Just the other day this safari ad kinda tingled something in me. Just thought I'd share it with u. just that one statement – Reclaim ur life triggered something in me. I swear….
Like me wasn't complaining or anything before that. Just that after seeing that ad, my roomie started a discussion on that one line. Wat it means and how relevant it is in that ad. "Screw the relevance to the ad"..said I. I started discussing the relevance of that line in our lives. I mean just think about it people…how many times have we compromised some event or incident in our daily lives coz of 'work', no matter how small or big that even/incident is. I can at the least speak for myself here. Owing to project related pressures here I have at times stopped goin to play soccer, badminton etc. another simple thing wud be like I plan to call any of u guys and suddenly my boss comes and gives some work and then I put it for laters. Laters just goes form one thing to another and then another and finally I end up tired n sleepy in bed. It starts off with not goin one day and then it sorta becomes a habit. Finally after a significant duration of time of getting used to the new lifestyle, u regret it . damn…screw work.
Over here I am called a rebel, just coz I go to play badminton or go for dance sessions daily. As I said, I was getting into the software geek lifestyle where it was just a screen that was the source of all enjoyment in life. But thankfully this discussion just triggered off something positive in my life and I thought I wud just mention it to u guys. So now I make it a point that I do just chill out daily, atleast for a couple of hours dancing or swimming or playing. It has also done wonders to my public relations :p
Therefore ladies n gentlemen, I hope I have triggered some dormant grey cells in all of u. live life…work will always be there whether u are there or not. Just be sure that we r al making our lives worth the time.
Having said that I also have to mention that a compromise is indeed required when it comes to work life balance. It's a skill that has to be mastered. Can take time but hell… it has to be learnt.
