A Note of Thanks...!!

Well, it isn’t often I say that, but since November was the ‘Month of Thanks’, I decided to write this eulogized piece of prose for all those people having played a significant role in my life (I know I am 19 days late!). If you are reading this, you are one of them. Hmm, from where should I start…Let me begin by telling you that you are amazing!! You all matter for me a lot and I do certainly care for you. Over the years, it is still a great deal of time, when we get and walk together discussing those crap issues. Without you all, may be I would have been somewhat different Nishant and certainly not lala (for those who are unaware about lala thing, I would rather say people in college knew me better with this name) or nish or others (I shouldn't disclose them here :P) or maybe I would have been with those cloddish people who don’t use their mind for thinking purposes. But yeah…thanks to you, I am good enough, atleast till I write this. It gives me amazing feel knowing that someone is there who loves me just for being me. Thanks for being with me in my happy times and always listening to me during hardships. You always had something to say, that steered me to the right direction. I would also like to thank those who criticized me for my actions and work. Their criticism helped me enhance my perseverance and work on my capabilities.

You all guided me the life’s path in a way or other. And for making my life this beautiful, I am indebted to all of you...thank you for all you've done…thanks for everything..!! (p.s.- itna bhi khush mat hona, mene bhi tumhare liye kuch kam nai kiya!! :)). 

I look forward for the same love and support in future….

This post is dedicated to the most lovable person on this earth, my brother, Deepak Goel, who asked me to write something. He might have been expecting something big venerating him, but sorry bhai…free mei itna hi milta hai…!! :P

The Perfectionists' Thing

I was quite wrong when I thought the last semester to be the end for those riveting names for me. A few days back, a new tantalizing one – ‘Perfectionist’ was added to my names’ archive (already having 9 unique names) by one of my new friends. When some of us hear this word – perfectionist, we start picturing a uptight and neurotic person who sets impossibly high standards for himself to work.

Wait wait…may be I am someone who stacks a bunch of papers in properly fashioned manner from end to end, who places his things at right place, who doesn’t forget to lock his laptop in almirah before sleeping & who is quite good with managing font sizes in project reports….but I’m not that uptight one. But yes, you can call me adaptive perfectionist. I will rather take it as compliment J.

Now some of us would argue on whether being a perfectionist is good or bad! If you ask me, it’s good if it makes you feel happy. But if you tend to be one just for making others around you happy, then I’d rather say that you are just making your hair fall J. If perfectionism is used in right way, when one sets achievable high standards, it can be seen as a major productive force which can drive you to great achievements. I would also like to make it clear that being a perfectionist doesn’t infer you to be a perfect person.Be a perfectionist, it’s good to be one if you work within certain limits of perfectionism.

I’m bit of a perfectionist and I don’t mind admitting it. I am generally less satisfied with something I do, & I always try to improve it quite a few times. Even I edited this post 3 times after posting it on the blog. I am not perfect, but I tend to do perfectionism in my every work. And I derive pleasure from doing so.
