Plan Vs On-the Go

Are you a person who plans a lot or someone who does things at the spur of the moment? Heavy into detailing or the easy-going type? Hmmm, let's see how much your poor psyche can be tortured and drilled on this issue, till it can take no more and starts swearing &*#%@# back at me. Not that it'll hamper my thought process in any way, mind you. Read on.

Planners are people who are always meticulous and at times, even ridiculously detail oriented. Usually, their actions are always thought out way in advance, broken into smaller tasks, deadlines laid out and executed to the tee, with perfection. Sounds like a corporate level merger plan? Nah. It could be as mundane as going for a haircut or washing their car.

Highly cautious is these people's approach to life even if it borders on paranoiac tendencies, because they do not like any deviations in their plans. If their car needs a wash, darn it, they'd be standing at the carwash - even if it's raining cats and dogs outside. Also, if you ask what's the most spontaenous thing that they've ever done, they'll excitedly tell you about the time they threw a sudden party - after just 2 days, 48 hours and 2880 minutes of planning.

On-the-goers are people who never think too much in advance about anything. They may or may not be hedonists, but these people are very casual in their basic approach towards life. Taking whatever that comes their way, good and bad would be their dogma. Shoddy and lack of clear direction might cost them a lot but, like it or not, this is what comes naturally for these dreamers. They are the ones that would laugh hysterically if you ask them for their future plans and maybe throw you out of the window, because that's what's their whim at that instinct.

Ok, with the help of my intuitive analytical mind and acute powers of observation, I've somehow managed to box every single member of human race into these two broadest categories. Phew, it was a lot of hard work and I had to do so much of planning and strategy for this topic. And, I do really want to write more, but on a spur of the moment, I've decided to scrap all this stuff and take a looong break. So, Ciao!

Human Needs and Relationships....Part 1

Let's admit it. All of us as adult humans have needs, wants and desires. At first, they have and will be at a basic sustenance level of food, shelter and clothing, and once that's done, it moves to many different elevations above. Also, it always starts with material things like money, car, house, job etc., then kids (and the heavy price tag that comes with them) etc. Think of it as the " taking " phase. At some point of life, when many hairs have been "grayed-and-dyed" after, we hopefully evolve to higher-order thinking like social work, helping/caring for others or spiritual quest etc. - basically, chucking the hugely inflated and egoistic "me and only me" out and replacing it with a big picture view of "what i can do for others", "how i can be useful to Mother Earth"  line of thought process. This would be the " giving " or " pay-back " phase. Sorry, life doesn't offer any free lunch, anytime, an...

Mixed 'Masala'....(Part I)

The following content is purely a figment of my observation and is directly and intentionally connected to real life situations and people. So, if someone is offended, well....don't take it personal, relax, take a chill pill... Ok, after that loosely-construed disclaimer, on which I took a painstaking, laborious, thoughtful, five whole minutes to come up with....on to the main topic. I've waited for a while to ramble on what i've seen, heard and reasonably projected observations of my homeland and here it goes. On a serious note... - India can best be described as an old, rusty but still-working machine. Looks messy and cranky on the outside, but once you're in and get settled, one comes to realize that there's a vague sense of order and things do go in a strange, but definite pattern. I guess that's what keeps us going on and not disintegrated already into anarchy. - A country that's only 63 years young has still a viable, democractic government, seems ama...

'Bush' isms - what was that again?
