Transcendance - 24 :: Living "wierd" but watchful

Prelude :: "That was a posting on my series quite after a long time. The last one was in Jan only. Am I becoming a "pudhuppondaatik kaaran"....enticing only "Agandam"....No suchoo no....".... Skip it...I was just talking aloud with my consciousness
Dear Gowri
Have you observed this around you ? There are people who have agendas for life.....always focussed on time management and very proud about being active in their lives. Such people do not tolerate wastage of human resources and always are on high energy. There are also another set of wierd people who go with the wind. Most of the times they are cheerful and never care to draw even a "to do" list for themselves...leave out bigger things like mission and vision.
Most of us - including you and me - cannot be cateogorized fully in any one of the category as we tend to waver between them. I do have a sense of guilt on those days when I enjoyed too much (think I have expressed this to you in some earlier occassions too). Similarly on days when I am too much oriented to my task list, at the end of day OR when situation go out of hand, I start wondering if there is any purpose in driving myself with a piece of paper.....and if it is much saner to be without any plan for the day....!!
I have explored and experimented on my time management skills (more than that self management !!) that it is not really a great wonder I am a good trainer today...and had some fabulous sessions on time management that I handled during 2008...which was purely volunteerly...!!! Yes, we speak with conviction when we have experience on the subject...what ever it is. The same goes true with spiritual people too who are able to make deep impact with us when they speak up....!!
Well, I had a unique experience of living bit wierd in the past 72 hours but at the same time watchful of my tasks.....thanks to my "home alone".....!! With virtually no one to question me or to get bothered about me, I have been living quite differently to blend the goods of both type of living and this posting fits nice ly into this Transcendance series.
Let me just give a glimpse of what I mean without going into every possible detail (see, I have a goal on conserving my energy and to express things crisply...on Jan 1st, you know).
Well I knew I am going to have a long day at office on monday as I had volunteered to HR to handle the induction modules of the FIRST new recruit at the new center. With no rep of HR available here, it was a delicate situation that we - as a company - had to face...on compromising the induction modules !! For that matter we have a 2 day induction modules which happens on most of Mon and Tues at Chennai....with first day chaired by HR and second day by battalion of teams...IT, IC, NBD, Payroll and also safety.
So, I had a net meeting with the person at HR on friday late evening and left home only by 9.30...to go thru various modues quickly (when I joined there was no such elaborate process...for that matter no induction at all).
So sensing that half of my day will go in this mon to wednesday, I decided to go to sleep at 5 PM in the evening (after seeing SLUM DOG MILLIONAIRE - matinee show). The beauty is that the whole thing was planned with my eyes closed on sunday morning itself...
So, to cut the long story short, I went to sleep at 5 PM and woke up at 3 Am (yes, I mean it), did my kriyas, prepared food and had my breakfast at 5 AM (yes I mean early morning) and reached office at 6.30 AM on monday. It was an action packed day that I was able to speak to my own boss (who sits just a wall away from me) only at 6.30 Pm in the evening...though we have been talking thru' email mode right through !! I stayed at office till 9.30 PM...and left home with lot more energy left with me.
IT was relatively normal day yesterday but quite significant as I scheduled some time with some experienced people to trigger them on process improvements (purely voluntary) and got a thanks note from one of them that it was a great session. So moved with their vocal feedback, I scheduled 45 minutes time with them on passing on my pearls of wisdom about PROCESS IMPROVEMENT...during next tuesday.
Well, after reaching home yesterday with full satisfaction of announcing AGANDAM, I did not have a wink of sleep out of my high energy (had half litre of hot hot milk for dinner..did not feel like eating at all). Then wrote a poem (which I will post this friday only....conserve energy young man......!!) in the midnight seeing the beutiful moon once a while from the window, then put down the list of tasks that I have to handle today ...and realised that unless I reach office bit early (just like monday) I cannot do justice to all the tasks.
Apart from my voluntary intiatives at office, there are quite a few things that I am supposed to do to handle the oncoming second batch of people...on next monday. SO I decided to sleep at 1.30 Am and got up at 4.30 AM and reached office today at 6 AM....and feverishly completing my tasks one by one...ticking off my diary...
So, gentleman, this pause is to vento out my "wierd" living which is nicely combined with watchful of what I am doing....That is why you get this posted at around 7.45 PM so as to tick off at least half a dozen tasks at office.
This also gave me a previlige to make a posting at jollymusings which is the ancenstral home of agandam.....!! How can we forget our roots and past....Can we ?? Will we ??
Suchoo
