Sitting at the Edge

Sitting at the Edge

Could be replaced

Sitting at the Edge

Could be Fired

Sitting at the Edge

Could be Elevated

Sitting at the Edge

Could be Liberated

Life is all about taking every replacement, firing, elevation and liberation in our stride as what goes up, will come down. After every dark tunnel, light surely comes so enjoy being sitting on the edge, waiting for the big change to happen in our professional and personal life.

Love too can get replaced, it could come under a fire, love relation could get elevated in status quo of live – in or marriage or being perfect couple or you may just liberate self from existing love. So again hope for a big change for good as only Change is Constant

Bubble Gum

Mary and Rob had been child hood friends who loved to race each other with bubble gum game

One day in their youth they were enjoying this race till an old gentleman walked past them..

he smiled and said ‘Don’t compete to bloat the bubble gum. Eventually it does break.. ‘

Mary and Rob wondered at that message and got closer to the gentle man..

He smiled and said ‘Egos can be blown to a bubble to any length but finally an ego will crash someway or the other. It is like bubble gum.. given to you.. you keep bloating it as much as you wish and then crash it will break one day’

Mary ‘hey interesting observation, never realized this’

Rob ‘No wonder.. we both still remain down to earth. we never knew ego can bloat too like a bubble gum’

Gentleman ‘Nice kids, remain same always. Key to success – never keep egos’

Sunny Returns Back Home

Sunny was a hardworking individual who never knew what would hit him when he would return back home..

His wife Susan who used to be so sweet in chats would actually be not available at all at home for rest of time.

His son almost forgot him..

Sunny was trying to settle back after his long H1 B stint in US but found things changed..

He thought to himself ‘Does distance really lessens love, emotions, intimacy and realized that answer is only yes’

He felt he should have decided to be with his family rather then pursuing higher monetary goals as nothing can make an individual happy but a family or people close to them

He felt that temporary flings fine but finally strong relation and that too in person relationship alone plays key role to relation stability

Flower Bed

John founder of a growing company visits a garden in Malaysia and finds the garden properly maintained. He specifically goes and meets Garden Owner ‘Boney

Boney ‘Sir,  it is great pleasure trimming, pruning the garden, leaves and am very proud of the flower bed.. ‘

John ‘Am impressed..’

Boney ‘I always correlate human being to flowers.. Unless the plants are not nourished, they will die or not grow well. The technique of pruning can be used to provide to balance out resources and bring in a sense of equality.. No point in having trees of same species grow unevenly.’

John ‘Wow.. I learnt an important lesson.. This could lead to uneven growth and may lead to conflicts’

Boney ‘yes.. flower beds of different species need to be nurtured and treated uniformly first and then give specialized treatment as per their capability to grow’

John ‘May I ask you a question?’

Boney ‘yes’

John ‘Are you a HR’

Boney ‘Yes, used to work in a multi national but left all that and pursue my hobby gardening and decided to own up this garden and have the flowers blossom the right way’

John ‘I really liked what you said and will be in touch with you.. You are lucky, you have moved out of core work and pursuing what you love’

Boney ‘Only if we pursue our dreams, our mind and heart will love to contribute more to that effort’

Little Joy Little Sorrow More Joy More Sorrow

Love is beautiful till a sense of independence comes in.

It was just so beautiful for Jane a few months back when she would delightfully enjoy the candle light dinners with her husband Peter.. and one day Peter had to visit Hong Kong.  It was a painful separation as Jane and had never been separated out of her husband for many years and Peter being a co founder of a startup with base in Hong Kong had no other option but to be with his team as the start up had to raise more funds..

A few years ago, Peter was a mechanical engineer who specialized in robotics and would create miniature equipment to crop the grasses.  He then got attracted to a concept of using robotics to manage the entire irrigation process.  He got seed funding and here was in Hongkong with his team and he got surprised when he saw Li Na, an electro magnetic expert who not only looked beautiful but was like a magnet who could hold conversations and draw technology road map in one go.

Peter was surprised. He got attracted to her..  Here he had the joy of getting a good US$1M funding and at same he was more then happy to be near Li Na..

Peter ‘Li Na.. what is your family background’

Li Na looks at Peter with surprise

Li Na ‘Oh don’t ask about them.. I have a weird one.. Both my parents married of to some one else…  so all alone’

Peter ‘Single?’

Li Na begins giggling

Li Na ‘Why this question? Did you visit Hong Kong?’

Peter ‘Got busy with you guys.. and back my wife, she pines for me and waits for Skype’

Li Na ‘Oh I see… good lucks’

Next day…

Peter ‘Li Na will you take me around Hong Kong this weekend’

Li Na ‘Cool.. hope your wife gives you a holiday.. and begins laughing’

Peter enjoys the weekend visiting various places with Lina…

Night time…

Jane ‘Hey was waiting for you quite a long time.. love you too much’

She sees a delayed response

Jane ‘What is the matter? ‘

Again no response..

