Which one

There is this rather sad realization, that has dawned upon me of late - a nagging sense of under-achievement, that seems to be getting more and more pronounced these days.

Either, I am (ignorantly) expecting myself to do too much in the first place, or, am just not fufilling the cogent expectations that I have of myself (Due to reasons, I know not either).

Am not sure, which one.

Things to learn...

...from a highly energetic, extremely naughty, and a precocious two year old -

- Try to sleep as less as possible.After all, there are so many things to do, and so little time.
(If a two year old staying at home all day, can find so many innovative ways to pass time, am sure you can do much better. Or, maybe no.)

- Live in the present (Right, this a cliche (Right this a cliche (Right this a cliche.. (Ok, this is an infinite loop))))
(For him, 'present' has a granularity of exactly one second and not more)

- If you are curious about how things work at the elementary level, break them down to pieces.

(Doesn't matter if they cost a few hundred/thousand rupees.What matters is what you learn)

- Never ever, share your 'five-star' with anyone.(Yes, I mean anyone)

- Its good to cry once in a while.
(Especially, if you want your parents to agree with your point of view)

- Treat everyone the same
(He recently adressed a dishelved, dressed-in-rags tramp in a temple, as 'uncle'.The same way, he would address a six-digit salary-earning person).

- If you want something, want it so badly, that you will ultimately get it, by hook or crook.

- And most important of all, keep smiling/laughing. It really makes you look cute.

So, the next time you complicate things for yourself/get bogged down by dogmas, you know what to do - Go, play with a two year old !!!

ps: An added incentive of doing so - it provides the much needed content for a post - for a dry,sullen blog like this, that's swathed in eternal torpor.
