gives an opportunity to the readers to have a glimpse of India's political change, right from Indira Gandhi's time to Modi's. It is indeed a point to think on how GK(bookish one) can rather be taught in a story fo...

Power cut 'Memories'

I remember my childhood when in summers there was a specific time and duration for what we call 'power cut' in late evening. And that was time we all used to wait for. Our parents made sure we completed our homework by then, all their house hold work completed. When the moment came, lights went off everywhere. And an uproar of 'light gayiiiiii' was heard across. All the kids were out on the street. The only lights were candles at home, oil lit lamps at temples, moon and star shine. Hide and seek was best played like this. All the ladies used to gather and gossip, men used to discuss politics or office. Balconies and streets were filled with people. Everyone knew everyone. Teenage gangs played Antakshari and most of the time it was boys v/s girls version. If one was slightly more knowledgeable and wanted to show off, planets, stars, bikes were discussed. There were some days when we didn't go to play, but used to sit with mom dad and granny and listen to a story or...
