Peaceful Sunday: Patience


The key to everything is patience. You get the chicken by hatching the egg, not by smashing it open. 
Arnold Glasgow, American humorist.

Patience. Taking it slow. In today’s life, one has totally forgotten these things.  Many of us struggle with impatience. At times, even I do. But this leads to many lifestyle diseases which is taking rounds in the city.  One should know that getting impatient would not solve any problem; instead it deteriorates one’s health. It raises our stress level, causes physical harm to our bodies and further damage relationships. It’s very difficult to concentrate on one thing at a time or focus vanishes when we become impatient. A disturbed mind leads to impatient actions. More importantly stress leads to impatience which further leads to stress. Like a circle, it never stops and there is no end point. At the length, it takes us to the dangerous zone. What we don’t know is impatience slows down the process and leads to constant worry. In that process, none of the work gets finished as well as the time taken to finish the task would accelerate.

There is a Spanish Saying:

No por mucho madrugar amanece más temprano
Getting up very early won´t make the sun rise any sooner

You have to understand that things would take their time to happen no what what. As they say, “ the early bird does not always catches the worm.

Signs of Impatience:

Doing too many things at a same time.
Talking to people and fidgeting with their phones/ mobiles.
Not maintaining eye contact and rolling one’s eyes while talking.
Getting irritated or shouting while working on something and etc....

4 Ms or Measures to take it slow:

1.    Prioritize your tasks. Allot time for the given tasks. Write down the tasks and how you want to execute it. After each accomplished tasks, tick out the task done.

2.    Learn to say no if someone asks you to finish some of the tasks when you already in midst of something. A firm NO is better than unfinished tasks which you have committed to someone.


3.       Take up few tasks and execute it well. “Too many cooks spoil the broth”. And moreover, you require time to finish the work in an organised or structured way. Too many tasks in hand would lead to chaos .

4.       Practice deep meditation or yoga to help you feel calm and make you patient at work. In a long run it will help you manage things  at a good pace and one will not feel stressed up after doing set of task.

A Happy and peaceful mind can attain many things. Cheers, Have a great Sunday.

      True, Sharanya. Impatience increases the patients' number.

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 ...
