When you dream

Found this somewhere,
Worth a read :)
When you have a dream then it is so easy to get lost in planning how you will
accomplish it. To drift away in daydreams about how it will be. But also to get
stuck in fears about failing with it.

So you make a common choice and wait - and wait and wait for maybe years - for
just the right time to take action and get started with making that dream into
something real.

Now, to be realistic, not every dream may be something you can get started with
right now. But there are many that you can get going with.

The key here is to make things easy on yourself. You don't have to dive in with a
big and extremely courageous jump. If that was the case then only the bravest
people in the world would do and achieve what they want.

Instead, take a small step forward. Take one small action. That is it.

Then tomorrow you can take another small step forward.

The important thing is that you get started and get going instead spending so
much time on just waiting and feeling more and more frustrated and unhappy
about the state of your dreams.

Focus on that. And step by step start making this autumn into what you deep
down want it to be.

Love must free, Not Stifle

Joy,  it should nurture happiness and freedom.. not create scary control zones of its own!!

Why should loving someone mean constantly living in their hair??

I would like to spend quality time with him, and carry the happiness and peace from there to all spheres of life.
I cannot just be a beloved; I am a daughter, a sister,  a friend, a professional and a woman with my own pursuits too. That does not mean he would not still be the most important focus of my life.

Interestingly, Man have same complaints. It is so demeaning to them to constantly explain themselves to a woman. Her watch on-  the accounts for the hours spent away from her, untraceable whatsapp radar,  last seens..etc However, that does not mean he's unfaithful. ........
It is more of a deep need to be trusted, and a desire to keep one's space sacrosanct.

"Emotional Intensity in this era of intrusive technology,  is SCARY rather than DESIRABLE"

I would prefer a free-flowing, friendly and respectful FREE relationship. Wait hang on, Personal freedom doesn't mean the 'freedom to cheat'. It basically means that you do not try to control or question each other. It implies deep RESPECT and granting each other some privacy and personal space,  and accepting each other with unconditional love.
It implies deeeeeeeep faith.
Indeed,  nobody wishes to be answerable to another;  I personally insist on guarding our personal spaces, and still being trusted. 

In this era, where also Economic freedom has helped to stretch personal limits, romance should adapt too and make space for personal freedom.

Unlikely,
How eyes that adore, pretty soon turn watchful;
Loving thoughts turn suspicious;
And delight in moments together becomes demand for exclusivity... then, It is best to start off as you mean to go on- to understand each other's need to nurture and protect his or her space and identity.

Sooo, What may have been aspirational once is ridiculous and scary today to someone.
Being in Love doesn't bring the rest of life to a standstill.

What you look for is just an island of peace where you can plug in to recharge before returning to the chaotic world.

Love cannot and must not be allowed to create a terror zone of its own.
Rightly said, Love should nurture freedom, not stifle it.

I superlike it :)

Sorting Out

After 3 weeks at the most awesome workplace, Joy gets some 'me' time this sunday to sort her shelves, drawers, almirah everything that needed her touch and look what she peacefully gathers piece by piece...
Every extra thing that she did in the last 4 years of Engineering
Hard to call them things, they are her soulmatessss, yes she has many ;)
They are her-
Planning material- to be efficient

Scrapbooks- to gather the world in it

Picture Books- that made her resemble it

Travel columns- the biggest bundle of all

Novels- she could not sleep without

Drawings- that shined

Newspaper clippings- the findings that thrilled her

20Ques lookbacks- to retrospect her week

Diaries & Journals- which made her thoughts clearer and brighter

Wordpowers- the new words that became her companion

...... and the list goes on.....
Bringing them at a place got her tears and a lot of memories with each one of it!!

Why she wondersss...
Because it made her question things, changed her reality, marked a before and after in her life and revolutionised her world.
So We must continually learn to revise...much that we have learned,  and learn to learn that we have not been taught.

Only thus do we and our subject grows....
#Terrific feeling

Joy- The Rookie Part 2.. Releasing in the nearest Barclays office soon

Joy's advice for this Friendships Day also her Birthday ;)

"Joy is not in things or places.. It is in us..."

Remember the time when they just hung around you all the time...
When you would talk to them all day.. and your parents had to literally pull you off the phone..
When you could discuss the sexists jokes to stock markets..
When you would walk them home, and then they would walk you home, and then you would walk them home again, till you couldn't walk any longer..
When you would plan the craziest trips with them and still be happy to go to the nearest Joshi wadewala to eat Misal and wada pav if plans failed..
When you swore that no matter where on earth you guys were in the future, you would still make time for each other.

------------------------------------------------
And then the future took over. You guys had everything you wanted, but TIME.
Your friends became mere numbers on your mobile, and members on your chat groups.

You remembered your friends fondly and frequently,  but didn't have the time to actually call them.

"Wassup?" They'd text once in a while to make you feel their presence in your life....and you'd say "Stuck in a meeting as usual"... "Oh Sorry" they'd say.. and you'd reply, "Shall call you SOON"..
Sooooooon never arrived and you never called.
And When you finally had some time, you were too embarrassed.

So This Friendship Day.. Don't text them.. Don't call them... Don't forward them the message that was forwarded to you by the guy from office whose name you never remembered...
Just arrive announced at their door, like you always tried doing.
They'll be #OverJoyed...

Hang around with them, ask them to join you for a coffee and before you know it, This Friendship Day will be exactlyyyy how every day of your life was back then...
And how it's meant to be now.

Because-

Friends let you know that you are not alone on the road of life

Through life we suffer. Through friends we never have to suffer alone

A friend is someone who listens when you speak, understands when you cry and guides you on your way ahead.
