We the workoholics!!

We the GenX want to make it BIG! Extremely ambitious! Want more in less time! So we end up working 12 to 14 hours a day! And we dont stop working! Yup we dont! Its actually funny when you hear people using professional lingo without actually realising what are they doing! Like this workoholic guy (typical HR bloke) who met my friend for a wedding alliance!

Workoholic: So.. where do you see yourself 5 years from now?

Duh.. what is she supposed to answer! mopping after a 3 year old!

Workoholic: What are your strenghts?

I can test it right away! Here, let me take my best shot at you!

Workoholic: I think marriage is all about team work!

God! Dude hope it is remains a two member team.. and stagnant growth!!!

Workoholic: Ok! Lets do some situation analysis! What would you do in a situation where you have an issue with my mother and cannot sort out the situation with her?

I would rather punch you! Gosh! situation analysis and all!

Workoholic: I really like how our conversation is going, i would like to speak to you a couple of more times to see how it goes! Like probationary period!

Da de da... probation period!!! i quit without notice!

Workoholic: So Miss. P, it was nice meeting you and we will let you know about today!

I will let you know right here! Go jump for all i care!

Now this is really a situation with a HR guy! The SW geeks are the worst! Think they only understand code language! Simple and straight language is completely lost on them! Oh god! please save us from all the weirdos in the world!

Relativity

No! I am not talking about Einstein's theory! I am talking about how we perceive our lives. I work for an investment management firm and we publish the returns for portfolios relative to the benchmark. We are like those portfolios and are always compared against standards set by the society! Who decides these standards?

Healthy competitions are ok by me! What's life without race??? But sometimes its unruly! Like this girl in office wanted to know how much money another colleague's fiance was making! Well... hellooo...its time to grow up woman! Its not a industry standard! That we have to collect stats to see whose husband/fiance/boyfriend makes more money! There is actually a criteria of search in the matrimonial websites for brides and grooms in the band with of how much one makes! Well! I am not claiming to be non-materialistic but materialism should be based one's ability to buy pretty things! And definitely not how much you are marrying!

Who defines success? Does success mean making money? Travelling? Owning a mansion? Being married to somebody good looking/rich? Its so cliche!! Its high time we raised our curtains of perception and enjoy life absolutely!!

Loving and Living my life successfully!
Absolutely happy:)

I was walking across the coffee shop with my girl friends and noticed a lil girl blissfully happy with her new red balloon! That made me buy a balloon for myself and i didn't look any less happy than the lil girl! Well of course, the balloon seller must think i am a retard or something buy hey! who cares:) Why is that when we grow up we forget the lil things in life that used to make us so happy?? I like doing kiddish stuff! People may say i am not emotionally mature but that's just me! Below are some loony ideas that you could try and liven up!

• Buy yourself a balloon!
• Make faces at complete strangers! (I once a made a face with a tbbbbt... at a girl who was giggling away at me, dont think she will giggle at anybody else for a really long time)
• Jump a compound wall! (Me and girlfriends always jump a compound wall across office and go buy a cup of tea in a tiny shack)
• Do a lil dance or you could even blow a kiss like a diva in front of the camera in the ATM! (It must be so boring for the security person who watches the tape. Lets just entertain his life a little)
• Watch Legally Blond with mute button on with your friends (Mouth your own dialogues, you can get really creative! Its fun when you throw in some dramatic bollywood dialogues in between)
• Buy a peppermint stick! Who said its meant for kids?
• Watch back to back cartoon movies! (Mulan, Beauty and the Beast, Cindrella...)
  
• Play with your neighbourhood kids! Trust me its super duper fun! (I won 10 marbles and i am the newest champ in the girls marble league)
  
• Wipe the dust of your bicycle, tie some tassels around the handle bar and zip around town!
• Pretend you are sherlock holmes and spy on a neighbour you dont like:) You can even inolve your best friend to be Dr. Watson!

Well! Go ahead! Loosen up and smile like a kid without any care in the world! And remember you are as old as you think:)
Until then,
6 year old trapped in a 26 year old bod!
