Is it Competition... or.. is it Competition?

How much is too much? Where is that end? Is there an end? What is the limit to achieving? over-achieving? or under-achieving? Delusion or dilemma? Where is the full stop? or even half a stop?

The fun of living is to always have something new to learn..to explore. The opposite of that fun is to either not bother to learn or over-learn. Is there something as over -learn? Can you burn yourself out just learning?

Although I have "3 years of work experience", I would like to treat it as negligible. With the real work that I have gotten into less than 6 months back, I have fallen prey to the very common work related problem of limits!! Where are the limits. Timings, money, social life, life at all.. et al. With the whole generation going through a similar phase, I tend to compare. There are all kinds of people. They have all either figured out what they want or are in the process or just pretend that they have. But either way I dont find myself anywhere close. I feel I dont have enough data to make the decision or rather enough choices to make that call. or Do I?

What is the ratio of the different parameters? So many variables! I struggle to find my principles as I struggle to find myself. In the rush of things of this quarter life I have lost much or just lost my vision and fail to see the gains. Oh that reminds me I might have to get reading glasses. Finally.. !! I can get a really sexy pair of glasses and can pretend to be a reader!

Seeing people whooping past you exactly making that "whooop" sound makes you wonder are you already behind? Already? But then would you switch places? Is being content a good thing or does that just make you less competitive?

How much is too much?

The Other Side

So recently two of my ex-bfs got married, one of my ex-bfs ex-gf got married and of course twenty other friends of mine tied the knot too. Its almost a cool guess game when you open facebook every morning you challenge yourself to "how many would have gotten married today" question. A recent conversation with a friend related it to the falling pins in the bowling aisle. Its true though.. ! and its scary at times.. ! Its a lot of change around to digest. The whole generation is suddenly getting married. And there will come a time when the whole generation will be popping kids. And there will be kids everywhere. There will be one popping every min.

Its also a lot of pressure. The pressure of being single in a generation that is pushing things forward. Im glad I am not the last one in this race and have friends to stand by with.

Its strange to see your ex get hooked. Its not feeling sad at all, its actually happiness for them. But you know exactly what they were looking for, what issues we faced and apparently that new girl fitted the bill correctly. Its beautiful though, really is to see them all happy and smiling in their wedding pics.

There is love in the air. :)

There is love in the air man. :)

I really appreciate those men who take the plunge and are ready to commit. Its not a man's thing to do. Most females are mentally prepared but most men are not. But when I see my good looking male friends suited up in their marriage surrounded by hoards of relatives and standing next to the plump love of their life, I really can only appreciate them. That man knows what it takes. So proud of them.

Better lives to them. Love them.
