DESIRE

    All of us in this world want to lead a happy and successful life; Every one of us have a goal in our life and we see life from our own perspective and make moves in such a way which would help us to lead a life the way we intend. After marriage it becomes ‘Our goals’ versus ‘my goals’ and we work as a couple to raise family and give them all the right ingredients like proper education, proper habits in order for them to lead an independent and successful life.

    At any given stage desire is something which keeps growing. This is both natural as well as forceful behavior which arises every now and then. If we earn 100K we buy Acura and say salary is not sufficient whereas if we earn 200K we buy Tesla and still end up saying salary is not sufficient; Have we ever said my salary is good enough? Maybe we felt one day until the very next day you see your counterpart buying a beautiful single family home; our mind is deceptive and looking for ways to exploit our thoughts. I see so many proverbs these days and just wonder why everyone is able to relate to them. When desire ends happiness starts to nourish and maybe flourish too. It is just how we control our desire in this materialistic world.

    Everything is based on relative scale ….rather than comparing yourself with your counterparts just look at the population who still eat one meal a day, have very few clothes and barely have a shelter. I personally feel some diseases may get cured automatically if one practices the wordings in the proverb “Pothum endra maname pon seyyum marunthu” !!!

Price tag for Home

     Home sweet home is part and parcel of our life…whether we rent/lease/own a home is always a home and close to our heart. In fact I have stored my land line number as ‘Home sweet home’. No matter which place we go on earth for vacation we always want to come back home after some point. I still remember our home back home where I played garage ticket, my study room where I burnt midnight oil, terrace upstairs where I enjoyed sunset, backyard where I used to help mom pluck drumstick and curry leaves since she always considers me tall no matter how small I am J

     If we look closer home becomes emotionally attached to our lives some point or the rather and the best thing is this happens without our conscience. We keep adding fond memories which lasts for life long. At some point we may have to spread wings and move out of the house but we always love to go back to our home. What once built with the help of cement and mortar grown tall in stature and sees us grow through different stages.

    These days some people attach a price tag to the house; I am not here to deny when the house appreciates in value we do feel great but what is that you are gaining by knowing the news? Are we realtors on a constant lookout to swap houses? Market volatility keep changing and house value may oscillate but why do we even care; Even if the economy is great, job market is too good still you are running a risk of having your house depreciated due to legal troubles your neighbors had to go through and hence they sold for a lower amount which in fact affects price of your home since it is all about comparable. For things beyond your control I personally feel no point in breaking your head. I would rather enjoy each day at my house without attaching a price tag because not everything has to be evaluated and calculated every time.

Supply Vs Demand

      What would happen when there is whole lot of competent candidates in Job market but economy is very poor or what would happen when there is whole lot of demand for water but there is hardly any rain? Supply and demand has to match or at least reach to an optimum level where one doesn’t dominate the other ….If supply and demand matches then that’s ideal and that’s the perfect world we are talking about!!!

     I am basically working in Supply chain and know the consequences when one overtakes the other; Companies are spending lots of money to have a system in place and have all controls and processes to make sure neither it carries more inventory which reduces the cash flow nor sees that demand doesn’t increase significantly which would potentially mean you may lose business to your competitors. It is a balance where companies are striving for by adopting industry best practices and also by investing in sophisticated technology.

    One bizarre thing in medical world is the supply and demand are poles apart; In India look at how many public institutions we have for medical schools, privatization is this field is dangerous too since it would overkill the market. But if there is a constant demand amongst students for medical field then the amount of public colleges has to increase. In today’s world student pays a hefty amount to get into medical school and even larger amount for a master’s degree. At the end when he/she comes out to serve public obviously one of the goals would be how to get on track with financial goals because there has already been significant amount of money involved and also the number of years since high school. All this would be taken into consideration before someone makes a move.  Al of us cannot be a Gandhi ..that is not practically possible !!! Medical students should have a choice to serve public without having the burden of the money they have spent upfront.

    
   One thing always remains true …Karma will find its way and it is way too clever to interpret our human behavior and give us the right judgment. So do your duty and leave the rest to almighty.
