A Hundred Miles Travelled...

A hundred miles travelled…
A thousand seeds sown…
I know not which ones sprouted…
Alas… it shall never be known…
I do know that I did what I was meant to do
Maybe I took along a few fellow travelers too…
With Gratitude in my heart,…
I pray to that One force…
Let me just be the tool and You should be the source…

This is the hundredth sharing since I started writing this blog. Over this time a lot of learning has happened through life and whatever contributed to my growth became a sharing in this blog.

I do not know how many people have read the posts, which post clicked for you,  which one made a difference to you and which one was totally illogical, maybe a bit too extreme… (then again, those who know me well know that quite a few things I do border towards extreme)
What I do know is that it is never possible to make everyone happy. I just need to be myself, it may make some happy, it may make others not so happy.
Then again, I’m yet to meet someone who has the secret to make everyone happy.

What’s important for me is that atleast one person grew from every post that came through me. Atleast one person was never the same as before, after reading a sharing. If that has happened, I think the efforts have paid off…

There have been quite a few places where the sharings received encouraging feedback and some places where I got corrected…
Wherever I was able to touch your heart, my communication was clear and good. Wherever you think that I have not said something correct… it only means that I need to work more on the way I put things across…
I think this is a good time to share some of the nice comments which I have received over time…
So here we go…

-       This blog made me smileJ


-      Little too extremist! Aren’t a few things made for adults, why to talk about kids consuming them? Everything in limited quantity is acceptable till one doesn’t end up being slave of same. Control lies in knowing how much can one handle and then abiding by the same…

-       your blogs are also as sweet as u… keep the good work going

-       interesting… ur blogs are going on different level
-       very true!! Rock on with your thinking hat!

-       stranger is none other than “MYSELF”

-      Guls… rightly said… u need to have the urge to ask if you are in search of a solution… do not worry if the one you are asking is either a senior or junior… what matters is the answer / solution… This is what I have learnt from my previous Boss AJD… and Guls you will agree that you too have learnt this at AJD.

-       Life is definitely not about needs! Its about getting what you want
-       Guls… in such situations what I do is I analyse whether it is necessary to buy or not. I always buy or invest in something only when there is a need for it and not just because I like something. People do call me “kanjoos”… but that is how I am.

-       Good one I agree with you on this and dedicate the link to all my teachers as well
-       Good one dear… once again txs for your greetings and reminding me to wish my teacher and mentor… it was a great feeling when I received a reply from him… txs dude keep it up…
-       To the teachers over the world!!!

-       very nice… the best one so far.

-       Even I wonder ‘where are you from’… ET?? Good one dear.!

-       very true… keep writing such facts about life…

-       nice post… a good food for thought for people running aimlessly through jobs!


(this comment is from a person who is an expert on Organisational Behaviour)
-      We need to work on communication at different levels in the organization. We take it for granted. We also assume so many things and don’t bother to check these assumptions. Many problems can be prevented if we do so. We need to develop courage to ask relevant and pertinent questions, but we have to dare to ask a question to ourselves – why Im am doing whatever I am doing? Thanks for the wake up call.

-      This was nice. Reading between the lines it gives us quite a few messages. If one can stick to this, there can never be breakdowns in relationships. So nice of you to express like this. Keep it up.

These are just some of the responses I received through emails and facebook in addition to the ones already posted as comments on the respective blogs…

This is just those who chose to express… there must be many more…

Like I said in the beginning…  I do not know which of the seeds sown through me have borne what fruit to you…

Forever in Gratitude…
