My conversations across the boardroom have always been filled with optimism that circulates through the vents of humanity; in a manner fulfilling and heartfelt.
In regularity, I have always come to believe that #optimism might take us all to the zenith of success, as were strive to find our individuality among the sea of curious humanity. But then, I was brought down to earth when someone told me, pessimism could be your actual bet to a life better lived!
When did Pessimism cross the road?
A pessimist is someone who you'd befriend on a regular basis. Chances are he/she has a skewed opinion at everything that happens and everything that breathes. The glass is half empty always, with no chance of intermittent showers to fill it up.
But then, think about it? The pessimist has an opinion, which isn't opaque and can always find ways to do things differently. Isn't that true? Well, let's dissect it:
  • A pessimist can give you a viewpoint, unknown or unheard of. That's brings in a new dimension of thinking, weird as it may seem
  • A pessimist can make you trash your processes and look closely into rejigging them. Sometimes, it can put forward any fallacies that may have set in and assist in rectifying them
  • There are no curtains of glee or rose tinted glasses in front of a pessimist. He/she says things which could pierce your heart and make you take a rain check on yourself
  • Deep down, a pessimist could be an eternal optimist at heart. Sometimes, it's important to spend them with them and recreate their ways of going about things, which they feel will turn up well in the end
  • Look at the pessimist in the eye. The fire to prove himself/herself right will always be there, since they live separately and love disparately
Well, what do you know? The pessimist can show you a life sewn on the fabric that is dipped in the dye of optimism. His/her pessimism is a way to approach a certain instance of life in a manner varied from the other.
Time to give pessimism a chance, with optimism as an outcome in the longer run.

Grinding Your Thoughts

Photo on <a href="https://visualhunt.com/re/8dd097">Visualhunt</a> We all have a plethora of thoughts that cloud our minds over many hours of the day. These thoughts could be random, structured and multi tiered, based on the content that defines them. On a regular day, these thoughts could be about routines, tight deadlines and maybe even impending and future goals. What are thoughts? A simple opinion that occurs in the mind, due to deep thinking or possibly through an instant flash. The idea is generally to convince the mind that its worth delving deep into this concept. Educators and industry professionals in general have a very good way of assimilating their thoughts under one basket, using a grinding force in their minds. This 'grinding' isn't your regular stone crushing kinds one becomes acclimatized too, it's the mish-mashing of a plethora of thoughts that goes into keeping the mind ticking! Why should we grind those thou

Cities coming to a standstill, leaders of right wing groups agitating mobs, who pelt stones at average people, just to create a tense situation and leave the social fabric tattered.  I'm not getting into details of why the clashes began, which was unfortunately incited during the celebration, or commiseration of the  Battle of Koregaon , 200 years ago. One section of society calls it their  watershed moment , while the other call it a  loss of sheen moment  for their ancestors.  Such was the difference of opinion between these two sections of society, which