Jane ‘Peter.. hope all fine’

Peter ‘Yes.. All fine.. Chinese have a warm culture.. I enjoy being in Hong Kong’

Jane ‘Please take me too’

Peter ‘Hey plan to sleep’

Jane ‘I see a change in you Peter’

Peter ‘Not really.. too tired’

Next day

Peter ‘Thanks Li Na for a great weekend.. I guess we both are connected’

Li Na ‘Why you think so?’

Peter ‘Mere presence of you around.. it brings aroma of freshness’

Li Na ‘Oh really.. and what about your wife?’

Peter ‘She is also sweet.. Am in flux’

Li Na ‘What is it?’

Peter ‘Lets discuss dinner.. Can we have one?’

Li Na and Peter at a restaurant..

Peter  ‘Li Na.. have gone restless. Keep thinking of you.. Hope am not in love with you’

Li Na begins laughing

Li Na ‘Am the loveable lass whom every body loves’

Peter holds Li Na’s hand..

Peter ‘Am serious.. can we attempt a relation..’

Li Na ‘It is incorrect.. you have a wife’

Peter hugs Li Na..

Li Na is all red

Li Na ‘Peter.. please.. don’t make me fall in love with you’

Peter ‘Li Na.. is there a way to marry you here’

Li Na ‘Don’t ever understand how you guys think..  Out there your wife pines for you and here you are willing to give her more sorrow for your more joy’

Peter ‘You are mistaking me’

Li Na ‘Let us stop it right away.. Thought of you only as a friend.. I do like you as person, respect you too.. but and a big but..   I don’t mind having little joy and little sorrow’

The little joy is that we shared some good moments.. and the little sorrow is that I may be maintaining a safe distance from you from today..

Same night.. Jane is waiting for Peter

Jane ‘Peter where have you been.. am missing you.. Do you know I actually took all our marriage photos and realized you look so handsome. I have fallen in love with you again more then ever..

Peter ‘What is so special about me.. Why you love me so much?’

Jane ‘I trust you.. I know you will never leave me ever..’

Peter ‘Is that trust never breakable’

Jane ‘God is kind to me.. Am sure it will never break.. A good news to you.. After many years.. suddenly I felt a vomiting sensation..’

Peter ‘What??? You say it is good news?’

Jane ‘Do you know the last trip a month back.. lol both of us were in great romantic mood’

Peter ‘Baby???’

Jane ‘Yes’

Peter ‘Jane I am delighted.. the bundle of joy which will come will be enough for me to balance our life all over again’

Jane ‘Did I get imbalanced?’

Peter “Not really.. you love god and god loves you.. so how can it ever get imbalanced’

Jane ‘I love you too much’

Peter ‘me too. I realize that there is something beyond a body which holds people together.. that is a pure heart and mind..’

Did I say I will fail you?

This is a story of two co founders of a startup who get into conflicts when the startup is at an IPO stage…

Frank ‘This is not going to work out.. I didn’t like your approach always’

Daniel ‘Did I say I will fail you ever in this last 8 years. Why you stopped trusting me?’

Frank ‘I know you are lobbying with the merchant bankers and exploring all possibilities to take buy in from the proposed board of directors to outset me’

Daniel ‘How can you think that way? Let the IPO subscribe and then we can discuss’

Frank ‘I will not be comfortable with this approach. It has always been this way since past 8 years. Whether it is technology road map or Marketing strategy road map’

Daniel ‘But I conceded right. I never minded when you stole my girl friend Lisa right from my own eyes’

Frank ‘That is strictly personal. Let us not bring that here’

Daniel ‘Do you know Frank, the Board of Directors are not too happy with your forceful style and flamboyant image. They feel the shares will go down or there will be reduced subscription.  You have got into too many conflicts with investor and even in public had been arrogant in declaring that our competitors will be collapsed’

Frank ‘It is for the company. My confidence alone helped the company grow so much’

Daniel ‘Trust me Frank, everything will get normal.. Don’t over react.. I acknowledge and respect your knowledge but diplomacy is needed when we handle bankers, investors and specifically during road shows. No one likes controversies around the founder. All legal risks are to be declared. Any criminal proceedings too need to be declared. Public is investing on us’

Frank suddenly shoots Daniel point blank..

Daniel ‘Frank never expected this….’

Frank ‘Did I say I will fail you?’

Daniel closes his eye.. He is at peace moving to the other world.

Frank begins crying…

Frank ‘Daniel.. you are gone.. Never realized over reactions could damage self..’

Frank goes to police team and hands himself over..

The startup with good potential is taken over by one of the competitor firm .

(Life is not about ego conflicts but balancing ego’s, understanding relation perspective in right way. Sometimes we don’t like to trust or hear truth from right people and explore seeking solace from one who smoothen our visual ego’
