Silly Little Observation or a Coincidence


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.
