Day 56-If only I had her life!

Everytime I check Instagram stories, I feel a pang of jealousy- looking at those beautiful girls with successful and rich lives. I mean they have everything in their life...or so it seems. This is a very 80s child thing, but I always ask myself this question...If God appeared before you and told you....that you could have one person's life....whose life would you choose?(FYI: this used to be a common topic in all creative writing exercises..LOL)

While I was working in Sales, in the beginning of the career, when month end targets and cold calls would practically be how I lived life every single month of the year..I had a wish. I wanted to take off  on a weekday...Monday to be precise and shop alll day in the shopping mall..because whenever I passed through the malls, I would find glamorous girls in their impeccable makeup carrying atleast 3 designer brand paper bags in one hand and an ice-cream cone in another and I would silently curse my life (and theirs) and then I would day dream for a few seconds...If only I was that girl!!!

Look at these you tube chicks...they receive happy mails almost every single day of their life--big brands like Estee Lauder and Bobby brown send them products to review Wowww!!! Not only happy mails...free stuff that is otherwise BLOODDYYYY expensive. I want that girl's life!

That boss lady, that slim sexy girl who inherits an empire, that smart woman who runs the TAJ group of hotels, that youtuber who attends red carpet events...ohhh...Why can't I be them?

So here I am asking myself that question ...if God appeared before me and asked me whose life I would want to live...whose would I choose? I could pick that boss lady but hey..her life is so stressed..so no!!..I could pick that youtuber..but she has to always be perfect and yes she tries some hundred products on her skin..and maybe leads a very insecure life..So no...

I keep doing this exercise and finally conclude that "no thanks..I am ok with my life" because after all all you see in Instagram or Facebook .. is the success ...noone knows what pain each human being is going through and what if their pain is a tad bit more than mine??? No wayyy!!!!!

Having said that..I just happened to see this girl who is gifted with the most gorgeous legs....ohh.....how I wish......

Day 65-What we need to tell our girls

Our generation has a peculiar problem of swinging between extremes . One group of the society considers girl children as a shame and engage in female infanticide and another group-the educated, cultured, modern group is the exact opposite. They tell their girls to be aggressive and treat the males in the society BADLY. I am not in agreement with both and hope for a balance where the men and the women in the society get their due credit. So, what is it that we need to teach our girls? 1.  Education is prime-beauty, money and fame come next only 2. A woman is strong   and has high potential –there is no such thing as a “Job meant for a man” and “a job meant for a woman”. 3.Tears are not weapons. To use them like that is cheap, dangerous and wont work all the time 4. Financial independence is important, but emotional independence is critical 5. Treat a man with respect.PERIOD. 6. Never raise your voice…your look should do it… 7. Size of breasts ..size of hips d...

Day 34-Why Education?

I come from a country that has proven , time and again that in order to be successful, education may not be necessary. I have seen way too many men who haven't been educated but have made shit loads of money. So why be educated? Is education a tool to having a career/making money/securing a successful partner/making a name in the society? If that is so, why not teach children in schools ONLY about Physics and Maths and Chemistry and may be a bit of money management? Why do we teach Art and craft? Why do we want children to participate in the million activities-drama, dance, music, elocution and all of that importance we lay on extra curricular activities? Why help children acquire good handwriting? Why show them to appreciate music and art? No matter how hard I think, I go back to Montessori's answer-that one theory that is the basis of the Montessori principle-EDUCATION AS AN AID TO LIFE. Certainly this is the aim of education -to help children understand how to LIVE...not...

Day 17-Mediocrity-is the name of the game

Of the many lessons that I have learnt after a few years of working in the corporate world and a few others in education, I have come to realise something about this nation that disturbs me. I use the word Nation and not the world because I do not know about the other races and so I refrain from giving my opinion on them. In case you have been fortunate enough to have an extremely talented person as a relative or a friend or if that person happens to be you-someone who wouldn't settle for anything less than excellence, you might have noticed that these people are usually what the society would call "unsuccessful" or "unpopular". There is no place for excellence today. Usually, the very well dressed, jargon rattling, fair skinned person gets preference in any meeting/presentation. The child who finishes first and writes what the teacher thinks is "good" gets his A+. The teenager who says "I want to be a doctor" is considered "in the righ...
