People, blogs and life!

Warning: This blog has been written in haste and much of it is not really pleasant. Much of what i write is not pleasant. So, if you are here to pass good time, get out!


"Be careful of your thoughts; they may become words at any moment." ~Ira Gassen

As the title suggests, blogs lie in between people and life. They can and do act as the connectors between people and life. Blogs are a great blessing in disguise for a lot many people because without the concept of "blogging" many of them wouldnt have taken to writing at all. And when you write, you connect to yourself. Its like talking to oneself. One can often observe professional sportsmen talking to themselves in between of a heated patch of the game. Talking to one self does help and writing is a great way to talk to oneself. And while writing a public blog, one would be wise to realise that people might actually form opinions about you based on what you write. Their can be friendships at stake. You never know! This is what a very senior fellow at my office said to me today when i was talking to him about how superficial our official analysis sometimes is. "When you swim against the tide, you either float and reap the benifits or you just drown and die!" I dont remember the context of which he said these words about but they stuck to me. Writing is actually swimming against the tide. And the tide here is the emotional net of your friends/well wishers. You might end up writing something which may hurt them and because of the distances involved in real life, it would be really tough to make up!
Especially if you don't have a lot of time at hand. Anyway, i leave the reader to keep guessing as to what i wanted to write here. I know i have not left any clues and there were not many to begin with.

And yeah, the saying at the begining. I just read it when i was about to write this blog and somehow i felt that it was an apt begining! I end this with an other saying of my own, "You are what you eat, read and think". Of the three, i guess the third is the strongest.


p.s: CCP is a phrase now famous in KPO's. It stands for "cut, copy and paste". It actually is true to life too. You cut lots of impressions/opinions/attitudes from the systems around you, copy it onto your mind and then paste it onto a canvas called your own life. So, KPO's in a way are replicating life itself. And when you do something like that, its hard to beat you!
