Things I learnt today

• It's perfectly alright to snooze your alarm and sleep those few extra minutes, snuggled in your blanket, in a dreamy state...that is your time for wishful thinking. 

• What's more alright (is that grammatically correct?) is to stop and catch a few precious minutes of the movie 'UP' even in the mad morning rush. 

• You are allowed to curse and crib about your job...but if you look closely, you will find small fulfilling joys that make things better.

• Make friends at work place. Find at least that one person who you don't have to be competitive with...coffee times can be so much fun (or in my case, gossip-er).

• Be friends with your boss...if he/she is worth the effort. That is a lot of time saved from bitchy office politics and mindless ego hassles.

• Own up a mistake. But don't run to someone for help. Roll up your sleeves and get the goddamn thing going. Sometimes just putting up a fight more than makes up for the mistake.

• Don't work till late hours. No matter how much you love your job, leave when it's time. As someone wise (That would be you, Sunil) once told me, "Working late every night may fetch you a promotion...but is that worth 365 beautiful sunsets?"

• Catch up with a long-lost friend. Not online. Call. Talk. Listen to their stories. You will be surprised how happy that leaves you.

• Complete that one task you promised yourself before sleeping. Then high-five yourself while grinning shamelessly.
