I dont know what to say............

Good Evening :-)

Well I truly don't know what to say, sometimes we are just blank, aren't we, its happiness, its surprises, its fear, its worry, its love, its loneliness....... n number of emotions put together and the mind goes blank, but I guess on such moments just write it out, or speak to yourself or speak to a pet, speak to plants, I got these ideas from many different people I met at a workshop I participated in here at Ahmedabad Management Association.

It was fun to interact with different people, knowing new things, learning from the people around us and most of all,I felt there is so much more to do in life, usually we all come to a point and start feeling that we have done enough but here i learned that learning never ends till your last breath.

One workshop was about developing Emotional Intelligence(EI) and I guess it is much more important that trying to improve our IQ, because there we did a few tests and exercises where in you come to know where you stand in the level of EI and how to improve it with time and experience.
The other workshop I participated in was about using your creativity which every person has in him/ her some are very creative and some less creative but none are not creative.

On the whole I should say one needs to do those things which bring you closer to yourself and improve yourself too apart from the knowledge gaining it is fun to know many many new concepts and things which we never knew before.

" Whatever made you successful in the past won't make you in the future - quote by CEO HP."

Change is necessary they say and if we keep doing what we have been doing always, we will get only what we have been getting always, we cannot expect to get anything better, so we need to change with time, change as per the generation and also upgrade our knowledge and skills more than the previous day. When we do that we will see a new dimension of success. Success is not only in Profession, its also in personal life, we need to change our way of living, our way of thinking, our way of communicating and a lot more, but that does not mean we need to become like someone else.

Be yourself and improve yourself in a way that you benefit, your family benefits and if in a profession then the Organization benefits and last but not the least the Society or the community benefits. Do not live in the past, leave the past and always concentrate on the present and how to make that better.

Sharing a simple example given there, that there's a man who says that its a record in my life till date I have never ever met with an accident. When told that then surely you must be a very careful and good driver the man answers that I don't know how to drive, and the other person says Good for sure your record will remain intact till the end. A person who does nothing makes no mistakes and trust me I believe in making mistakes and learning from them rather than not doing anything in life.

Anyway enough of the learning and sharing lessons part. What about doing something else, bandana's blog has to have her touch, otherwise it would be incomplete. tomorrow try one thing when you wake up from sleep, wake up with a smile and do something unusual like......... put on music and before you begin your daily routine share a small dance with your spouse before he leaves for office or kids before they leave for the exams to School. Impossible is it,,,, try just 1 melodious song and 1 twist and turn just for 5 mins, if u do not have enough time and check it out your spouse, your kid and you will have the best of day ;-).

Life is beautiful, we just need to keep smiling. You are never completely dressed until you wear a smile, said by Mahatma Gandhiji. I guess we need to obey ;-).

Keep Smiling and I am signing off for the day and I am surely gonna share a dance tomorrow with my son, its his maths exam tomorrow and Avani is dancing all day these days, hahaha, her exams are over and she loves to sing and dance, in fact even now me n my son, we are hearing FM and he is doing his maths problems and singing along and its so much fun...........Srijan sings beautifully and I take all the credit its genetic, well his dad sings better than me ;-). Sir I have given the credit to you, you be happy :-)

I have attached a snap of Srijan of sometime back when he inserted this quote on the snap and I understood it now :-)

Good Night India and Good day to the US friends.
