hat-it up

This is with reference to an interesting article i read a few days back.
Often we get caught up in situations which call for a fast and effective solution, to exit the problem gracefully without causing any hassles to the near and dear ones. At that particular juncture we often tend to get carried away with thoughts that play on our mind and we often end up taking decisions, which make us regret later.

Edward De Bono offered a simple solution to this crisis. Just like we have wear many faces for diferent situations in life...we need to take a holistic view of every situation in life which we do by wearing different 'HATS' to give a different perspective from all angles...

In theory there are 6 hats namely:

• WHITE: no conjectures and surmises, just try and look at the situation from the perspective of a 3rd person ie just pure,basic,undiluted facts.

• YELLOW: Optimism, and all other positives and benefits of going one way or the other.

• BLACK: talks about the negatives and other problems which might arise.

• GREEN: to try and give birth to an out of box/creative notion to tackle the situation at hand.

• RED: this hat deals with all emotional aspects.

• BLUE: this once is like a manager, which tries to decide the order in which the hats are to be worn and also the weight associated with each hat which varies wid situation.

PS: In what order we wear the hats depends on situation to situation...like in a love-relation we should always try and wear the RED hat before the WHITE one. Also more weight should be attached to the RED hat in this case.

PPS: no song iss baar, so that i dont leave you the song but the HAT theory prefessed by edward de bono to ponder over....so keep hatting-up till i find something else worth posting.

28th of december'06...registered for life!!!

I know I promised u all to bring to an end, writing stuff bout myself and hence put a full stop to all the negative vibes. I am being forced to flout my promise, ie if u treat it as one, but you all can be rest assured that the day was as horrid as it could get.

I spent the 27th night busy trying to configure my flashget, downloading s/w and stuff. 'Being Cyrus' - one of the very few 'good' movies which i dint get to see this year- was being downloaded. Inspite of the stalling and megaupload problems i persisted with the download but could'nt complete it.
It must have been 6:30am by then and as i was shutting off my computer, i heard the loudest sound byte of my life. Little did i know that it was going to be by far the most horrid 3-4secs of my life.
I thought it to be a 'real bomb' --coz the sound just seemed so real-- which had exploded outside the house. Unforutnately i was wrong, the sound had come from completely the opposite direction, from the kitchen...yes thats the place where all the drama rather action took place.
On hearing my mom's voice or rather meek crying or sobbing,whtever u may call it, just seemed that something trrible had happened to her. While i made a dash from my room to the kitchen, all sorts of thoughts filled my mind to the hilt, was she ok?was she on fire?did the cylinder burst?
But thankfully, it wasnt to be the case. As i rushed towards the kitchen i saw a whole lot of mess, and mom reaching towards me. On not being able to control my speed, we both just fell on each other.
It was then that i realised that none mischief related to fire took place. This brought an end to the most horrific 20secs of my life till date...
This was followed by intense clensing of the kitchen with the tiles,roof,floor,walls all covered with rajma...and yea i went out and after some persuading got some burnol from the next door chemist who was still in deep slimber...while all four of us had been shaken out of the dream called life, to get us back to the hell called life.


PS: I started writing this post on the 28th of december itself but coudn't
complete. As things stand right now, we in the family have faced 4
different situations/real-time crisis which involve getting out a
horrid experience of kidnapping, and striking a sort of lottery which
has the capabilty to fulfill one of the longest wish of my parents !!

Alright as for the song now...though i should post a nice song which teaches us to put both happiness and sadness at equal footing, and its not that i cannot figure out one...still i shall deviate and tellya about a song thts on my lips these dayz. Its from salaam-e-ishq one of the most waited flicks this year.
"pyaar hai ya saza
aye mere dil bata
tootha kyun nahi, dard ka silsila
iss pyar mein ho kaise-2 ye imtihaan
ye pyaar likhe kaisi-2 hi dastaan
ya rabba de de koi jaan bhi agar
dilbar pe ho na, dilbar pe ho na koi asar"
