‘Working hard is not good enough’ Book Review

2014-03-28T08:17:00.003-07:00

TGC Prasad has highlighted in the book that culmination of talent and hard work will not always fetch you the right results. In the book there are various insights he gives regarding how to self manage oneself and how to empower oneself with the knowledge he or she possesses. Most of us individuals believe that smart work is way better than hard work but this book has changed my perception and now I understand that if in order to give that extra effort to achieve a goal , one should weigh all the options and realize that this is what he or she wants.

Goals, dreams and ambitions is what we all live for but the simple fact is that not everyone is able to achieve them and we sometimes feel that we gave our best but this was not meant for us. With respect to the book and also going a bit philosophical, I would say destiny is there for everyone but which destiny will cross our paths depends on us.

The author has shared his viewpoints of general management and tried to provide us with strategies and solutions to solve this problem of getting exactly what we want in life. Frankly, I would say the book is a good read but again only seeing with a management prospective or using HR concepts is not the final solution to my problem.

I think working hard is the most important aspect of achieving a goal but along with that comes our skills, knowledge, power to sustain surrounding barriers, ability to have patience and last but not the least to be sure that the goal we are seeking is what we want.

As far as I am concerned, I am still trying to figure out what will give me my nirvana so that I can work hard enough to achieve it.

Alive

Confusion is a natural feeling for me

I cannot relive the past or undo the things done

Disappointment and expectation are the crossroads that often meet

Trying to hear the silence hidden in the noise

I shall stay alive

Tears and sleep seem to go hand in hand

And I wonder if time is going to slow down

Hoping to get another chance to survive this war

The war of rising up after every fall

I shall stay alive

Standing at the ledge, staring at the sun

Feeling every emotion as strongly as i can

Wishing i could fly and just let down my inhibitions

Running towards the light that seems distant and bleak

I shall stay alive

Keeping happiness close and pain closer

Stretching out my arms wide to accept everything

Making a small change in my thinking

I shall stay alive

Reason

A reason to live
A reason to scream my thoughts among the crowd
A reason to not make everyone laugh but smile
A reason to be a true friend for a long time
A reason to be happy to see a new change
A reason to not care what people think
A reason to be brave and be yourself
A reason to dance amidst the rain
A reason to like a girl again
A reason to have an aim
A reason to trust and gain trust
A reason to walk an extra mile in pain
A reason to smell the morning sun
A reason to run towards your fear
A reason to accept the darkness in me
A reason to make people see the real me
A reason to sing aloud in bus
A reason to feel every emotion
A reason to have a reason
A reason to live, live again

"Dada"

2012-04-21T23:04:00.000-07:00

Like every Bengali I am a huge fan of Dada , I mean I don’t need to say who is Dada do I ;) but the reason I write this post is actually to just say that Dada truly is inspiring and its not about his Captaincy or Charisma that makes me proud but it is his simplicity of doing what he loves. He has not batted well in this IPL till now but finally yesterday he scored important runs for his Team , he may not be a good fielder but gives his best ; he may not be the best captain ( balls!!! He is d best ) but still gives all he can to his team. He is a Leader by Example and it is not always his front foot long on six or his cover drive which makes people go crazy but it is his simple yet aggressive way of leading his team to fight no matter how good or bad position they in.

I just hope SRK realises that losing Dada was and will always be his Biggest loss for KKR team!!!

Go Dada!!! Hope you continue giving more reasons for all your fans to smile.. CheersJ

This year!!!

2011-12-30T20:57:00.001-08:00

This year..
What has this year given to me???
This year has taught me to live life on my own,

This year has helped me understand friends better and helped me make better friends,
This year has taught me to move on and look ahead..
This year has made me crib and made me realise a lot about myself..
I am going to miss this year not because i have done fun things or great things,it is because this year has helped me prepare for the endeavours i have to do coming year..
This year just sailed away at its own pace and i wonder why i could not see more from this year, why i could not make most of this year..
But for all unfinished business , there is a fresh beginning so i bid adieu to this year with an inner satisfaction and happiness that yes i have done most i could do in this year..

p.s: Happy New Year to one and all !!!!

Here I stay awake wishing I was somewhere else,

Waiting to open my eyes to the morning bells,

The sunshine so bright I wanna cry,

The night so cold making my skin dry,

Is this a curse or a boon?

Praying that I go back home soon..

Life is a struggle we can fight,

Keeping our faith and beliefs tight,

Yes I know why I am so far,

It is like looking at a shooting star,

And hoping my wish comes true,

Staring at the silent moon,

Praying that I go back home soon..

Happiness and laughter are emotions so clear,

Still I express the most is fear,

Why does everything seem so hard?

Excruciating is the pain of staying apart,

Love is here but is not the same,

All alone here with no one to blame,

Is this a curse or a boon?

Praying that I go back home soon..

I learn a lot as time flies by

Still there is that urge in me to try,

To want something that is harder to get,

To remember something that is hard to forget,

Will the world be with me?

Help me choose and help me see,

Hence I wish I could go home..

The place where I belong…

Shit Happens!!!

