The Word of mAn[S]o0r

lately, it seem’s like i’ve been addicted to panadol’s. yes, those sweet little round tablets in the blue packing (no, not the red ones). for one thing, taken at night, they help me sleep a lot better and i wake up refreshed. 

before you negate this fact, let me clue you in. i’m one of those blessed(?) individuals who have lucid dreams. for the uninitiated, lucid dreamining is where your conscious doesn’t really go to sleep when you do but instead, keeps on thinking the world created by the subconcious is actually the real one. thereby keeping itself alert and active all night long. the result is i wake up more tired than when i goto sleep as my body doesn’t have the time to recuperate. 

a lot of people try and induce this state at night…. i get it naturally. suffice it to say, my dreams are much, much, much more real than those people normally have. 

so yea, back to the panadols. in the last week of october, i had a lot of travelling. three cities in 10 days to be precise. the reason? training seminar’s i had to deliver on behalf of my company. as with any pre-training day, i dont take any risks as far as my apetite or general well being is concerned (obviously, it’s doesn’t reflect good on me that the trainer people paid upwards of 7k a day to learn from can’t even keep his eyes open). so i started taking panadol’s before going to bed. 

before i knew it, i was hooked! now i keep a ‘patta’ of panadol in my office, at home and in my bag at all times. (i did think about keeping one in the car, but it gets so hot during the day that it would be all but useless… still thinking of a way for that though)

which brings me to the second topic of this post.. the harkat mein barkat! it’s a line i keep hearing from my elders and others who have been wisened by age and experience. even though the english variant of ‘a rolling stone gathers no moss’ rears its ugly head from time to time, i haven’t had much evidence on that front to make a judgement. 

my ‘harkats’ are happening on many levels, (though physically moving my ass around is still a big challenge mind you) the least of which is the training tour i wrote about above. the number of pre-sales meetings we do here have increased as well thanks to new strategies and targets imposed as well as the general ‘driving around’. but the harkat most i’m apprehensive about is one of the milestone harkats in life, the shaadi. 

i tried, i failed and i relegated control. now, i’m back and making more efforts. 

afterall, if you do get up after failing, that doesn’t really count as a failure does it?

here’s hoping the harkat’s bring some much needed barkat! amen!
