Jack of all trades is a master of none

Since my childhood; I heard this phrase a lot. At school, I was asked to master a subject, at home I was asked to concentrate at one thing at a time and now at work I am asked to excel in my particular department.
People always implied that; if; I am involved in learning or doing a lot of stuff together, I may end up being imperfect / unfit for a specific thing.
Though, I agreed to it up to certain extent; I never fully accepted it.
While, Master brings experience and knowledge with him; Jack brings in a 360 degree look and perspective. While master is required for guiding and showing path; Jacks are required to create new ones to follow on. While master has the privilege of being right; Jack has a privilege of making mistakes.
Many people aim at being a master, but I aim at being a Jack of all trades…my reasons being simple, my inquisitive mind loves to learn; my confused being is unable to decide a path; my changing society poses a lot of new sets of problems to me and it requires constant learning and re-learning and lastly, I fear being perfect.
So, I leave it up to you to decide for yourself; whether to be a master or a juggler. No one can define your limit, your passion or your achievement….you are to term yourself and define your position in life.
Be happy to say what you aim to become; because master or  not you are a universe in yourself, explore, understand, make mistakes, create and unleash the POWER WITHIN.

That Day

Image
Elated and happy, I woke up with my heart full. After all, it was Christmas and I was about to get the biggest gift of my life…my dream was turning to reality. Everything was falling in line as if it was destined to be perfect, I still remember my grandfather convincing my parents about it; generally it is the other way round and that made me more confident. Today, it was the most awaited phone call for me; though we have talked umpteen times before; but this call was the seal of approval we have been waiting for 8 long years. I knew it will be a happy call; after all your parents approved of me…us…WE. The day was slogging by; while my emotions were getting the best of me. I was not able to decide which emotion was striking me when; I was happy at times; anxious at the next; joyful and suddenly distressed. The only emotion my mind was not in a mood to process was sadness. The phone rang and I jumped to attend it and suddenly the time, the place, the season, the emotions all...

Mirror is not your only reflection

Recently, we all have been packed with loads of events. We celebrated women’s day, witnessed people power through election results and then completed it with bright and happy colors on Holi. I came across many words during this time period some of them being equality, empowerment, peace, togetherness, humanity, trustworthiness et cetera. The emotions portrayed were beautiful, the messages spread were a delight to grasp and read. But, what bugged me most was that no one talked in depth about the underlying factor of all…RESPECT. Many a times we come across people online, dissing each other, swearing, spreading negativity about people they might not even know in reality. Then there are people around us talking in a foul and disrespectful language with people they assume to be below them. In the end, It is US….we are sometimes the people behind the computer or the person behaving badly with others or simply disrespecting our own self. What we need to understand is that...

New Year, New You?

Image
Each year when the clock strikes 12 on 31 st of December, people welcome a new year with open arms and heart. Some people make new resolutions; some new promises while some new targets. But, overall we all feel that it is a new start. The question is…is it really a new year, yes; the date changes, we throw our old calendars and replace them with new ones. But what makes us believe that it is a new year? New Year symbolizes new start, a beginning and new chances. We as a human always strive to do our best in whatever we do; we dedicate ourselves to our goals, our aspirations and/or our relationships. But at times we feel that our complete devotion is also not enough. We may fall in the trap of believing that we may be good for one thing, but; not for another. For e.g.: we may have achieved our best in our careers, but are emotionally drained due to lack of nurturing our relationships. So, when we get another chance to rewrite the wrongs, we take it and promise ourselves to impr...
