My attendance status in my office for the last month shows that out of twenty-five days, the number of on-time days was four. It has shown a tremendous growth from the previous month's status.
A few others, who belong to the same Homo sapiens species, make it a point to hit the biometric box on time. I read the disorder of being punctual is not a genetic disease.
What is there to bother much if I meet all my targets even if I am late? Or extend and compensate the minutes/hours that I missed in the beginning of the day?
But I must confess. I had always been trying to practice this virtue (not disease) punctuality since my schooldays. I do believe persistence makes you achieve the unattainable, however, after spending so many years on being on-time, I am giving up!
After the root-cause analysis, I found out that if a person is punctual to office:
* he/she may have no sense of responsibility at home or
* he/she may be bored of being at home or
* he/she may be lazy naturally and make their servants do all household work or
* he/she may have unhappy marriage or
* he/she may have no sense of parenting or
* he/she may be bad at grooming, incl. bathing, dressing-up, and making-up oneself or
* he/she may be an escapist or a quaker who escapes from city's traffic (face issues, don't escape) or
* he/she may be a workaholic (oh, an addict!!!) or
* he/she may suffer from insomnia.
If you are one among them, it's high time to take action and mend your ways immediately. It's not too late!

+++Go Positive+++
They say happiness lies within you.
So how to figure out to bring it out and experience? "This shall pass" and "hakuna mattata" are always there. But when you are down with depression, those phrases seldom emerge in your all-frustrated mind.
What we need is little bit of wide exposure. Having read a few sad and successful stories, we can always quote them when we are about to be down with that impending depression. If we are angry on someone or disappointed by any of our "dearest" ones, let's not make it go straight to our head. Turn your reaction, which probably may be angry words, frowns, or hanging face – ninety degree toward your positive mood. We will end becoming more happy, energetic, and even more successful in whatever endeavors you are handling at that time. Obviously, if not done so, the reaction otherwise will be more disastrous and may even lead you to browse on Google "How to commit suicide painlessly?"
As humans, who took millions of years to get evolved since the beginning of evolution, we should feel we are so special than any other species. We are the ones who are supposed to be imbibed with virtues like self-confidence, positive energy, happiness, and above all, the ability to think rationally. Let's use all of them; we deserve them.
Read a lot. Watch a lot. Listen a lot. Keep your senses engaged and open. Think about anything related to the outside world, because the cruel monster, depression, will try making you believe "This is the end of the world." We will find how big and beautiful the world is, how many millions of things to be explored, and how well we have been living, compared to many other poor souls. If nothing works, try God. Explore and start experimenting the existence of god. Trust me, it proves to be successful to free your mind from the clouding frustration. This interesting topic is really an excellent stress-buster (if you are rational and not too religious).
"My worries are nothing when compared to many others' in the world" as opposed to "I'm the most depressed soul in the world" will help a good deal to come out of the nonsensical depression. Fight it back and be a depression-proof!

Gone with the Wind!
Is it possible in the world of a pretty woman to get ready in half an hour for the outing, which her husband has decided just ten minutes back? I am just surprised at myself for finding out that it is possible for me (Did I say anything about pretty women?). It seems I am changing as my Mom once blessed (or cursed) me that I would change definitely after marriage.
Time has always played his role in everything. We may forget or miss to notice the changes, physically and mentally, day by day. It is but being oblivious of the fact that time is more powerful than your team lead who nods his empty head thousand times in front of your boss.
In those golden days (GDs), you were awaiting your promotion without much fuss, that is, hopping from second standard to third class in school just happened.
Now, you have to worry about your productivity, utilization, attendance, initiative, and many other management-related jargons in the Oxford dictionary.
In those GDs, you enjoyed smelling your newly bought and covered books. You just spent time by flipping through those pages, counting all colorful pictures.
Now, you feel insecure that someone will be replaced in your post that you feel you acquired out of your guard, sorry, hard work.
In those GDs, those A or B grades gave only appreciation and more encouragement.
Now, you get a pink slip if you slip (sleep) a bit.
In those GDs, shifting house for you was like sleeping in one place and getting up at another.
Now, you finding place in the so-called metro is like an adventure in which you are Jim Hawkins in search of the Treasure Island.
In those GDs, the existence of a species called house owners was unknown to you.
Now, you are a passive listener in front of your nagging house owner, who can only shout and never listens.
In those GDs, Mom and Dad were there to rely on, even for buying a pencil that has an attached eraser.
Now, you have to be on your own even if your buying your own car (under four-wheeler loan), as your parents are a few thousand miles away.
It seems the gen X will have a different endless list in the years to come. Blame it on technology, modernization, or economical growth. The undercover culprit is Time.
Let me go struggle for my future on dot, as time reminds me that he will never delay.

