Act I
Life is full of coincidences. The other
day while I was almost about to doze off during my layover at Dubai airport I met a friend of mine. Okay..a
coincidence...good for me. The back-story is that I knew he was travelling and
we discussed we'll meet up when we're back in India . However never for a moment it
crossed our minds that we can plan to meet in Dubai! So a silly little coincidence.
Moral of the story is - good things can happen unplanned too.
Act II
I was pondering over the thought of
changing jobs soon. With every change I get a box full of doubts as a gift from
my mind! Ain't that a shame? Naah, that's the nature of an introvert (ref:
Susan Cain's Quiet). I was pondering over the "mysteries of universe"
and "ephemeralness of life" and "Black Holes" and many more
topics which would have been useful if I were a scientist or a psychologist.
All this "bullshit" was shot
down when I read a message from a colleague and a good friend, it simply said,
"remember everything happens for a reason which is not always as
transparent as we would like but maybe that is a good thing". I was back
on track and started packing.
Moral of the story is - it is sometimes good to not to have a plan.
Act III
Yesterday was my first day at the new
place. I was sitting on my desk wondering what winds may blow my way in the
coming few months. I was a bit eager to get going on this new assignment (maybe a bit
restless too). There was an urge to prove something on the first day. I shook
my head and started taking a look at some of the emails. That's when I saw my
new email id - bpushkar (b for my last name Bajpai). A smile came on my face;
it felt as if the Outlook was saying to me just "b Pushkar". I took some moments to contemplate on my past; just that relaxed me. A bit of play on the
words and a silly little observation.
Moral of the story is - being yourself is easy by just recalling your past.
Very true... Life is full of coincidences....
