Favor

Lot of times we put a lot of our efforts for a person we care and end up surprised to realize that the same person is getting critical and may even become an main obstacle in front of your efforts.

Awkward situation right?

You would be totally startled and start thinking ….
How can a person respond to your concern and efforts in this manner?
Is the person not concerned about himself the way I am?
Doesn’t he realize all am I doing is solely for his own benefit?

My point of view is instead of getting surprised and asking this question to yourself, lets us ask this question to ourselves:

Did the Person ask for Help?

When you go towards a donkey for taking off the thorn in his leg and the donkey kicks you hard ...thinking you’ve come to attack him ….. Whose fault is this?

This is exactly the case when you go out of the way to help someone who has not even asked for your support.

Your care and concerns are all appreciable, but you can’t take decisions of other person’s life even if it is good for that person no matter what is the relation between you and that person.

Does the person really need your help?

Some people get into their comfort zone and are not keen to change things around them. They are aware things are not right but they tend to ignore it.

Such people will get really uncomfortable if you try getting them out of their comfort zone and make them work on the things which even they are aware needs to get amended.

They may still be ok with you doing everything as long as it doesn’t affect their comfort, but sooner or later it will surely affect their comfort and they will end up reacting sharply saying I didn’t need it, you started it unnecessarily.

Was there any personal interest in helping this person?

Sounds selfish huh?.... Not really.
Say if you live with someone in a house which is not that comfortable to live in, then there is your interest as well in making that house more comfortable. So if you act towards it and the other person reacts strongly against it then you need to understand you didn’t do this solely for that person’s interest …. It was in your interest as well.

there are times when we try to help others we do have our motives, be it physical or emotional.


May be if we ask such question to ourselves then we’ll know why we are facing such reactions and feel less hurt.

Does this mean even if we see something is wrong in the life of the person we care for. we should not do anything about it.

Answer is NO….. We shoud support but not spoon-feed.

All we can do is make the person realize that things are not right and he needs to do something about it. If he still doesn’t realize then it is his call. Maybe sooner or later he’ll realize it ….. but your support without his consent will only make things more worse.

In other way you are making the person realize that he is handicapped in terms of resolving his own problem … which may also be a reason for the person’s bitterness or stubbornness.

Lets the person take the lead and you play a supporting role, rather than taking everything on your shoulder.

If we keep carrying our baby all the time when and how will he/she learn to walk?

Excess sweetness spoils the flavor of Tea…. Same holds true for your concerns and actions.

So lets help our loved ones help themselves, rather than just going ahead and doing everything on your own.

One life....One World

Work will remain the same and will continue to be hectic....
More we get involved in work... Deeper we are in the pit we dig.
Everyday u get trapped with Target, Achievement, Deadline and Forecasting
Finally you get so engrossed that you end having no free time for doing anything

Work is though....but work gives us Bread.
We need to respect this fact and move ahead.
Love thy job and not the organization
Love thy work and do it with passion
We'll work hard but also ensure that we do not end up being workaholic
And we will consciously decide when our work clock should stop to Tic

I will continue to enjoy my work all my life …..
without compromising with my personal life
But still I'll continue to deliver my best…..
one Life one World......
Let work continue to be hectic, but we'll give our BEST.


Family is a integral and perhaps most important of our life.
For us and our better future they devote their entire life.
It is our duty to support them when they need us
And try to fulfill everything they expect from us

The road will not look nice and easy all the time;
We may end up compromising lot of things sometime.

Relatives may not listen to you and act stubborn sometimes
Sickness in family may disturb you as well sometimes
We may listen end up listening to things we may not like
We may even end up facing the situation we may not like.

But family is family ….
Though we keep complaining about it
We can’t imagine life without it.

I'll try to make every moment i spend with family special.
I’ll continue to expect less and give more
For the sweet family I always adore

Forever this home will be my cozy nest
One life One World......
My Family is my Life and will be always be my dearest


Friends and the close mates are the people we chose
It is a relationship no one would ever like to lose

Someone with whom you would freely share the matters
Which you won’t be comfortable in sharing with others
Someone we understand, love, miss, trust and rely
And feel when things go wrong will surely standby

They may love spending time with you
Sometimes same person may even avoid you

There may be some emotions differences and disappointments
And yet together we do share some of the beautiful moments

I will be in touch with my friends forever
And will try not to hurt their feelings ever

Forever my friends will have my shoulder to rest
One Life One World......
My Friends are my world and will forever be the nearest.

Work, Family, Friends are three integral part of every one life .... every ones world. We need to balance our life between these three and negligence towards anyone of these will make our life incomplete.

We cant run away from any of these, even if we try to. So lets give it our best and try to make our life better by balancing well between these three factors.

But most importantly we need to give time to ourselves, if we ourselves are relaxed and emotionally stable only then we can do justice to these relations and work.

There is no point in mixing family matters with work... Lets treat this differently and as far as possible do not let one affect another.

Family will not know how hectic ur work is.....
Work will not be interested in ur family matters .....

I personally do not entertain any personal calls between 9-6 all my friends know it and same is the case with work after 6. Only if we maintain this two separate things we would be able to maintain balance in life.

We have only one life .... Lets make the most of it.
