Ye Meri Zindagi ;)

If you are expecting another sweet article from me, you are on the wrong blog!

“Live and Let Live” and “Do not step on my shoe and I won’t step on yours” are simple Fundas of my life… (Doesn’t it sound sweet?) I’m sure you must have one too…But what do I do when someone invades my space? Answer is simple. You stepped on my shoe, so be ready to face the devil inside me.

Remember Kareena Kapoor saying “mai apni favourite hu” in Jab We Met and Aisha from the movie Aisha? It is definitely good to love oneself like Kareena but if one turns out to be like Aisha, who tried to control others action for her own happiness that is mean, and selfish!

Trust me, this happens on daily basis…it is just that we do not notice it or when we do, we simply ignore it. But as time passes it builds on and on, like a volcano and someday the person who is accepting all your actions and listening to what only you have to say will take no more.

I went to Bangalore Central last week with my aunt. She picked up this pink kurthi with some blue and white flowery print. I convinced her that it is not nice and made sure she didn’t pick that up just because I hate pink! (No, this is not from ‘Aisha’ movie…I’m talking about my own experience.)I was chatting with Sumit a while back, and I forced him to change the fonts just because they were not ‘my type’. Consider this on a broader scale, Most of the times the manager cancels or postpones his meetings for his own convenience this is to show power and authority. (I am not talking about the genuine cause here.) which I again believe is selfish. Well…there are countless number of such acts, experienced both by you and me. I believe that there is a line for all the actions and when one crosses that line; they must also be ready to face consequences.

I believe that “what you do is what you get”. It doesn’t matter if you think “I know it all” and “I am always right” “I am the best” (like Sharukh Khan who keeps saying I am no.1) what matters is what people feel about you. They ‘always’ remember you for how you treated them. Your kind words and actions, even really silly and stupid ones are more acceptable than the rude and arrogant ones. At the end of the day, no matter how much you love yourself…you would always want to receive some love in return. If not love, People’s acceptance (whole-heartedly).

Now, I’m not saying that you should not love yourself or that I’m right. I may be wrong, but this is just my opinion, my view. But I also believe that too much sweetness can spoil the candy. Like my friend, Baban says, “we should always think before our acts...because only we will be held responsible for our own actions...”
