Sister L and I had discussed how we manage some people (especially at work) who are really not on the same wavelength. As I was thinking about it, I pretty much recollected back on the wise words of a module that I am taking that discusses various philosophies.

Confucius says - Do not do unto others, what you do not want others to do unto you.

I found my answer :) I should therefore respect everyone's existence. Take the good from people and learn from it. The bad, just leave it behind.

This is really a count down to 2013, which will be a splendid year.
I plan not to have any goals or resolutions. Things are best worked out than written down as reminders.

I was asked how I tackle stress and I quickly answered that I take long walks.

It allows me to reflect and clear my thoughts. More than anything, it allows me to decide how I am going to handle any situation at hand.

While it was 24th December some place in the world and 25th in another part of the world, L and I were discussing the consumption of meat and the hope to eventually become a vegetarian.

Afterwhich L was sharing his website when I mentioned something that I ought to instill in myself

"Creativity is very subjective. It primarily comes to the world,

only when the creator loves it as much and is ready to fight all critics.

No one is going to give it a second look unless you are ready to defend your creation."

Awesome things do transpire in the company (even in the greatest of distance) of awesome people.

Merry Christmas and cheers to the awesomeness of celebration!

Over the years, I have realised that people whom one can really relate to are rare to come by.

By my definition of relating, I mean about relationships amongst friends which happens fast where the understanding quotient somehow allows for friends to understand what is transpiring without even the use of words over time.

I believe that this kind of friendship go a long way and are to be cherished.

When I met up with G recently, we talked about work woes. Thing is, everytime we end up talking about ideas about the future and how we are going to make a difference.

It is interesting how we are unanimous in our need to effect changes.

I have to then agree that - "Great minds discuss ideas; average minds discuss events; small minds discuss people. - Eleanor Roosevelt"

I am hooked on Life of Pi's tamil song. The singer and the music are well twined and it sounds lovely. Its Pi's Lullaby.

I am spending these days catching up with people who are very important in my life, whom I would always want present in my life.

This year, I was able to understand the meaning of gentleman. I had rather been skeptical about that term for several reasons.

I have been bred in a culture where man are supposed to be chivalrous as opposed to being gentlemanly.

Actually, I have not seen many gentleman around. Yet again, the smallest things do matter. Being attentive, understanding and sensitive to their fairer counterpart is something I do appreciate and am glad to have seen in a couple of man.

Yesterday was 20-12-2012, more awesome numbers being noted. I get inspired by people and the smallest of things inspire me.

I watched Life of Pi recently and took away the basics.

I have friends who were able to infer and translate it into meanings. As a friend put it, it is not meant for passive viewing. Memorable day, for I surprised myself on two counts.

In the name of festivities, the angel/mortal game is being played in the office and I do realise, that what you give is honestly what one can expect.

Time and again, I ensure that I respect people for who they are and what they do. My face does not help, for my thoughts are mostly reflected straight through.

While I was out on Sunday, I saw people furiously snapping away, taking photos of things and people.

We are fast becoming people who capture memories, hopefully, we do not lose the essence of interaction, which is communication.

Is that not beautiful, 13 Days to 2013. I have no aversion towards the number 13, like it infact. The reason could be that I was born on a thirteen. I embrace the beauty of the number 13. What so beautiful about it?

A sizeable number of people dislike or refrain from it, the first two odd numbers put together (odd + odd = beauty from double oddity ;)

I was out yesterday, and much was going through my thoughts.

I was 58m above ground level and was not even thinking about it till I was walking down a bridge that was descending. I was walking alone and thoughts such as what will happen if the bridge was to give way appeared.

I was pretty agitated with people who were in front of me, walking down slowly, while all I wanted to do was get down to the ground fast.

I managed, I smiled to myself, kept myself calm and pretty much enjoyed the whole process.

Not only do I learn new things that happen around the world, I also learn things about myself. Sometimes, it is a reminder otherwise it is an awakening.

I am working towards it.

As I close in on the ethics I have been brought up with and have come to find right, I yearn to correct the way I live. I believe its a mix of changing certain habits and a matter of balancing, the various elements of life.

Work is important. At my age, I am most committed to my job (after my family) and take full responsibility for the task that I take charge of.

However, I realise that I am pretty poor in work-life balance. Something to work on, in the New Year that is 17 Days away :)

I was talking to a colleague today, when we were discussing the power of emotions when one is in love. Love is a natural drug, that gives the high feeling and I reckon no man is an island. However, it is important for woman to always be rational and grounded even in the paradise of love. Think future, not for the moment.

All said and done, it may not be easy to be rationale, however for the sake of betterment, it is imperative.

Today whilst feeling a little low in mood, I took a long walk. It allowed me to question my actions and how I should kick the lowness. It helped me to feel calmer.

As my biggest critic, I always want to improve or change in one way or another. Of course, the wanting sometimes does not translate into action and I begin my self-tirade.

1) Discipline
2) Focus
3) Time Management

This morning, a picture from FB has gotten me to think again.

A colleague of mine, recently brought to work bubbles. I was totally taken, gone with excitement.

The little things in life - makes me the most happiest! The calla lilies which have bloomed on my way to work, different colored balloons and running after bubbles and just blowing them. Simple pleasures in life, matters most to me.

As the younger sister says, flowers are best enjoyed when they are in the form of or part of the plant. It took me, a birthday to realise this :)

 It is tough to defy, when in the Asian culture it is more than likely that children listen and abide. I see change though. The questioning mind, thirst for knowledge seems more apparent now. It is a change from how I grew up. A welcome change :)

I just realise that I had lapsed a day in posting and am therefore posting twice today. It is 25 Days to 2013.

Now and then, I come to realise that there are ways through which I could improve and better myself. Today, I agree to work on it and make a change!

Today I conversed with a participant in an event and had thoroughly enjoyed talking to her. To my surprise, we even realised that we were staying in the same hood. Glad to have met one more awesome soul to cherish!

Sometimes, I wonder what is the best that I can give. I reckon, it lies in the preparation and the planning that has to be vested in the first place.

A point to work on.

A point that I learnt recently is that, words one phrases pretty much warrants what you want or need.

In some instances, "Could I have this" may not be as impactful as "I am taking a copy".

Confidence allows one to use the latter option.

Yesterday I took part in a talk for entrepreneurs' and a speaker mentioned, how confidence takes a person forward no matter what. While another said passion, the will to act and perseverance keeps one going.

Importantly one speaker suggested to spend a few minutes before going to sleep - thinking back on the routine of the day and how things could have been better done for the betterment of the self for the future.

Wow, it sure is coming soon. 2013 that is :)

Today, I will be dining with colleagues in the name of festivity. An apt way of counting down to 2013. People with whom I spent alot more time with than the family.

This year I did embrace new. New in terms of education, people and style.
I feel comfortable with status quo and love challenges as much. Therein, lies a bit of a tussle.

More than anything, I realise I use two phrases quite a bit these days.

1) I try my best
2) Taking things one step at a time

Started with a wedding of a couple whom epitomise the word "Fun". I have not seen any other couple who personify happiness through having fun as much as this couple. I was blessed to be amongst those who attended it, just because I could feel the love in the simplest of ways.

Cheers to them and a beautiful life ahead!
