Half Done



Halo Halo ... We are Half Done !!
The "half-empty half-full glass" visual is a common sight and kicks off a conversation that I don't want to get into today ... 🙂
half of 2021 is gone and the other half is before us. As they say, TODAY is the first day of the Rest of your Life.
Well, lets focus on 2021 for now.
2020 was a wierd weird wired year. (yes, I deliberately put 3 of them in there)
At the end of 2020, most of us had high hopes from 2021 and even made some lofty resolutions / goals for 2021 - challenging ourselves to achieve them and make the best of the year after the pandemic. 2020 gave us many revelations on personal and home front ... and we were determined to make changes in our lives in line with those revelations.
With 2021 half gone, its time to do a quick but exhaustive audit of where we are versus where we were supposed to be in the context of what we aimed for. (It like appraisal .. but its only you, and you gotta be honest)
The half year audit is important. In fact, its critical.
It tells you how much have you achieved so that you know if you are on track or need to speed up or maybe even need course correction. Some goals may have evolved and some may have become redundant. Some may have been ignored or completely forgotten. Time to check all of them and plan for corrective action within the next one week.
Your goals should be REAL to you and not a distant dream or a night-time dream .. or worse, a figment of conversation with friends. Time to prioritize them.
Would love to hear from you in the comments below - do share your audit findings or observations or advice to fellow auditors 🙂
And if, during the audit, you feel the goals have been largely ignored or not achieved and that you might need help with it ... , feel free to reach out. I will be happy to connect for a quick 30 min chat on your half yearly audit and how we can make your goals work.

Mumbai Local - First Class v/s Second Class

Image
    It is an old joke that the difference in the first class and second class of the Mumbai local trains is that people in first class use deodorants and hence you are exempted from the smelly underarms while travelling. The mute point being; both class of travel experience a passenger overload during the peak hours and you are almost equally squeezed and pushed around in both. Of course, the seats in First Class are cushioned (unlike the hard seats of second class) but then that would make a difference only if you get to sit (which would be a likely probability only if you get into the train from the station it originates). My father holds a first class pass from Churchgate to Andheri (since past 7 years, ever since we moved to Andheri). He often travels by Second class in the evening. Strange, isn't it? This is why he does it … In the First class, there is an unwritten rule that on the seat, only the designated number of people (which is 3) will sit. No sq...

Tongue Twister - V for Vendetta

Voilà! In view, a humble vaudevillian veteran, cast vicariously as both victim and villain by the vicissitudes of Fate. This visage, no mere veneer of vanity, is it vestige of the vox populi, now vacant, vanished. However, this valorous visitation of a by-gone vexation, stands vivified, and has vowed to vanquish these venal and virulent vermin vanguarding vice and vouchsafing the violently vicious and voracious violation of volition. The only verdict is vengeance; a vendetta, held as a votive, not in vain, for the value and veracity of such shall one day vindicate the vigilant and the virtuous. Verily, this vichyssoise of verbiage veers most verbose so let me simply add that it's my very good honor to meet you and you may call me V." - V for Vendetta
