Do you react or over-react?

Expectations are a part of human tendency. We expect things to go a certain way, we expect a certain result, we expect people to talk in a certain way. And when things go right, it is bliss.

But if the results are deviated, it is chaos. What do you do at this point? React or over-react?

If you sit and analyse what happened, it helps, but at that time, the sadness comes out in the form of anger and blinds you.

You need to let out your emotions, but not in a restrained manner, and channelize them.

1. Take a bath, refresh yourself
2. Divert the attention
3. Think of/Consider alternate routes.
4. Understand the people you were dealing with
5. Make sure you understand, why and what happened.

These expectations are a part of life, one thing goes wring is not the end of the road, people and thing are sometimes vulnerable and circumstances may change.

Vacuum after completing a heart-warming series

This was a poster created after I completed Homeland, a series on Disney plus Hotstar. It was a part of my day for about 3 and a half months . The last episode was overwhelming . It left me sense of contentment too, not asking for more.

Over the last two years, I used to see the poster of Homeland come up as an option on the screen of Hotstar, but chose to move on to something else, damn, these people running our devices do know us better than us.

Homeland is an American espionage thriller television series developed by Howard Gordon and Alex Gansa based on the Israeli series Prisoners of War. The series stars Claire Danes as Cathie Mathison, a CIA officer with bipolar disorder and Damian Lewis as Nicolas Brody, a Marine Corps Scout Sniper.   Brody was held captive as a prisoner of war, and Mathison becomes convinced that he was “turned” by the enemy and poses a threat to the United States. The series storyline grows from this premise, together with Mathison’s ongoing covert work. The series also stars Mandy Patinkin as Saul Berenson and Rupert Friend as Peter Quinn.

When the series comes to an end, I usually look up the characters on Social Media, I began this after Modern Family. Somehow I do that only after the series ended, except for Prison Break where I looked up Wentworth Miller who plays Michael Scofield, after his apparent passing away in the series. I realised this was a vacuum I was trying to fill in, as I was so used to these characters being a part of my life, apart from my family, work, near and dear.

I used to watch the making, the interviews of the characters, read short articles or posts about them. It was like I was saying Bye in a slow manner.

It is difficult to let go some people or things who have been a part of your life, so I believe we need to give it the time it takes, recall memories, like I did in the form of watching the making of the series, give it the love we have, cherish the memories, get to know them a little more and then say the final goodbye, only to re-start the journey again with a new set of characters waiting to find place in our hearts.

Which was the series that left you with a vacuum?

The Best day is Today.

Today is the best day. The image relates to the date I created it, and have a specific memory associated.

Why Today? Everyone says today is all we have, so true. Everyday is a fresh day, and today you can begin a new habit, you can set the tone for the week, Arrange your cupboard, in fact, arrange the files on the desktop, read and relax a bit.

Everyday is an opportunity, a reason to continue what we did yesterday. When the day is here, the morning is a complete game changer. Here is what you can do.

1. Get up with a sense of calm and gratitude.
2. Get some sunlight and fresh air.
3. Greet your loved ones at home with a smile.
4. Sit down and have the water or tea or coffee.
5. Now you are ready to take on the world.

I have my days too that are totally chaotic, but I find my ground during the day or towards the end but I am aware that today must not be wasted, must not be neglected, must not be forgotten.

Sometimes people are forgotten during the day, that is because you are involved, if you regret not talking to them, make it up, because today is to be valued.

Someone is waiting for your message,

someone is waiting for that report,

someone is waiting for you to get back home early,

someone is happy to have you around.

Value them, Value the work you do today, Value the smiles and messages you receive non-work related, those friends who send you memes and you respond a day later, no…do it today.

Every moment is precious, the 30 seconds reels had generated so much of money, that is proof enough.

Mornings are best, evenings that go into planning tomorrow too are great.

So how was your day today?