There are so many articles and sites on writing/blogging. I will be reading them with widely opened eyes; there will be a mixture of feelings: both confidence and depression. At one time, I would feel as if I too sail in the same boat with the blogger, and at the other time, it will be having “am I fit for this?” feeling. People keep advising lots of things, bulleting one by one. But hardly anyone says how to choose a topic and what to write when you are well-specialized in none.
Here I go ...
You can never force yourself to write if you are not filled with ideas. It doesn’t necessarily mean that you should be technically sound. It just means you should be able to express what is inside you at that moment of scribbling. So the “idea” here means just personal views or thoughts that emerge when you go a mile extra and conclude something in a circumstance. Okay, enough.

One among the Hundred Reasons to Quit Your Job
You have to sweep the floor in your office as the house-keeping staff have been on leave. You need to do this for just ten days; after that, it is expected they would return. Why you? Because you are not having any project to work on; so the management is utilizing the available resources for other streams.
You need not worry about this new job-profile as there will be training session for half an hour by one of your colleagues who used to do this in his tenure of seven years’ service in your renowned organization. By doing so, your appraisal rating will go from one to two for being flexible and doing multi-tasking.
You will be left perplexed to wonder what will come out of it. You are asked to do; there is no other option except submitting your resignation and still doing the same sweeping job in your notice period.
It is sickening when you are forced to some crap while you are hired for some other job. It is not that you do not understand the market condition or the results of recession. It is pure exploitation to misuse a resource in an organization in the name of recession. It would be better if there is lay-off after proper remuneration. You cannot teach them professionalism when they are miles away from managerial and business ethics.
You pledge you will never give this sort of pain to your employees if at all you are entering into the world of entrepreneurship in the future. You will not provide them menial jobs and provoke them to get away from your company. If you fail to meet your employees’ expectations, you will end your dream of commencing a company in the start itself.
I will do what I can; I won’t ask others to do what I would never do. Seriously.

Ice Princess Compelled Me to Do a Review
Ice Princess - the name lets you guess what this entertainer is about. Will it be a sort of any fairy tale like Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs? Not a long guess is needed. The opening scene itself is evident that it is about a young girl whose obsession is ice-skating.
Casey Carlyle, in her pursuit of winning a scholarship, decides to do a project on a theme that interests her most to give personal flavor. Being equally passionate for both Physics and ice-skating, Casey chooses the application of Physics on skating as her project. She ends up in learning skating formally to improve her project but in the course of time, she finds out that her passion leans more towards ice-skating than Physics. Casey proves to be exceptionally good at skating not only because of her craze for skating but also because of her knowledge in the application of Physics. Her mother, being aware of the impending distraction on her only daughter, refutes Casey’s desire to get trained formally.
Tina Harwood, a former skater, identifies Casey’s determination and prepares her to appear in competitions. Jennifer, Tina’s daughter, though being a good skater, feels that she is compelled in to skating because of satisfying her mother’s dream. When Tina restricts her from all teenagers’ fun, Jennifer walks out and decides to do no more skating. Casey, with her kitty full of passion for skating, and Tina, with her craving to make an ideal skater, join together. Result? Casey wins the Sectionals and her mother’s love and support again.
When Casey tries to get Tina’s permission to enter in to the ice rink and to join classes later on, it gives us déjà vu of The Million Dollar Baby. She reminds us Maggie when she wins her trainer’s heart to become a trainee, though paying a high amount which she earns by working in a food stand. Being the only daughter of a lecturer, Casey is well portrayed as a shy and studious Physics student. But she rejects the offer given in Harvard, and is besieged to undertake skating in spite of mother’s disapproval. How determined she is when she tells her mother, “I am not giving up my dream, I am giving up your dream.”
Tina and Jennifer are setting examples of another mother-and-daughter relationship where the daughter is compelled to live by the mother’s own whims and fancies. Like Casey, Jennifer too comes out of the invisible bond that her mother laid in the name of dream and love. Both the mothers realize their daughter’s aspirations and give up their own. Ice Princess, in that way, is a tribute to mother’s love which is unconditional always.
Teddy Harwood, Tina’s son is gentle and endearing. This Mr. Right comes for Casey’s rescue in the party as well as for his mother’s when Casey mistakes her for being partial. Jennifer embodies the new-gen of today, who loves partying and to be free from diet and responsibilities.
In an effort to depict Casey as an innocent girl, Michelle Trachtenberg is made to show her jumpiness till the end of the movie. Michelle, getting complete focus, is definitely more revitalized than how she appeared in EuroTrip, a comedy drama.
As the story needed, the ice backdrop and the gliding music keep up our spirit to enjoy the flow – from Casey’s initiatives to become a professional skater to her yearning to win her mother’s love. The story is spun with a thread of comedy that makes the film worth watching.
Passion wins love and vice versa. Without them, nothing can be accomplished. It is not just the highlight of this entertainer but the generic fact of the universe as well.
