Time
If Time were auctioned
Would you bid for it?
If you bid, what would you be ready to pay for it? (Need not be quantitative).
My dear Reader, take pause here for few seconds and reflect on this question before we move on
I too paused as I wrote, and honestly it is difficult for me to answer. Not because we do not have enough, to do with extra time, but because we know that there is never an extra.
- It strikes us that
- Time is the most underrated asset and unfortunately
- Time is also the most ignored asset.
This blog is not about how to manage your time. There are enough floating around the globe on that. This blog is a humble attempt on how to see time. An attempt to understand that time can be your best friend or worst enemy.
Time is not about To-Do lists, time blockers, reading tons of techniques to avoid procrastination. Time management is first a mindset.
“I always reach office on time.” Is only of one aspect of it. Knowing what needs to done now, is the wholesome picture of it. It is how your 24 hours spans out. Your 24 hours is a reflection of
- How you see yourself now and in 5 years?
- - How you approach life?
- - What is it that you are learning and how is your learning curve going( If you are at point that there you feel there is nothing to learn, then there is a much deeper problem) and asking yourself
- - How am I connecting to my family or those close to me?
- - How am I evolving as a person?
Only when you reflect a little on these questions and seek answers, will you be more clear as to the value of time. Only when you see the bigger picture, you will know how your NOW should be!
Such reflections can easily take a back seat in our lives. That’s why, we need external stimuli to give that subtle push. Leveraging the smart phones for affirmations on these angles, will create sea changes in our mindset.
Only when the change is internal, will the external actions mirror it. Affirmations are the little stones thrown in the water to create those ripples.
Learn the value of time before you manage it. Do you have time now? Lets Affirm then.

You Just Have To Listen
“I will make my clothes in 2024” declared my 10-year-old daughter. Surprised I asked her why. Pat came the reply “ I am going to learn crochet from granny and you tube starting today” Though this might initially strike as cute and also about her clearly defined goal, what stands out is the communication. Her first statement speaks volumes. Made me listen and the message conveyed. If the wireless spectrum was visible, we would be choked visually. The world has never been closer in its entire history and yet never more further. People are locked in their virtual world.100 billion messages are sent on WhatsApp alone every day, but we hesitate to tell a simple sorry

Your heavenly Abode
“Take care of your body. It is the only place to live” I noticed the vegetable seller was chewing paan for the past few days. I buy vegetables from him on most days as they are fresh. That day I waited, pretending to check more veggies, till the time all his customers left. Then, in my limited and broken Hindi asked him “Why are you chewing paan? Do you know it's not good?
