Hey,I'm good,really!

There's this sect of folks who believe in showing off their knowledge base to one and all.They'll talk and talk and talk.Everywhere.With Everyone.They need to tell people that they know.How good they are and how well-read and all that horse s***.Like one of them told me,"Zarine,unless you talk,how will they know how good you are?!" What non-sense! (Or like S would put it,"Gah,what crap!" )

Granted,these days you gotta 'sell' yourself,but why carry your encyc on your sleeve all the time????It's like you trying to convince yourself about your abilities more than the other party!That brings me to another topic.Of talkative people.

From what I've observed and gathered,talkative people tend to be lil insecure deep down.There's this restlessness about them,they are constantly engaged with something or the other.Very hyper and at times,edgy too.Most of them are pretty confident,and this makes it more intresting.Insecurity and Confidence combo.You have to balance them properly,coz if either gets an upper hand,you are at the extremes.You either get into deep depression/fraustration coz of the insecurity or get over the top coz of the extra confidence.

Umm.Where would I rate myself?Extremely moody.I may kick the person I idolise,if I'm in the wrong frame of mind!I WAS talkative,but now it all depends on my audience.Jaisi sangat,waisi fitrat.And this is what I hate the most!!!!!!!!! Talking abt myself in mah blog! Argh!!

Dazed

At times I'm a little lost. Something is on in my mind, but I have no clue what it is. Moving ahead becomes difficult coz something is holding you back. Restlessness and anxiety take over. What on earth is happening? I feel like walking alone in the night. Guess that should soothe me down... Hmm. © Zarine.

A Mid-Life start – Down Under – Part 1

I didn’t know there was a template for a blog post in MS word. In the last 2 years, an idea which was dormant in my idea for about 2 decades or so started germinating. It was mostly watered by the birth of my daughter (that sounded weird) It was about migrating to Australia. There was something about this place which allured me. It was away, self-sufficient, least bothered, aloof, didn’t give a damn and it was both ugly and pretty. It was me in a lot of ways. I started the immigration process by visiting those visa consultants (a special mention of a friend, TJ, a discussion with whom helped me narrow it down) and then over the period of the next 4-5 months struggled through the documentation process. Husband complied wherever possible, but was mostly a sleeping partner in the whole process (that’s very unlikely of him, though. As I discover much later that he played along as he wasn’t much keen on migration, but did so on my behest).  Nevertheless, half of 2014 and a...

Personal Branding

I want to separate out the word personal from branding. I think a personal brand is the moment when you start to lie. Focus first on the personal and you beat up all the competition instantly. Just being honest, being yourself, doing the work, applying the daily practice for just a few months, and your personal self will come to life more than it ever has before. You'll be honest with the people around you and that automatically beats all the competition because they’re too slick, too dishonest, too focused on their brands. You’re not focused on that anymore. When you come up with honest, sincere ideas for people, and you give rather than expecting to take, then you suddenly have separated yourself out from 99 percent of the competition. You win. And it’s that easy to do it.
