“If your business depends on you, you don’t own a business, you have a job. And it’s the worst job in the world because you’re working for a lunatic.”

Crazy Commute
Recently I had a chance to go to Mumbai for project training. For this, I had to stay there for 3 weeks. Of these, for 2 weeks I had to travel more than 3.5 hours to and fro from office.
Add the 9 hour work day and one hour cab timings, the total hours I gave to the job was 9 + 1 + 3.5 = 13.5!
Once I reached home the only thing I was good for was warm plate of food and cool bed.
The (bone tiring) commute and lack lustre life had me thinking and inspired this poem...
crazy commute
daily grind
no time to do
the things you like
we work
like crazies
we wo-o-o-rk
like nothing else is there to life
crazy! crazy! crazy acts
crazy! crazy! crazy acts
crazy roads,
vehicles and companions
no one knows
why they are there
on these streets
we run around
getting nowhere
doing things
for which we don't really care
crazy! crazy! crazy actions
crazy! crazy! crazy actions
crazy people! crazy actions!
crazy commute! crazy commute!
cr-a-a-z-y commute!

Believe In Yourself
This content is from a '07 mail that I was about to delete.
Believe In Yourself
There will be days when you get up in the morning and things aren't the way you had hoped they would be. That's when you have to tell yourself that things will get better.
There are times when people disappoint you and let you down. But those are the times when you remind yourself to trust your own judgments and opinions, to keep your life focused on believing in yourself.
There will be challenges to face and changes to make in your life, and it is up to you to accept them.
Constantly keep yourself headed in the right direction for you. It may not be easy at times, but in those times of struggle, you will find a stronger sense of who you are. So when the days come that are filled with frustration and unexpected responsibilities, remember to believe in yourself and all you want your life to be.
Because the challenges and changes will only help you to find the goals that you know are meant to come true for you.
Keep believing in yourself.

The Guest House
By Rumi
This being human is a guest house. Every morning a new arrival.
A joy, a depression, a meanness, some momentary awareness comes as an unexpected visitor.
Welcome and entertain them all!
Even if they're a crowd of sorrows, who violently sweep your house empty of its furniture, still, treat each guest honorably.
He may be clearing you out for some new delight.
The dark thought, the shame, the malice, meet them at the door laughing and invite them in.
Be grateful for whoever comes because each has been sent as a guide from beyond.

Brilliant Saying by Rumi
Your task is not to seek for love, but merely to seek and find all the barriers within yourself that you have built against it.
