LIFE : AS YOU LIKE IT

LIFE : AS YOU LIKE IT

Why do we wait for something or someone all the time , why don’t we just turn around and start with where we are who we are as there will be never a perfect day to start living ….

There are no absolutes, no black and white , a lot of blackish white and whitish black and greys, so we need to start where we are , with what we are, who we are and start living ….the way we want to live as they live the life you love and love the life you live.

 The question remains why do we need someone’s sanction, someone’s approval to make us happy or find complete contentment. May be we are looking for reassurance that we are doing the right thing the right way …but  there is no right or wrong , there is your way and my way….the big question is how make my right work for you and vice versa….life is a sum of parts , there are no wholes, we just need to embrace every moment as it is in all its beauty or ugliness as the case , whether what is thrown at us by fate is   good or bad, we must try and accept it with  equal ease with complete equanimity. Karma, fate or destiny is the only way to explain why some people seem to have it all while others struggle all the way to heaven or hell.
But one constant is whether life is , with riches or rags,  life is what happens to us when we are making other plans we will falter, we will make mistakes, ….so the crux remains we need to make the best of what we have , life is not just what  happens to us,  but what we make of it . It may turn out the way you had though but it is still beautiful,  you might be stressed, frustrated, you dreams might not be realized and  your ambition might be thwarted but don’t let negativity set in, try and greet life and all its trials and tribulations with equanimity. Often we our the obstacle for ourselves, free your mind and soul from the pressure of excelling in every arena , it is alright to be just fine, life is not about superlatives, superheroes are only in books and movies..letting go can be liberating , just do your best even in the worst of times
, you're going to mess up sometimes, it's a universal truth. But that is the beauty, you learn , you improvise as you go along , you live . The idea is to e make of when our time comes. We have no regrets no disappointments, we just have memories and moments and life well lived . life is a gift, it is a miracle , it is a  journey, a monumental one  as you embark upon it , enjoy it .
Live for now, this moment as it is, as you are walk barefoot on dewy grass, enjoy the sunset, smell a flower, watch a child laugh, let the wind play with your hair , let your hir down, unwind and let go , soothe your senses  and relax your nerves
All that matters is that the world is a beautiful place  and you are alive and kicking to enjoy it.

WORK FROM HOME, IS IT HERE TO STAY/ WFH: A FAD OR THE NEW NORMAL?

-
It seems that someone has pressed the pause button in our lives.  Suddenly, the frenetic pace of the average urban office goer, synonymous with rush hour traffic jams and back-to-back meetings, has changed irrevocably. The office conferences have moved online, and hours of commuting have been replaced by endless hours of staring at the computer and incessant video conferencing calls. Say hello to the new workplace, your desk, in the comfort of your home. With the  lockdown , we are now at a crucial crossroad in the fight against  Covid -19; the virus has crippled economies and shut down countries and while we deal with the enormous  healthcare challenges, the economic challenge might just be the more far reaching one.  As  lockdown  restrictions are eased and people return to work, the question remains, is work-from-home ( WFH ) here to stay or is it just a fad, a forced choice that companies are making in times of social distancing due to the pandemic. Interestingly, back in

Istanbul; The magical city where the east meets the west .

meets the west. “The World is a book and those who do not travel read only a page” St. Augustine. Mark Twain said “Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you did not do than the things you did do. So throw off the bowlines, sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sail. Explore!” … The word travel probably originates from French word “ t ravail”. The literal meaning of the  word “travel” is to go from one place to another, to undertake a journey.   And whether,  one travels out of choice or compulsion; for business or pleasure, whether one travels in business class or aboard a luxury cruise or  goes backpacking on a shoestring budget, there is this indescribable joy in exploring the unknown and unraveling the unseen.    Whatever is the reason for travel, one indisputable fact remains that travel is a great teacher. Travel teaches precious and priceless lessons of life. In fact, travel is the best education you can get.  Travel