"I wanna"

2008-07-05T20:15:00.000-07:00

I wanna be the leaf that falls on ur hair

I wanna be the breeze tht brushes ur skin

I wanna be the drop of rain tht falls at ur lips

I wanna be the dust that runs thru ur beautiful eyes

I wanna be the blanket tht gives u warmth at night

I wanna be the pillow on which u can lay ur head and sleep

I wanna be the stone u lay ur feet upon

I wanna be the cute teddy bear to get a hug

I wanna be the hand that clutches urs when in trouble

I wanna be the soul tht connects urs

I wanna be the funny joke tht brings smile on ur face

I wanna be the song tht makes u dance

I wanna be reason tht u stay wide awake at night

Iwanna be the thought tht always runs thru ur mind

I wanna be the tear tht runs thru ur nose and falls insignificantly

I wanna be the one without whom u r incomplete

What Is First Love???

2007-08-02T09:59:00.000-07:00

What is first love?
Is it the first downpour u would like to get wet with someone?
Is it the first walk u would like to take with someone?
What is first love?
Is it the smile u give always thinking of that special one?
Is it the nights that u stay wide feeling that special one with u?
What is first love?
Is it the time u think life could not be more heaven?
Is it the time u feel I have to be with that person?
What is first love?
Is it the face u can’t forget even if that face forgets u?
Is it the love u have even if that one hates u?
What is first love?
Is it when chocolate seems less sweet?
Is it when ice cream seems less cold?
What is first love?
Is it when u start writing poems?
Is it when u start singing aloud?
What is first love?
Is it when u want to be hugged?
Is it when u want to be kissed?
What is first love?
Is it when no words come out from ur lips
Is it when u have so much to say through ur eyes
Why is First Love never forgotten?
Why is First Love never regretted?
Why is First Love never missed?
Why is First Love never relished?
Why is First Love never understood?
Why is First Love never answered?

" When and But "

2007-06-12T09:46:00.000-07:00

When u wanna cry But no tears in eyes,
When u know all the truth But miss out the lies;
When u r very happy But on face no smile,
When u walk a yard alone But it seems like a mile;
When u get hurt But feel no pain,
When u get wet But there in no rain;
When there r if's But no doubt in mind,
When there is a way But u cant find;
When u get what u want But not what u need,
When u win But still do not succeed;
When roads lie ahead But u cant walk,
When u have so much to say but u cant talk;
When u have a gal But she is not beside,
When u r numb But tears have dried;
When u want her close But she is gone,
When u need her But u r all alone;
When u r tired But u cant sleep,
When there r promises But u cant keep;
When u have time But she is not there,
When u r good But life wasnt fair;

Truth

2007-06-02T10:42:00.000-07:00

Love has always been enough for me,
There is nothing else I can see
I just want to show my care
But life has not been usually fair
I have a few angels as a friend
Hope they will stay till the very end
I dare to cry and show my tears
Overcome small and big fears

Love has always been enough for me,
There is nothing else I can see
I just want to sing a song
I feel so weak yet strong
I need a reason to ponder
I find the shine and shade to wonder
The roads are getting wide
I am tired of walking at the side

Love has always been enough for me,
There is nothing else I can see
The streets are giving me the glow
The rivers are showing me the flow
Still somewhere I am incomplete
Waiting for the very ends to meet
The pain in heart is gone
The lost battle is won

Love has always been enough for me,
There is nothing else I can see
I am ready to take a big leap
Allow my destiny to reap
I will have patience
And will find answers to all questions
I want time to be beside
Have no more to hide

Love has always been enough for me,
There is nothing else I can see
I wish to be happy and satisfied
Not sad and deprived
I will keep the promise
I will learn to compromise
I will grow like a lemon tree
Fly to the sky and be free

Difficult To Explain

2007-06-01T21:37:00.000-07:00

Sometimes its difficult to make my people understand wat i mean....
There hav been situations when i myself dunno why i worte poems or thinkin of wat or for whom i wrote the poems.......
In my blog, u guys wil find a confusion inevitably spoken thru poems and pieces of written work...
i need u guys to help me to understand wat i cant...
hope 2 keep writin and gettin people's valuable opinions!!! :)

Deep Realisation

2007-05-31T09:54:00.000-07:00

The mountains standin really tall
make me feel insignificantly small;
The sun is shinin very bright
influencin me to walk in light;
The flowers are bloomin woth glee
and askin me if i can see,
the life beyond its height
ahead of love and behind every fight;
The colorful houses have sumthin to say
"Are there any people to stay??";
The time is runnin at its will
On a chair i am sittin still;
Thinkin why i do mistake
thinkin how much is at stake,
So much is there to explain
will this take away the pain?;
People flockin behind fame,
will this wash away the shame?

Before its too late to realise
or before its too early to compromise;
Lets take a chance in hand
try to analyse and understand;
the things i wanted to know
the things i wanted to show;
I wanted to work really hard
to stack up a house of card;
but the realisation arousin in me
is wat i can hear and wat i can see;
I hope to make my people proud
I hope to be seen thru the busy crowd
I want to earn a lot of money
but sumtimes it seems funny,
Alas, i want to be satisfied
clear my thoughts and hav nothin to hide;
Hope to come up in life,
enjoy the fruit and survive!!!
