Warna

Pandangan setiap individu dalam menilai kehidupan sangat berbeza. Yang menarik tentang kehidupan adalah bagaimana kita mengurus kehidupan sendiri. Perjalanan kehidupan penuh warna ada ketikanya berliku-liku. Bila kita memberitahu, orang kata menunjuk. Kita menegur orang kata memarahi. Kita melawak orang kata mengutuk.

Oleh itu adalah lebih baik memikir dan menilai diri sendiri supaya dapat terus diperbaiki. Namun kadangkala pandangan sendiri tiak selalunya benar.Perlulah kita mohon bantuan daripadaNya.

Menyetujui tidak semestinya menyokong, menegor tidak bermakna membenci. Kadangkala berbeza pendapat adalah kawan berfikir yang baik

Signifikan

Kadangkala yang kecil itu lebih signifikan

Bermula dengan panggilan telefon dari Dr. A, kemudian disusuli email berikut

Dear Dr. R...

Due to the urgency and as has been discussed during the 2nd comm meeting TO*T2008 last friday (18/4/08), please send your new T*OT title to us as soon as possible and I'd tried to call you so many times but nobody respond it, and I really hope you will respond this email as quickly as you can

regards
S*u*r*a*ya

Pada mulanya saya rasa cuak bila membaca email tersebut kerana saya tidak diberitahu tentang apa yang diputuskan tetapi setelah difikirkan secara terperinci ini mungkin satu peluang untuk saya merencanakan semula apa yang saya rancang sebelum ini. Selepas berbincang dan dipersetujui oleh Pengarah Bahagian saya mencadangkan tajuk yang sesuai.

Kemudian saya menerima satu salinan email dr ketua pegawai di atas kpd pengarah saya

Dear Dr. L...
With regards to R's participation at TO*T2008 as a substitute to NH pull-out, she has submitted a technology entitled "Chemicals for the cosmetic and personal care industry". Dg mentioned glycol and the topic R submitted is more AO*T*'s work. Do you think we should include in the T*OT? Would appreciate an opinion.

Thank you

Selepas menerima email ini saya rasakan peluang untuk saya membuat keputusan sendiri lebih terbuka lalu saya mengambil keputusan (dgn persetujuan pengarah) untuk menulis sendiri kpd Ketua Pengarah. Semuanya telah selesai kini dan segalanya berlangsung seperti yang saya jangkakan dan ia meningkatkan keyakinan diri saya untuk mengambil langkah seterusnya.

Diam

Kadang kala diam itu perlu
Diam untuk tarah lorong
Diam untuk kekuatan
Diam juga untuk mengusir atau membingungkan seseorang
Diam itu tandanya sayang, kerna diam memberi ruang berfikir

Satu Bilik

ONE BEDROOM FLAT...
WRITTEN BY AN INDIAN SOFTWARE ENGINEER..

As the dream of most parents I had acquired a degree in Software Engineering and joined a company based in Dubai , the land of braves and opportunity. When I arrived in the Dubai , it was as if a dream had come true.

Here at last I was in the place where I want to be. I decided I would be staying in this country for about 5 years in which time I would have earned enough money to settle down in India . My father was a government employee and after his retirement, the only asset he could acquire was a decent one bedroom flat. I wanted to do some thing more than him. I started feeling homesick and lonely as the time passed. I used to call home and speak to my parents every week using cheap international phone cards. Two years passed, two years of Burgers at McDonald's and pizzas and discos and 2 years watching the foreign exchange rate getting happy whenever the Rupee value went down.

Finally I decided to get married. Told my parents that I have only 10 days of holidays and everything must be done within these 10 days. I got my ticket booked in the cheapest flight. Was jubilant and was actually enjoying hopping for gifts for all my friends back home. If I miss anyone then there will be talks. After reaching home I spent home one week going through all the photographs of girls and as the time was getting shorter I was forced to select one candidate..In-laws told me, to my surprise, that I would have to get married in 2-3 days, as I will not get anymore holidays. After the marriage, it was time to return to Dubai , after giving some money to my parents and telling the neighbors to look after them, we returned to Dubai .

My wife enjoyed this country for about two months and then she started feeling lonely. The frequency of calling India increased to twice in a week sometimes 3 times a week. Our savings started diminishing. After two more years we started to have kids. Two lovely kids, a boy and a girl, were gifted to us by the almighty. Every time I spoke to my parents, they asked me to come to India so that they can see their grand-children.

Every year I decide to go to India? But part work part monetary conditions prevented it. Years went by and visiting India was a distant dream. Then suddenly one day I got a message that my parents were seriously sick. I tried but I couldn't get any holidays and thus could not go to India ... The next message I got was my parents had passed away and as there was no one to do the last rights the society members had done whatever they could. I was depressed. My parents had passed away without seeing their grand children.

After couple more years passed away, much to my children's dislike and my wife's joy we returned to India to settle down. I started to look for a suitable property, but to my dismay my savings were short and the property prices had gone up during all these years. I had to return to the Dubai ....

My wife refused to come back with me and my children refused to stay in India ... My 2 children and I returned to Dubai after promising my wife I would be back for good after two years. Time passed by, my daughter decided to get married to an American and my son was happy living in Dubai ... I decided that had enough and wound-up every thing and returned to India ... I had just enough money to buy a decent 02 bedroom flat in a well-developed locality.

Now I am 60 years old and the only time I go out of the flat is for the routine visit to the nearby temple. My faithful wife has also left me and gone to the holy abode. Sometimes I wondered was it worth all this ? My father, even after staying in India , Had a house to his name and I too have the same nothing more..I lost my parents and children for just ONE EXTRA BEDROOM. Looking out from the window I see a lot of children dancing. This damned cable TV has spoiled our new generation and these children are losing their values and culture because of it. I get occasional cards from my children asking I am alright. Well at least they remember me. Now perhaps after I die it will be the neighbors again who will be performing my last rights, God Bless them.

But the question still remains 'was all this worth it?'

I am still searching for an answer...................!!! START THINKING. IS IT JUST FOR ONE EXTRA BEDROOM??? LIFE IS BEYOND

Minyak Naik Orang Pun Naik Minyak

Orang ramai mungkin tidak begitu naik minyak sekiranya kadar kenaikan bahanapi ini selari dengan kenaikan gaji mereka. Cara pengumuman juga perlulah tidak terlalu mengejutkan. Dijangkakan kenaikan harga bahanapi ini akan menyebabkan byk harga barangan lain juga akan meningkat. Mungkin ada yang meningkat sehingga 100%. Ini akan menambahkan jurang gaya hidup dan menyebabkan keadaan masyarakat yang lebih tertekan. Namun semua ini diluar kawalan kita.komen byk pun tak guna.

Apa yang perlu kita buat...berfikiran positif

Kita lupakan dulu kemungkinan kesan negatif dari kenaikan harga bahanapi ini. Kita fokuskan tenaga dan usaha kita untuk merancang masa depan dan membina kehidupan baru. Kita buat analisa kelemahan diri kita, kedudukan ekonomi kita dan terus berusaha memperbaiki kehidupan sebaik mungkin. Kita tidak perlukan subsidi tapi tetapi usaha dan azam yang tinggi serta kecekalan yang maksimum. Kita perlu ujudkan satu suasana yang menggalakkan masyarakat berfikiran positif dan suasana yang mendorong perlakuan dan nilai-nilai positif, yang menyakinkan kita bahawa jika benar2 berusaha kita mampu mencipta kejayaan.

Plan, execute and pray......
