Is it the Grass greener or you make it look green???


The grass is greener on the other side of the fence. This is the cheesy line which everyone throws when he/ she is left out with some difficulty. But whats the exact theory behind it.

Once Mr.A couldn’t clear the interview. However, Mr.B who appeared for the same cleared it in one go. He got the job. Mr.A simply couldn’t digest it and said that Mr.B got the job because his cousin was in the same company. This can be one of the reason but not entirely true. What about your hardwork and efforts. You don’t have to make any excuses for your lack of preparation.

The people have to find the solution for any given problem rather throwing the bullet on other person’s court.

If the grass is greener on the other side, it’s the fault of the gardener and not the grass. You should water it and make it strong and greener and certainly not blame it on the grass. You have to make an effort to face the situation and go extra mile. You cannot be a coward and sit back and wait for the things to happen.

Live in this moment rather thinking what the future is in store for you. If you do not make the things happen in present moment, the future would not seem brighter. Future lies in present.

So before falling for the future tense, please make strong your present tense or else you have to be tensed all your life.

    The story of Mr A and Mr B also reminds of another saying " Sour Grapes"...But yes one needs to be in a situation to understand it

      Yes exactly.....there is no substitute for hardwork....the efforts should be put and then you should decide.......But never get disheartened with the failures you face...You get multiple experiences.....

    Ahh well narrated!
    future depends on present that how we are utilizing the time we have in our hands.
    We can't bind the time,
    can't carry our age,
    can't depict the future,
    we are the maker of our own,
    can hold the blowing
    waves from overblown.........

Unspoken words with Intense gaze.................

Vindhya was sipping hot cup of coffee on her desk. She was reading a quarterly report of her company. As she finished, she glanced at the debt market desk opposite to her. She cannot see him. She was yearning and longing for his eyes, innocuous smile and seductive charm. She was searching for those eyes since one week. It had been a long wait though. Vindhya was an introvert, shy, pretty young lady. She dressed up in a traditional style with Kurti and salwar with nicely braided long hair. She had a finance masters in hand and was working as an Analyst in a financial services firm. Her co workers liked her not only because of the way she looked but also the way she spoke, behaved and her whole nature. She was a quick learner and efficient at work. Ameesh was a Debt market dealer in the same company. He was a reserved person and never mixed with people around. He had a fixed set of 3-4 friends whom he used to hang out with. It had been six mont...

A Nosalgic drive to my Chawl

“Amma, it feels like you have put on the AC. Air has grown cold”, said my 7-year-old lifting up her beady eyes from her maths homework. A cheery hurray followed. I shook the clothes firmly and filed them neatly on the cloth stand. Yes, indeed. There was a light nip in the air. Not due to AC. And, certainly no change in the temperature. It was still a blazing 38 degrees outside. I smiled and was whisked off to my childhood days. To my nondescript haven that would have looked more picturesque in a child’s sketchbook than in reality. A chawl which housed 14 flats adjacent to each other, spaced out at an arm’s length. A place where people were knitted closely together regardless of what social standing they were in. A place where we children had not one but many houses at our perusal to watch television, eat lunch, sleep under the warm covers and take refuge from the angry monsoon spells. A place where aimless wanderings were honoured but not bothered by ruthless meanderings of the rou...

AN EROTIC LOVE STORY

How can I live without you? I have my soul stirring for you. My breathe trusts you. The every sip of you I take, I gain my years. One fine day, the heat waves hit me. When the body sweat gave me shiver down my spine and tinkled me, I could just remember you. I smiled, enjoyed and felt you. When there is heavy pours and when I drench in it, you come in my mind. It is like you are there everywhere. I can feel it.   When I feel like biting you, you almost melt on me and I end up drinking you. When I paint some picture, you come to my mind. Suddenly, my hands urge to dip in you, touch you and brush you everywhere. Tsunami brings back to the memories of your anger. When you are in that state, you drink me. That sinking feeling is special. When I am on a shower, you come and hug me tightly. My heart races up. I get the feeling that you have almost reached me. I could see that as you touch me, you take the roads untraveled and reach almost everywhere. I ...
