settle hona hai cont...

Today is a BIG day for me...I am trying to put some more perspectives to the "settle hona hai" post. :)...

4. Gather Assets: This one might sound little weird but I think its relevant. We head towards buying lots of tangible assets. This has got a philosophical angle to it.The tangibles around us contribute to the stability. A plasma TV of your own, a refrigerator brought from the hard earned money and from profits in stock market. We think we are settling down.

5.No more late nights: This again is an interesting observation . We try to devote more time to the productive things which we never used to do in first two
years of professional lives and NEVER when student. A practical example would be reading economic times and attending to CNBC seriously. (atleast with me its happening...instead of listening to loud music in the morning,which I used to do religiously till last year, now I watch CNBC and that too very attentively).

Define???

One of my friends during a discussion asked me...why do u always ask for definitions?
Here's the discussion:

Him : Are you single?
Me : What do you mean by single?
Him : Anyone who's available?
Me : Available for what?
Him : For lunch tomorrow?
Me : No, am not single.

A discussion with other friend:

Her: Are you free now?
Me : Free for what?
Her : ???
Me : ya, free to talk, free for lunch, free for movie....
Her : why do you think so much
Me : ???
Her : I mean, you are always quantifying things.
Me : ya, i like it.
Her : Ok, free for shopping.
Me : ya, lets go.
Her : I hate you.
Me : Am loving it.

So, I guess now its little clear that why do I ask for definitions. Human Beings are subjective by nature. What "A" thinks is always different than what "B" is thinking and interpreting. When one responds to certain messages, he/she should first know what the message/stimulus is all about. We don't think that ways and end up going round and round about issues.
The moral of story is : Clarity.
