Time To Get Over The Inertia

I am blank in my thoughts as I sit here to write but I am determined nevertheless to write. Its been more than an year since I visited my blog.I dont know if its the lack of thoughts or the lack of drive to puts the thought across which kept me away. Lots has changed and lots more will but somehow I seem to be just a bystander watching  time slip by. Rather I am letting time slip by....As I once mentioned in my tweets, I have so much to do but its all in the thoughts, to get them across into action, I lack the drive and I sometimes ponder if its the same me or someone else that is living in my body. I was never so laid back and boring. Thoughts were brought into action before they could be heard by the person next to me- thats how energetic and interested I was. But lately, I just see myself holding onto those thoughts........how much am I really doing to get that thought in action is something I myself cant answer.
Is it my age which is nearing 40 and the fear to take risks ........to make a move? Is it disinterest or the fear of failure and need to start it all over from a scratch? Its all easy to talk insipiringly, but how much do those thoughts do to inspire someone is really what matters.Words looks wonderful when decorated and lots being said in a line but for me those words have only made a beauty statement ......to make them work in action is what I still am looking for.....Its probably the inertia......the inertia of not having done what I want to-which is taking time to set the ball rolling...
I guess we all get into this mode where we have more advices to give and very less which we really follow. We all have lots to talk but never have an ear to listen.Human nature- thats what it is .. no one to blame for that..But when things go wrong, the finger is always pointing away.......the magnetics of the system of never-accept-failure-as-your-own- thats the physics behind it...
Never really thought I had some thoughts to pen on "sweet salt and bitter" but once I started to write I have managed to set the ball rolling........its time ......to LIVE LIFE.......AND STOP READING AND TALKING ABOUT IT....DO AND LIVE AND ACCEPT THE FAILURES AND SUCCESS WITH EQUAL GRACE....the words are for me and hold no advice for anyone......I am off to take the breath of life and do what I wish to......so until next time....and thats gonna be sooner than the last time I said it......for sure!

Time to be back!

I have been missing from bloggeroom for almost an year now. With facebook and twitter casting its spell on me (like on many others),Iguess I just gave a step motherly treatment to my bloggeroom. But now,its time to move from 140 words of status to pages of flowing thoughts.:)

YES...YOU CAN!

My wife wanted me to help her write an editorial for her school magazine.I came up with this.I don't think she found it good enough for her magazine, but I guess its good enough to have a space in sweetsaltandbitter room.So, here goes..

Yes..you can!

What you think today can be a reality tomorrow and the power to make it happen lies within you. Every accomplishment starts with the decision to try. No matter how high the building, the construction always begins with a single brick.

There was once a boy who loved football. He was never too good at it. But every match that his school played, he would reach the ground and watch his team play.His father knew of his liking  for the game and always encouraged him and joined him everytime he went to watch. The coach took notice of it and when there was a need for an extra player, he took him in. The boy was on cloud nine and called his father immediately to tell him the good news.Tears of joy ran down the cheeks of the proud father. Thereafter, whenever the team and his son played, father would be there in the audience encouraging his son to play better. Unfortunately, the boy was not the best of the players in spite of the sincere efforts he put in the game.Most of the times he would be sitting in the dug-out while his father sat in the audience encouraging him not to lose heart.

While his team was practicing for one of the important match of the season, his father suddenly passed away. Tears rolled down his cheeks and with a heavy heart, the boy asked his coach if he could take the day off practice. The coach told him to take his time and be with his family. The do or die match was the next day. The boy went home crying and thinking about his father who never stopped encouraging him in the game he loved.

The next day, the team was losing badly in the match while the boy watched it. He went to his coach and begged to allow him to join the team. The coach was reluctant as the boy was not a good player but since nothing was working for the team, he gave in. Before long, the coach, the players and everyone in the stands could not believe their eyes. This little unknown, who had never played before, was doing everything right. And the boy won the match from the clutches of defeat for his team.

Finally, after the stands had emptied and the team had left the locker room, the coach noticed that the young man was sitting quietly in the corner all alone. The coach came to him and said, "Young man, I can't believe it. You were fantastic! Tell me what got into you? How did you do it?"The young boy looked at the coach, with tears in his eyes, and said, "Well, you knew my dad died, but did you know that my dad was blind?" The young man swallowed hard and forced a smile, "Dad came to all my games, but today was the first time he could see me play, and I wanted to show him I could do it!"

Most of the important things in the world are accomplished by people who keep trying when there seems to be no hope at all. So,friends never lose heart. If you fail in achieving something a 100 times, you have not lost anything because you have discovered 100 ways of how not to do something and that only reduces the chance of error the next time you do it.Courage doesn't always roar. Sometimes,courage is the quiet voice at the end of the day saying, "I will try again tomorrow”.
