Randomize...

Every person has a set of habits, expectations, rituals, which we collectively call one's Comfort Zone. It's a very fragile thing, this comfort zone. The smallest of aberrations in the pattern of things can randomize a person (or maybe just me...). However, one could, if one takes the time out to do so, identify things that could restore the equilibrium and get one back on track.

Things that randomize:

  • Visitors
  • A moderately hectic weekend trip
  • Pending work items in multiple spheres of your life
  • Bad news
  • Good news

Things that restore equilibrium:

  • Meaningless conversation over a cup of coffee with a friend
  • Times of intense activity at work (the kind of work one enjoys)
  • Impromptu plan for a movie

hearty nods of agreement over one and all of your observations.

@Erimentha: Huh?

@Adi: I hope that was some time ago.... a childhood deprived of coffee.... outrageous.

@Nocturne: :) I have a feeling my list is far from complete. Will keep updating.

"Meaningless conversation"
Beta you run for your life now.

coffee helped and helps ... word hard and be indifferent ..

@mayank:Conversation with you is never meaningless unless there are unwelcome intrusions ;)

@SMA:Be indifferent to what?

Shashank Mohan said...

well, indifferent to the outcome .. it is easier said than done .. but even a try in this direction helps

Oh, I thought you were saying something different from what the Gita already does.....Fal ki chinta mat kar....

It was never about the outcome. It's about the execution.

Hmmm... i have a funny analogy .. I am sure you must have seen stock price movement graphs of companies .. life is like that ... ratndomizations are fluctuations in short term .. so as long as the underlying trend (aka long term) is good or expected, short term shouldn't matter ... right? So it depends on point of view ... if you are looking at life on a day to day basis, these randomizations become important
