i do think about people i have left or who left me on the journey of my life so far. i am a social person. i meet new people and i will keep meeting new people.
But, you know i met some of those who left indelible marks on what I am today. I remember one such person told me once, you will meet a lot of them, but you will not have me!
you were right.
The other day i posted a post which said that i do not miss anything! i do not consciously miss anything. But the truth is, i forget nothing. specially people who have been special to me.
you will keep popping up in my mind now and then. life will move on with new people and new situations......but i will
miss you, always
when something you said, something you did will immediately ring in my mind........i will miss you......my lost ones

rejection!
i can, frankly, take a lot of it. it does not exist because i have nothing to lose and the only possibility if there is, is to gain. someone says no, i did not lose anything for i did not have it in the first place. we miss 100% of the shots we do not take.
i guess, it is one of the critical barometers of success. that is, how much rejection you could take. sometimes, i get tired and dejected and the pace of my efforts slows down, for i am not getting results.
but tomorrow is a new day. and i know, that no matter what the quantum of NOs is, i have to keep going. For
someone, somewhere, is waiting to say, YES

Plateau
the state of my life at this moment
a plateau: a period or state of little or no growth or decline despite activity and efforts
The dictionary also describes it as a stable level of achievement. Bullshit. Stable level of achievement. What the hell is stable level of achievement! you are only as good as your last game! i have not been playing a lot of games these days!
you see, I have a job! i need peanuts also. I am an MBA, I have seen 2-3 countries and met people from many geographies for whatever reasons. Now if i see life perhaps as many people would, i should bloody get married through an arranged marriage off course and create children and live for them! what the heck!
i mean what the hell is stability? i am so freaking restless because i am not growing! i am not contributing! there is nothing called stability! life is not supposed to be stable. okay. one day, if i find a girl i love and who loves me, i might get married, god knows! i may have children also, i am sure it does not take rocket science or CAT problems! but that can't be the reason for my existence! you see, get married and raise kids! what the heck!
i guess, i am disturbed. i am not getting enough sleep! nothing seems to be growing, no part of my life. f****** hell! i am trying. no body can blame me for not trying. one thought i cannot live ever with is that "i did not try"! so i try. i guess i need to try harder and more intensely.
what else? well, i have crossed plateaus before during my story. i will cross them even now. i will keep asking. i will keep trying. i will not give up ever on life. it's not an option.
Plateaus will come and go. I will keep moving.
You see, an ant tries to climb a wall and falls a 100 times, it does not stop. perhaps it's survival depends on not stopping till it succeeds in its mission.
so does mine!

raison d'etre
I need a raison d'etre and I know it's me who needs to define it. it will not come from the heavens.
To be honest, it disturbs me a lot. I mean what the hell am I existing for. What is it that I am brought here to do. I mean, I know that I am supposed to enjoy myself and create maximum contribution by using my gifts. But how? what is going to be my life's work?
it means, from the dictionary: reason or justification for being or existence
i can't live my whole life living through nothing. Not me. I know what I need to do. I just need to take the first steps and not see the whole staircase, as Varun's favorite quote says.
Take those steps. Very soon, it will be too late. Create a difference before you pass away. Nothing else matters.
