In fact, these dopes can kill you! Stress is one of the top causes of heart attacks - and working with stupid people on a daily basis is one of the deadliest forms of stress, according to the researchers of Sweden's Lindbergh University Medical Centre.

Question what's being told
It is not in our nature to accept the norms of the society. We all
start out as rebels but then the influences change us, moulding our
thoughts, our beliefs and finally us.
Does having maturity consist of abandoning one's mind?
Do we have to abandon one's value to find security?
Does practicality consist of losing ur self respect?
We are here to do something of value and that's the dream to follow.
Don't let anyone make u settle for anything less than what u feel u
deserve. No one can decide for u what u deserve. Neithies ur parents
or ur friends can tell u what ur worthy of and not. So don't settle
for the deal everyone offers u to quit ur dreams. Don't quit wanting.
If people gave up so easy don't u think humanity would not have come
this far. Why are v bettering things, why do v want faster computers,
why do we want better utilization of Earth's resources? Because we
want to better things for ourself. Begin at the self n u will touch
the hotel. U can't start by being the saint. U must want it urself
more than u want anything else. Once u achieve it then u can go out
and share it with the world. There is so much u have to achieve and ur
giving up on ur dream can cost us all. It will cost u the most.
So, don't ever give up that fire inside and settle for the deal life
is waiting to cut u.

Writing
Agatha Christie says that its important to be able to write within a
certain word limit. If ur writing a detective story u can't make it of
the length of a short story. The reader then will cheated having paid
a certain amount of money to buy it.
I have never been good at keeping within limits to write anything. I
find it stifling. Ofcourse she does tell one to go ahead an write
whatever one feels like if one is only interested in writing for its
own sake and not in seeing ones works published. It is a choice one
has to make. May be that is the reason i don't write. Well its not
like i don't want to be published. Its just that i haven't written
anything worthwhile as yet. I'm too immature a writer. I'm most
certainly far from being a professional. There that's an honest
confession.
In the course of writing this post i have had a strange experience. I
failed to save the first. Then the second. However i've hammered on.
Only difference is i have writtiem something absolutely different from
what i had set out to write. Proves how difficult it is to get the
perfect result.
Clearly there is more to writing than just knowing ur words or reading
tonnes of books. In her autobiography she doesn't really discuss her
creative process which is what attracts of to authors autobiographies
in the first place but very rarely would u find one of them writin
about their inner thoughts. May be cause they don't want to tell or
way be it's something that can't be told.
There is always a good deal of speculation about whether we can aspire
to become writers or is it like other artistic things a natural talent
that might skip ur genome. But in the modern world Christie wouldn't
have had much trouble writing or finding a fan following what with all
the blogging. May that's the reason there are so many new writers
attempting to write so many new books and so many new stories being
told. Because all of us have some story to tell don't we?

Agatha Christie An Autobiography.
Agatha Christie has been my favorite detective story writer, honestly
the best writer i have come across, ever since i started reading her
stories. My initiation to her began with Poirot. The stories told to
me by my grandmother. Shocking! Yes, she read her books and well she
couldn't choose between Poirot and Holmes. But i digress. Soon i
started reading the old paperbacks of my grandmother and i fell in
love with Agatha Christie. I never really took a liking for Holmes who
i had read earlier perhaps because he came across as too hard or
tough, simply put he seemed to lack the humour. Worse he always
figured everything out in his head during his brooding and never let
any clue slip. I like Poirot cause i could as well play detective
along with him trying to solve the mystery. As i went from school to
college i read through book after book of Christie trying to go
through all her works. I ransacked my school library the BCL and who
ever happened to have a copy. I owned very few tattered old
paperbacks. I was never motivated to buy any books of her mainly as
they cost so much in those days. I read up quite a bit on her over the
internet. I was very much eager to watch the long running play
mousetrap. Once i started working i had my own money to spend and so
bought a choicest selection. A book containing her plays. I loved
reading them. And i most certainly still harbour the dream of watching
a theatrical production. Somehow in all this the writer or her talent
had taken the back seat to reading up and solving each of the
mysteries she wrote. I chanced upon her autobiography. It was a
revealation. No wonder she won so much accolade. No wonder she's
enjoyed by everyone from my grandmother, my parents, and now me. She's
timeless. When as a literature student ur made to read the classics
timeless tales of humanity you don't realise the actual reason for
their timelessness. It's not their closeness to human life but the
beautiful story telling that sets them apart from everything else.
Reading her story of her life there is so much to least even today.
She had seen the two wars of which we have only read but her thoughts
on life although stemming from private sentiments are timeless and
lead u to contemplate life. It would too fantastic to say that i
almost feel agreeing to so many things she says as if they were part
of my own life. But to be honest, as she suggests something changed
while reading her. It hasn't brought a change in my thoughts or the
way i'm living but yes most certainly there is some change. Here is
something she writes so beautifully.
"Life seems to of to consist of three parts: the absorbing and usually
enjoyable present which rushes on from minute to minute with fatal
speed; the future, dim and uncertain, for which one can make any
number of interesting plans, the wilder and more improbable the
better, since- as nothing will turn out as you expect it to do- you
might as well have the fun of planning anyway; and thirdly, the past,
the memories and realities that are the bedrock of one's present life,
brought back suddenly by a scent,the share of a hill, an old song-
some triviality that makes one suddenly say I remember .. .. With a
peculiar and quite unexplainable pleasure." #END

Blogging on the go
The urge to offload whats on our mind sometimes takes us over with
suprise and we find ourselves searching frantically for some form of
release. I'm on a mini vacation and in the midst of a powercut my
brain was on fever to be able to write or do something. Away from
office and the hectic schedule of a city its so difficult to find
something to do. I think we are completely spoiled by this rat race.
We never know what to do when we are left alone with our thoughts. We
find ourselves trying to run away from what is obviously our mind
peering into corners which we'd rather not venture into. Yes we do try
and avoid issues don't we? We are made to believe that unresolved and
painful things should be locked away in such places where we don't
remember them. But truth be told we often find ourselves confronting
those same things on our journey through our mind. Then we are shocked
and bewildered to find their potency to still hurt us.
So in order to meet the need to vent my thoughts i went about trying
to log into my blogger account. But in vain. So finally i searched the
good old Mr.GOOGLE. And he gave me the answer to my queries. Mail ur
blog he said. And so here i'm mailing to my blog. I hope to continue
putting in some words on my whereabouts, in the spaces of my mind.#
