Procrastination!!! Wikipedia states," In psychology, procrastination refers to the act of replacing high-priority actions with tasks of low-priority, and thus putting off important tasks to a later time." That was what I was doing all these days. I remember my old boss -who looked exactly like a Laughing Buddha, especially after he shaved his head. He would have easily drilled three holes on his skull and used it as a bowling ball - had imparted me this attribute. We started things with utmost interest, raised expectations and then declined . So analogous to the Product Life Cycle Model rising and declining at a faster slope, with almost no maturity stage.
I started blogging with utmost interest, and then what, procrastinated. But last week brought a sudden change in me and the entire nation. An awakening to excel, thrive to excellence, prove our metal, awaken our consciousness. India won the ICC World Cup 2011. A feeling which cannot be described in words. A moment where exuberance, pride, happiness, relief, surprise and many other feelings flowed simultaneously among millions of hearts in nano seconds of time. That was when we awoke from hibernation. Twenty eight years is a long time dude. This moment proved many critics, including me wrong, but indeed it was a moment when I definitely not regretted accepting my mistake with pride. Thousands of heart beats thumped together crying Jai Hind. That moment had united 1 billion people.
This is definitely not the end. Anna Hazare carried this awakening baton forward when he carried this united movement against Corruption. Thousands of people without food in Jantar Mantar, A few million online and rest in respective cities united against Corruption. This was the major movement seen after Independence !!! 2011 has been a wonderful year indeed when the mindsets of people phased from hibernation to awakening drifting away from procrastination stated in Wikipedia. A practical example of the sloka in Sanskrit, " Tamso ma Jyotirgamaya", Move me from darkness of ignorance to the light of knowledge. Go on India and Mr Hazare , I am with you.
Jai Hind!!!
echoed my thoughts exactly. well said!!!!
