Make Hay When The Sun Shines

My absence in G talk raised a few questions across my acquaintances. I started getting emails enquiring if I am fine. I responded to all saying that I am busy. In fact I plan to make myself more structured more productive and meaningful. I realize that these IMs are more for remaining in touch, sharing a few happenings and discussing something which is not very productive. Of all these the last one is the most common among all and unfortunately the most destructive. Do I sound like a business minded person who monitors every hour of his? Well! No.

These days I want to make myself more productive and constructive. I want to spend my time doing things which gives me happiness, adds value to life and helps me get a wider perspective to life rather than revolving around the same old ladies gossip which is good once in a while but is mostly counter productive. I want to make sure that I am spending my time remaining in touch rather than fulfilling my urge to gossip. I want to make sure that I learn to draw this fine line between getting updates from friends on what is happening in their lives and listening to their never ending broods and frustrations.

Again with this I don’t want people to assume that I don’t want to be a good listener when you need a friend. All I am trying to say is if you choose to live with your frustrations and worries for ages and choose not to come out of it irrespective of people around you trying hard to pull you out of your worries I might after sometime choose to spend my time more constructively rather than listen to your same old shit. Now how do I decide if you are stagnating with your issues or you just need a listener? It is simple. If you genuinely have an attitude to move on and work towards moving on and are determined to be constructive in life I am there, if you choose to stagnate in life, brood and worry about the same issue which has been bothering you since ages and have made no progress in moving on I might choose to spend my time more constructively.

This post might be interpreted in various ways. You might choose to call me arrogant, self centered, snobbish, bad listener, a person who does not understand what frustration, depression, worry, troubles, and anxiety are or a person who wants to value her time, try new things and work towards learning and being more effective and constructive in life and most importantly a person who wants to understand that we need to move on.

Make the hay when the sun shines.
