Random Thoughts...
I get very autobiographical, when I start a blog-post, ‘Random Thoughts’! When several thoughts get crowded in my system
(don't bother which part of myself - head/heart/mind!), I wish to put it on my
blog so that it is off me! Is that not the beauty of maintaining a blog?
From last Friday to till today, it has been perhaps the
busiest part of my ‘3rd Innings’! Busy at all levels, physical,
mental and spiritual.
On Friday, the thought suddenly hit me, ‘I may be perhaps
living my dream now’! It was a very positive thought & filled with
gratitude to Divinity. I was indeed living my dream.
That is the case with everyone.
I wondered, if most of us pause to think and acknowledge we are living our dreams ?!
Going through one of FB friend's (slightly complaining)
‘status’ update on FB, left me thinking! Extending my own ‘status’ to others, I
was sure, each one of us was living our dreams here & now!
If my current ‘status’ is not what I wanted, blame it on my
dreams, visualization, choices made, the type of people I chose to hang out
with, the emotions I felt, effort (or lack of it?) and of
course, the level of passion. I cannot surely blame the world or anyone part
thereof for my current status.
But personally, I would like to give credit to all who
contributed to the awareness (with gratitude)…
As my batchmates were on their way to our European
university campus, for the final session, my mind was with them. The fact, I
got busiest during the same period help me to focus on activities on hand and
not brood over the inability to travel! In spite of the regular updates on ‘What’sUp’
from many of them :)

Got to get out of the urban jungle, with
torrential rains thankfully, and spend two days in a campus. The long drive was
great. Got to meet few new friends (not FB type!) and also interact with
students & staff at the management institute. Particularly the interaction
with the students was a new experience. An powerful question from a student was
‘ how to develop the right attitude?’ I wished I had the awareness to ask that
question when I was in my management school!
·
Two days with young bankers during the week, back in city. Young
crowd with high energy and low attention span. A perpetual challenge to get
them listen to me, ‘actively’.
·
Few sessions on the my own campus, on diverse topics such as academics to leadership.
Again, a different experience!
·
In between all these, the core-activity of
coaching… few very good sessions. Recent confirmation of the Coaching certification was
the icing on the proverbial cake!
Among all these experiences, there were several ‘AHA moments’,
lot of learning, very inspiring sessions and a few humbling (bordering
humiliating) experiences.
I Am Living My Dream Right Now ... crystal clear !
As my batch-mates head home, report to work
tomorrow, lot to ponder over and move ahead, with focus, patience and passion. Though
Divine Guidance is taken almost for granted…
Blissfully!
