Revision β

“Today is the first day of my remaining life”- quotes American beauty, a popular Hollywood film; certainly a short yet a riveting line of thought. The mental conditioning is a predominant and a perpetual aspect governing the reactions of a person and the panorama he or she nurtures and keeps re-designing while looking ahead.

In the course of time, the thinking pattern undergoes a sea of change depending on the environment, exposure, experiences and the ephemeral trait of most instances around. If something is permanent it is change- this being a long time advocated paradox. Imagining each human being in a perennial tour to derive more meaning to the way he or she lives, thinks; and this being sensed by millions around without a slightest sense of fatigue throughout the lengthy human life span- is incredible and simply a divine creation of nature. I am thoroughly awe-struck at times by this everlasting epidemic designing the intent of core human existence!

The persistent quest for attaining distinct thinking platforms might be obscure at times yet it is very much the inherent part of our lives. Even without embracing esoteric philosophies and dwelling into abstract topics of discussion; it is possible and worth experiencing to look at the multiple dimensions people derive to look at life. Aspirations, goals, definitions, gauging paradigms, positive and negative connotations- every thing is the conditioned and customized by-product creation substantiating the measurement of the not-so measurable entities.

Re-defining the way of work, the goals, the perceptions and the overall perspective on a recurrent front probably enables this journey to be rewarding. Relentless receptiveness to these revisions is perhaps the measure of sane survival.

Assimilating 2010

Days and nights flip around and since times memorial,the calender turn-around has been popularly perceived as a benchmarking time frame to re-visit the past introspective arenas. People across the world have different notions and relative shades of perceptions associated with the realms of comfort, happiness, achievement, satisfaction, public display, genuineness, career, love, desire, need, want, commitment, deception and money to list a few. Everyone is knowingly else unknowingly in the continual quest of seeking a better vantage on these abstract zones.


Last year has been a roller coaster ride with a superfluity of opportunities to explore places, people and self. It is a normal human tendency to be judgmental which at times creates hindrances in developing a panorama to perceive the things appropriately and to reason out why they exist as they do. Our judgment- of people and things abstract along with the associated expectations, is fundamental in sowing seeds of hope, aspiration and anticipation on one hand while of utter dismay, shock and pain on the other. Judgment governs our reaction, while the judgment is thoroughly governed by our perception. Perception is in turn shaped by our bandwidth of self-exploration on a psychological front. 


Introspection should be an indispensable aspect of living. It embellishes the thought process while it acts as a tracker streamlining the turbulent times. While there could be plethora of ways to go around this personal thought process, I am thoroughly convinced that deep-diving unfamiliar places is certainly a potent way in this quest.  It aids in broadening our perspective, challenging our fundamental premises that hold true as foundation of our beliefs and notions of pain, endurance, contentment and fulfillment. It is an opportunity to witness and experience ocean of perceptions, faiths and convictions people have. It is an opportunity to re-evaluate our comfort zones and re-visit our hardened beliefs. A calm peace of mind would reveal a theory of introspection yet we could have myriad ways for different people to find out what thought process works out best for them.


2010 witnessed exploring abundance! I witnessed myself on a distinct thought podium on the personal, professional and social fronts- helping me to decipher different people extensively and refining my notions on manifold aspects as well.  The most impressive phenomena in my opinion has been the fact that even after ornamenting our perspective with our current convictions of broadest corridors, we always tend to find a better vantage point to look at things afresh; That is the beauty of self-exploration, psychology and the perpetual novelty life can offer if permitted. 

The new year has already rolled in to offer new vigor and fresh outlook to decode different realms of experiencing completeness, happiness and accomplishment. Having already entered into 2011, I wish all close friends happy, thoughtful and interesting times ahead!
